The Big Leap

Personal Note

Today we are happy to annouce the v1.0.0 release of centerpiece 🎉!

What began as a small personal project with the goal to remove all bars in my desktop environment has transformed into a full featured application launcher with a variety of plugins. A special shoutout to @a-kenji who pushed the development along a great deal. This is the first of my personal projects to reach the 1.0 milestone!

Now, without further ado, enjoy this release and find us many bugs.
-- @a-kenji & @friedow

History, Nix and Wifi

🔙 Brave History

Introduced a new plugin to show Brave browser history. This will open the selected entry in a new tab.

❄️ Nix Module

We now have a nix home-manager module in the flake.nix. It automatically configures the indexing service for git repositories and adds centerpice as a system dependency.

📶 Wifi

Added a plugin which shows nearby wifi networks and lets you connect to them by selecting one. FYI: This depends on networkmanager and dbus.

Batteries, Bookmarks and System Control

🔋 Batteries

Introduced a new plugin which shows the current state of charge and the remaining time to charge / until discharged.

🔖 Bookmarks

There are two new plugins to control the Brave browser. One for opening bookmarks in a new tab, the other for opening brave in app mode for bookmarks located in a directory called "Progressive Web Apps". These plugins can probably generalized for all chromium-based browsers later on.

💻 System Control

Added a plugin to lock, sleep, restart or shutdown the system.

Indices, Resource Monitor and Transparency

🗄️ Index for Git Repositories

The newly created diretory /services will house little systemd services like the service creating an index for the git repositories plugin. This enables faster startup time for plugins since all information they need is already indexed.

🪟 Tranparency

The application now has transparency. This means rounded corners and no more empty space if no entries are left in your search ✨.

🔢 Resource Monitor

There is a new plugin which provides you with the latest numbers from your disks, cpu and ram 🎉.

Searching, Scrolling and Missing Window Titles

↕️ Scrolling

Well: You can scroll now 😁.

🐛Bugfixes

• The first entry will now be selected on new search input. This is prevents the cursor (which you use to select entries) from going missing.
• Fix empty lines in the windows plugin. This was caused by the window title being empty. The window plugin now falls back to displaying the app_id if the window title is missing.

Window Switching and Git

🪟 Window Switching

Enables you to switch switch between windows be searching for their title. The only window manager supported so far is Sway because this is the one I'm currently using.

👩‍💻 Local Git Repositories

Lets you seach through all git repositories in you home directory. Selecting one will curretnly open Alacritty, Sublime Text and Sublime Merge.

Back in Time

Attempt number 6️⃣ of getting desktop search right. This time featuring: Rust, iced.rs and Nix.
Since most ombinbox desktop searches I've tried lack the ability for their plugins to update data proactively, I decided to implement that first. This comes in the shape of the ⌛ clock plugin. Furthermore for this release I've implemented your standard 🚀 application launcher plugin.

New Features

• ⌛ Clock Plugin – displays date and time, accurate to seconds
• 🚀 Applications Plugin – launch applications, based on .desktop files

v0.2.0

✨ New Features

• Open local git projects (VSCode)
