Changes:
- Added 'Open' button to each plugin in the Installed plugins list
- Clicking Open tries: show_ui(), open(), or get_widget() methods
- Added _open_plugin() method to both PluginsView and PerfectMainWindow
- Added Settings button for plugins that have settings
- Shows error messages if plugin can't be opened
This fixes the issue where plugins couldn't be opened or viewed.
New file: core/game_overlay_integration.py
- Detects EU game process by name (entropia.exe, entropiauniverse.exe)
- Attaches Activity Bar as child window of game window
- Overlay moves and resizes with game window ('burned in' effect)
- Shows/hides based on game process running
- 2-second polling interval to check game status
Integration:
- Added to main.py alongside overlay_controller
- Properly starts and stops with app
- Console messages when game detected/ended
This makes the overlay truly part of the game window!
Changes:
- Plugin cards now 320x220 minimum (was 300x200 fixed)
- Cards have maximum width of 400px to prevent stretching too wide
- PluginStoreUI now fills available space with stretch factor
- Grid layout calculates columns based on available width
- Removed hardcoded margins that were causing cramped layout
- Search input now has minimum width of 300px
- Buttons have minimum widths for consistent sizing
Changes:
- EU_WINDOW_TITLE: 'Entropia Universe' -> 'Entropia Universe Client'
Now matches 'Entropia Universe Client (64-bit) PlanetName' or
'Entropia Universe Client (32-bit) PlanetName'
- EU_PROCESS_NAMES: Removed 'clientloader.exe' (launcher only)
Now only looks for 'entropia.exe' or 'entropiauniverse.exe'
This fixes the issue where the Client Loader was detected instead of the actual game.
1. Added QCheckBox to perfect_ux.py imports (was missing)
2. Fixed dashboard_view.py: Qt.QSize -> QSize (QtCore import)
These fix the NameError and AttributeError that prevented the app from starting.
Activity Bar Improvements:
- Draggable: Grab left handle to move anywhere on screen
- Resizable: Grab right handle to change width (400-1600px)
- Background Opacity: Now actually works (20-100%)
- Search toggle: Right-click menu to show/hide search box
- Clock toggle: Right-click menu to show/hide clock
- Reset Position: Right-click menu to reset to default position
- Settings dialog: Added opacity slider, width, search/clock toggles
Config additions:
- x, y: Custom position
- width: Bar width (400-1600)
- background_opacity: 20-100%
- show_search: Toggle search visibility
- show_clock: Toggle clock visibility
Bug Fixes:
- OverlayController now inherits QObject (fixes 'cannot be converted' error)
- Activity bar saves position when dragged
- Activity bar saves width when resized
Hotkey Changes:
- Ctrl+Shift+U: Now toggles Activity Bar (in-game overlay) instead of dashboard
- Ctrl+Shift+H: Still hides all overlays
- Ctrl+Shift+B: Also toggles Activity Bar (kept for compatibility)
UI Updates:
- Tray menu shows 'Activity Bar (Ctrl+Shift+U)' to indicate hotkey
- Dashboard no longer has a global hotkey (use tray icon or window)
- Updated startup messages to reflect new hotkey setup
- Plugins view now has 'Installed' and 'Store' tabs with real content
- Widgets view shows Clock, System Monitor, Skill Tracker with enable/disable
- Views embedded directly to avoid import issues
- Plugin list shows name, version, description with checkboxes
- Widget cards show name, source plugin, description, preview button
- Added debug output to diagnose why PluginsView isn't loading
- Added PluginsView and WidgetsView to core/ui/__init__.py exports
- Removed plugin_manager check that was causing fallback
- Will show console output to diagnose the issue
1. Sidebar toggle: Now uses arrows (chevron-right when collapsed, chevron-left when expanded)
2. Dashboard: Quick actions filtered to show only installed plugins
3. Plugins page: New tabs - 'Installed' (enable/disable plugins) and 'Store' (browse/install)
4. Widgets page: Now shows registered widgets from plugins with enable/disable
5. Settings page: Removed Plugin Store and My Plugins tabs (moved to Plugins page)
6. Settings: Changed 'Overlay Opacity' to 'Background Opacity' for clarity
7. Status bar: Shows plugin count, EU window status (Not Running/Running/Focused), version
8. New files: plugins_view.py, widgets_view.py with proper functionality
Changes:
- Default mode now OVERLAY_GAME_FOCUSED (Blish HUD style)
- Activity bar ONLY shows when EU window is focused
- Completely hidden on desktop and other windows
- Non-blocking focus detection with QTimer.singleShot
- Auto-disables if window detection is too slow (>500ms)
- Added Overlay Mode dropdown in Settings > General
- Options: Game Focused, Always Visible, Hotkey Toggle, Temporary, Desktop Only
Settings:
- activity_bar.overlay_mode: 'overlay_game' (default)
- Game Focused: Overlay strictly tied to EU window focus
- Import actual views from core.ui (DashboardView, SettingsView, PluginsView)
- Update _create_settings_view() to use SettingsView with full tabs
- Update _create_plugins_view() to use PluginsView with plugin management
- Keep fallback placeholders if views fail to load
- Add settings attribute to PerfectMainWindow for SettingsView compatibility
Views now show:
- Settings: General, Plugin Store, My Plugins, Hotkeys, Data & Backup, Updates tabs
- Plugins: Installed plugin list with enable/disable checkboxes
New OverlayController (core/overlay_controller.py):
- DESKTOP_APP: Activity bar only in desktop app
- OVERLAY_ALWAYS: Always visible as overlay
- OVERLAY_GAME_FOCUSED: Only when EU game window focused
- OVERLAY_HOTKEY_TOGGLE: Toggle with Ctrl+Shift+B (default)
- OVERLAY_TEMPORARY: Show 8 seconds on hotkey, then auto-hide
Changes:
- Activity bar now controlled by OverlayController
- Removed old _start_eu_focus_detection/_check_eu_focus methods
- Updated quit() to stop overlay controller
- Startup messages show current mode
Settings key: activity_bar.overlay_mode
Default: overlay_toggle
NavigationRail now supports expanded/collapsed states:
- Click menu toggle button to expand/collapse
- Expanded: Shows icon + label (200px width)
- Collapsed: Shows icon only (80px width)
- Smooth animated width transition
- Orange accent on active item maintained
NavigationDestination updated:
- Shows QLabel with text when expanded
- Icon-only when collapsed
- Proper styling for both states
Changes:
- Fixed is_focused property (was calling as method)
- EU focus detection now DISABLED by default
- Added auto_show_on_focus setting (default: false)
- Hard disable if focus check takes >1 second
- ActivityBarConfig now includes auto_show_on_focus setting
This prevents the EnumWindows blocking that was causing 4.5s freezes.
Users can manually enable in settings if they want auto-show behavior.
Problem: EnumWindows was iterating through ALL windows on system
when EU wasn't running, causing 4.5s blocking delays every 5s.
Changes:
- _find_window_by_title: 100ms timeout, 500 window limit
- _find_window_by_process: 150ms timeout, 300 window limit
- Skip empty window titles (performance)
- Slow down focus detection to 60s when EU not found 3x
This should eliminate the 2s menu + 7s click delays.
- New debug_logger.py with timing and stack trace capabilities
- Tray icon now logs all interactions with millisecond timing
- Main app startup is fully instrumented
- EU focus detection logs and warns if slow (>100ms)
- Menu interactions use QTimer.singleShot to avoid blocking
- Log file saved to Documents/Entropia Universe/Logs/
This will help identify the source of UI slowness (2s menu delay, 7s click delay)
The tray icon was blocking the main UI thread because:
1. QTimer was updating menu state every second
2. Complex stylesheet on menu may cause blocking
3. Emojis in menu items might cause encoding issues
Simplified:
- Removed update timer (no longer needed)
- Removed complex stylesheet (use default)
- Removed emojis from menu items
- Made TrayIcon inherit QWidget for proper parent
- Simplified signal connections
1. System Tray Icon (replaces floating button):
- Right-click menu with: Dashboard, Activity Bar, Settings, Quit
- Orange 'EU' icon
- Double-click to open dashboard
- Notifications support
2. Removed Floating Icon:
- No more floating button on desktop
- All interaction through tray icon
3. EU Window Focus Detection:
- Activity bar auto-shows when EU is focused
- Activity bar auto-hides when EU loses focus
- Checks every 500ms for focus changes
- Tray icon checkbox reflects activity bar state
New Files:
- core/tray_icon.py: System tray implementation
Modified:
- core/main.py: Use tray instead of floating icon, add focus detection
Usage:
- Start EU-Utility: Tray icon appears in system tray
- Open EU game: Activity bar appears automatically
- Alt-tab away from EU: Activity bar hides
- Right-click tray icon: Access settings, toggle bar, quit
The hide_timer QTimer was being created after _apply_config() was called,
but _apply_config() tries to set the timer interval. This caused:
AttributeError: 'WindowsTaskbar' object has no attribute 'hide_timer'
Fix: Move hide_timer creation to before _apply_config() call.
Complete redesign of the in-game Activity Bar:
- Transparent background (no visible background)
- Windows-style start button (⊞ icon)
- Search box with rounded corners (Windows 11 style)
- Pinned plugins expand the bar dynamically
- Clean minimal design
- System clock display
- Right-click context menu for settings
- Auto-hide functionality
- Draggable positioning
Features:
- Click ⊞ button to open app drawer
- Type in search box to find plugins
- Pin plugins to taskbar for quick access
- Clock shows current time (updates every minute)
- Right-click for settings
The bar now looks like a floating Windows taskbar
perfect for in-game overlay use.
1. Removed box-shadow CSS properties (not supported by Qt)
2. Fixed TypeError: 'QVBoxLayout' object is not callable
- Removed redundant placeholder.layout() call
- Layout was already set up correctly
App should launch without errors now.
