Here are the revised patch notes, rewritten from your solo developer perspective.
Fortiori Wallpaper Engine ENHANCED Patchnotes:
NEW FEATURE: The Preset System
I have completely overhauled how you save and manage your wallpapers. You no longer have to stick to one single layout—you can now create, name, and manage unlimited configurations.
Preset Manager: A new menu allows you to browse your saves with live thumbnail previews.
Quick Actions:
Overwriting: A dedicated "Save" button on the main UI instantly updates your currently loaded file.
Management: Rename files, "Save As" to create copies, or delete old setups directly from the list.
Safety: I added a "Are you sure?" confirmation popup to prevent accidental deletions.
Tray Integration: Right-clicking the system tray icon now shows a "Recent Saves" submenu, letting you switch between your top 5 layouts instantly without opening the editor.
The .fw File Extension
To support the new Preset System, I introduced a custom file format: .fw
True Portability: These files are completely self-contained. You can share a single .fw file with a friend, and it will load perfectly on their machine.
Embedded Assets: No more broken image paths! When you add a custom image or animated GIF to your scene, the engine now bakes the image data directly into the save file .
Smart Compression: Thumbnails and assets are optimized to keep file sizes manageable while ensuring zero dependencies.

Massive Clock Update (30+ New Styles)
I've expanded the Custom Clock with a massive library of new aesthetic options.
10 New Frames: Hexagon, Octagon, Gear, Rounded Rect, Sunburst, Cardinal Cross, Triple Ring, Dashed, Modern Arc, and Diamond.
10 New Hands: Sword, Arrow, Diamond, Baton, Tapered, Hollow, Kite, Lightning, Teardrop, and Minimal.
10 New Number Layouts: Roman Numerals, Dots, Squares, Diamonds, Triangles, Cardinals (12/3/6/9), Minimal (12 only), Thick Ticks, Thin Ticks, and Stars.
Color Control: You can now independently color the Hour, Minute, and Second hands.
🎨 Editor & Gizmo Overhaul
Precision Controls:
Absolute Scaling: Resizing elements is now 1:1 with mouse movement, preventing jitter or "infinite growth."
Inverse Rotation: Rotating elements now feels natural and weighted (inverse drag).
Screen Clamping: I added clamping so elements can no longer be lost off-screen.
Visual Smoothing: All movement, resizing, and rotation is now interpolated (Lerped) for a high-end, smooth feel.
Advanced Image Options: Added support for Animated GIFs, border styling, drop shadows, and multiple fit modes (Cover, Contain, Stretch).
⛅ Environment & Simulation
Real-Time Sync: Added "Sync to System Clock". The internal day/night cycle will now perfectly match your real-world time (Dawn at 6 AM, Dusk at 6 PM).
Rain Customization:
Color Picker: Change rain color to anything (e.g., blood rain, matrix code green).
Thickness Control: Sliders for Min/Max raindrop width.
Theme Effect: You can now choose weather you want a theme's special effects or now
🔧 Performance & Optimizations
Smart Caching: The UI and static elements now use a "Dirty Flag" system. They only redraw when you actually interact with them, significantly reducing CPU usage.
FPS Cap: When running as desktop background it will be capped at 30 FPS, ensuring the wallpaper uses minimal resources while you game or work.
