  • Settings > Appearance > Background image is now a picker: None or Custom image. None clears the image; Custom image opens the file browser. The Image row only shows when an image is set.
  • The background file browser shows its menu hint, and its No background image option works there.
  • Sends ui.shown once for each Core UI event when it first appears on screen, so Core can give the picker its full time (fix(mister): hold the deck exit countdown until its picker is shown zaparoo-core#1782). Adds ui_shown to the zaparoo-core client and handles it in the mock Core.
  • The screensaver no longer starts while a Core picker or confirmation is open, and the idle timer restarts when one closes.
  • frontend --version prints the version, commit, build date and channel, then exits without starting the frontend.
  • Updates docs/customization.md and docs/quickstart.md, and regenerates frontend.pot.
  • Tests in zaparoo-app settings, route_motion.rs and main.rs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a --version option that displays the app version, commit, build date, and release channel without opening the interface.
    • Added a Background image setting with None and Custom image options. Choosing None removes the background; choosing Custom image opens the image or folder picker.
  • Bug Fixes
    • The screensaver no longer starts while a picker or confirmation is active.
    • Returning from the background picker now focuses the relevant Appearance setting.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified the background image controls and documented the --version option.

…ckers shown

Settings > Appearance gets a Background image picker (None or Custom
image) so an empty or unwanted folder can be cleared, and the
background file browser shows its menu hint. The frontend now tells
Core when a Core picker is on screen (ui.shown), keeps the screensaver
from starting over one, and frontend --version prints the build and
exits.

Walkthrough

This PR adds a None or Custom image source control for background settings, reports when Core picker and confirmation views are shown, and adjusts screensaver idle handling. It also adds a --version command that prints build metadata and exits.

Changes: Background image selection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Background source settings
rust/zaparoo-app/src/background.rs, rust/zaparoo-app/src/settings.rs
Appearance settings now include a background source row. The image row appears only when a custom image or folder is configured.
Background selection and display
rust/frontend/src/settings.rs, rust/frontend/src/file_browser.rs, rust/frontend/ui/settings.slint, rust/frontend/src/route_motion.rs, rust/frontend/src/bin/snapshot.rs, docs/customization.md, rust/frontend/translations/frontend.pot
Selecting None clears a configured background image. The browser returns to the source row when no image is set and to the image row otherwise. Labels, descriptions, fixtures, tests, documentation, and translation references reflect the controls.

Core UI events and screensaver

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core UI shown-event reporting
rust/zaparoo-core/src/client.rs, rust/mock-core/src/ui_events.rs, rust/mock-core/src/handler.rs, rust/frontend/src/core_ui.rs
The frontend reports picker and confirmation events through ui.shown. Mock Core marks matching active events as shown and resets an expiry deadline when applicable.
Screensaver idle handling
rust/frontend/src/core_ui.rs, rust/frontend/src/router.rs, rust/frontend/src/route_motion.rs
The screensaver does not arm while a picker or confirmation is active. Closing one resets the idle timer.

Version command

Layer / File(s) Summary
Version output and documentation
rust/frontend/src/main.rs, docs/quickstart.md
The --version option prints version, commit, build date, and channel, then exits without starting the frontend.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

A picker or confirmation can lose some answer time after a connection interruption. This is a bounded risk, but retrying the report would make the change more reliable.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 80.95% which is sufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 21 functions across 11 files. (5 skipped: 4 unsupported, 1 too large.)

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description gives a clear summary, explains the motivation for reporting Core UI events, and identifies related tests. It does not include the required screenshots or recordings for the visible settings changes, and it omits the template checklist and test results.

Resolution

Add screenshots or recordings of the visual changes, including a 720p image and, if possible, a 240p image. Add the checklist and report whether the listed tests and required checks pass.

- Around line 270-287: Retry the `ui.shown` report for the still-visible event
when the connection reconnects; the current `model.reported` state can suppress
that retry, and simply clearing it will not work because `show` returns early
for the same event. Update the reconnect/reporting flow around `model.reported`
and `report_shown` so the active event is reported again without requiring it to
be shown anew.
