HDR and Dolby Vision Support

We are happy to announce HDR and Dolby Vision support in PlexyDesk. With a compatible display, PlexyDesk delivers richer colours, deeper contrast, and a more immersive visual experience than ever before.

Improved Dark theme

We have improved dark mode in PlexyDesk to make it feel more polished and easier to adjust. The compositor now includes more options for fine tuning individual visual properties, giving users more control over how the desktop looks and behaves. The result is a dark theme that feels cleaner, more consistent, and more flexible than before.

Changelog

fix wayland vk error and buffer issues
clipboard support across plexyshell and wayland and x11
XQuadro was updated to support new plexyshell protocols changes
faster desktop rendering with compositor optimizations

Current status summary

PlexyDesk includes a functioning compositor shell with integrated dock and menubar components.
The runtime supports shell-owned composition, visual presentation, and client-submitted surfaces.
Public toolkit headers are documented through the generated PlexyUI API reference.
The wiki now includes architectural, subsystem, example, gallery, and contribution pages intended to track the codebase.

Tracking pages

Development Status for implementation notes and subsystem coverage
Development for engineering-facing references
Special:RecentChanges for the latest wiki edits
Gallery for visual captures of running PlexyDesk sessions
PlexyUI API for source-backed toolkit reference

+== HDR and Dolby Vision Support ==
-'''News''' is the public chronicle for the PlexyDesk project. It is less about marketing announcements and more about keeping a readable record of what the system already is, what areas are actively being refined, and where readers should look next.
+We are happy to announce '''HDR''' and '''Dolby Vision''' support in '''PlexyDesk'''.
+With a compatible display, PlexyDesk delivers richer colours, deeper contrast, and a more immersive visual experience than ever before.

-== Current headlines ==
-* PlexyDesk already presents a functioning compositor shell with its own dock and menubar.
-* The rendering path supports a visually rich desktop with shell-owned presentation and effects.
-* The project includes a native application toolkit so programs can look and behave like part of the same environment.
-* Documentation is being expanded into a permanent project publication, with architecture notes, component surveys, and generated API reference pages.

-== Why this page exists ==
-The purpose of this page is to give PlexyDesk a chronicle that reads clearly to new visitors while staying grounded in the work already represented elsewhere in the wiki. As the publication grows, this page can carry milestone summaries, notable additions, and high-level editorial notes.
