Adds a "Settings > Auto-update check" submenu with Disabled / Hourly /
Daily / Weekly. Hourly is the default; existing settings files pick it
up automatically via serde default. Manual "Check for updates" is
unchanged and still fires when auto is disabled.
The 24-hour hardcoded interval is replaced by reading
Settings.update_check_interval_secs in both the startup scheduler and
the post-check rearm path. None means auto is disabled and no timer is
armed.
Adds five new i18n keys across all eight locales.
Implements every recommendation from the UI/UX review of the two-bar
bubble: readability bump, faster glanceability, per-provider identity,
smarter resize curve, and a richer snap behavior set.
Readability + sizing:
- Default width 180 → 200, min 120 → 140 (Windows shell minimum legible
status-text floor is 12 px; previous breakpoint produced 11 px text)
- Discrete breakpoint table replaces the linear bar_h = h/4 formula —
140/200/280/360 widths map to (bar_h, font, row_gap) of
(12,11,4)/(16,13,6)/(20,15,8)/(24,17,10)
- Aspect tapers 3:1 → 2.8:1 → 2.6:1 as width grows so bars stay
proportionally chunky at large sizes
- Right-column width now derived from GetTextExtentPoint32W of
"100% · 23h" against the real font instead of the bar_h * 6 heuristic
Glanceability:
- ring_color_for_percent rewritten as a 4-band cliff: orange < 60,
amber 60-80, red 80-95, deep red ≥ 95 — gradient hid the 75 vs 85
difference at narrow bar widths
- Percent moved inside the bar (right-aligned with auto-contrast picked
from luminance of the underlying fill or track)
- Right column now shows only the countdown ("2h 14m"), not the
combined "X% · 2h 14m" string. i18n::format_countdown is now pub so
the bubble can request countdown-only; the panel still renders the
combined string via format_window
- "5h" / "7d" muted labels added in a new left column
- Rows whose bar is ≥ 95 % get a 15 %-red blush behind the entire row;
fill color also brightens via a slow triangle wave (TIMER_PULSE,
80 ms, only armed when at least one bar is in the alarm band)
Per-provider identity:
- 4-px vertical accent stripe at the left edge — Claude orange
(#D97757), Codex green (#10A37F) — disambiguates the two bubbles
when both are enabled. Mirrored into the expanded panel so the
identity carries across surfaces
Snap behavior:
- Corner snap: release within 32 px of a work-area corner slams the
bubble into the corner with a 12-px inset
- Taskbar-adjacency: SHAppBarMessage(ABM_GETTASKBARPOS) supplies the
taskbar rect/edge; bubble docks against the inner face with a
4-px gap on the docked edge
- Peer-Y alignment: when a second bubble exists within ±8 px on Y
at release time, the dragged bubble snaps to share its top edge
- WM_SETTINGCHANGE handler re-clamps bubbles into the new work area
when taskbar moves / auto-hides / DPI changes
Color packing:
- Direct DIB writes use rgb_to_dib (B,G,R,X memory order) instead of
into_colorref (R,G,B,X COLORREF order). Already corrected in the
previous redesign for the bar fills, but the accent stripe and blush
go through the same path now
