What’s new in version 2.3.3

  • Bundled Factory Defaults: Introduced a Defaults.plist and automatic registration at launch for a clean first-run setup without host-specific files.
  • Default Performance Mode: “Medium” is now the default for a balanced experience out of the box.
  • Refined Performance Profiles:
    • Low: SEGMENTS 14, SAMPLES 16, RESOLUTION_SCALE 0.6
    • Medium: SEGMENTS 22, SAMPLES 24, RESOLUTION_SCALE 0.85
    • High: SEGMENTS 36, SAMPLES 40, RESOLUTION_SCALE 1.0
    Rebuild now happens directly from CONFIG (rebuildPlaneFromConfig), ensuring consistent shader, mesh, and pixel ratio settings.
  • Auto Screen Selection: On first run, the first available display is automatically selected so you instantly see a preview.
  • Improved Diagnostics: New logCurrentDefaults function logs all relevant settings (intensity, blur, speed, performance mode, screen selection, etc.).
  • Optimized Background Handling: Background image (Base64) is applied before effect parameters; CSS cover injection ensures full-bleed visuals.
  • Options & Preview Enhancements:
    • More reliable, smoother fade-in in previews
    • HTML status logs toggleable and persisted across sessions
  • Stability & Consistency:
    • Pixel ratio tuned via Curtains for better performance
    • No double render loops; auto-render preserved
    • Clean plane rebuild when switching performance profiles
  • Updated First-Run Defaults: Adopted your current setup values (e.g., blur, rain/fog intensities, speed) without bloating the bundle with a default image.
  • General Refinements: Various internal improvements and minor fixes for a more stable and polished experience.

It's a simple on/off screensaver. It looks very good, virtual water raining on your computer. - -> The dev's website is whacked whereby it shoves a giant "HELLO" at you, leaving a goofy cursor trail. It offers not-a-clue what to actually do there. So, click on "Goodies" and that gets you to software downloads. Note that the dev still thinks Apple uses "Mac OS X". Summary: A very eccentric, difficult, out-of-date website. But so far, the software is fun.
