Roadmap / TODO

  • Flexible Positioning: Choose any corner or center of the screen for the watermark.
  • Appearance Controls: Fine-grained sliders for opacity, font weight, and custom HEX colors.
  • Dynamic Variables: Placeholders for {distro}, {kernel}, and {uptime} in the watermark text.
  • Multi-Monitor Support: Toggle visibility independently across connected displays.
  • Style Presets: Authentically modeled presets for Windows 10/11 and classic system watermarks.
  • Non-Interactive Mode: Ensure full input click-through so it never interferes with desktop usage.
