Moonleaf 5.0.0

This is by far the biggest update Moonleaf has ever received.

Rather than being just a visual refresh, v5.0.0 is a complete re-engineering of the app, introducing a redesigned interface, new workflows, better organization, and many new features throughout the entire experience.

Note: This PR is intentionally large because almost every part of the application has been redesigned or rebuilt.

Highlights

  • Added Light and Dark appearance modes.

  • (Dark mode still needs some color refinement.)

  • Complete UI redesign with a cleaner, more consistent visual language.

  • Reorganized navigation with top tabs and contextual actions.

  • Wallpapers now preserve their original aspect ratio.

  • Replaced the fixed grid layout with a Pinterest-style masonry layout.

  • Wallpaper cards have been simplified, with secondary actions moved into a context menu.

  • Single-clicking a wallpaper now opens the preview instead of selecting it.

  • Added multi-selection support with an action bar.

    • Current actions: Favorite and Delete.
  • Active wallpaper now has a dedicated visual state that persists after restarting the app.


Library

The library has been redesigned to make managing wallpapers much more intuitive.

Improvements

  • Original wallpaper aspect ratios are preserved.

  • Masonry layout replaces the old fixed landscape grid.

  • Cleaner wallpaper cards.

  • Simplified actions:

    • Set Wallpaper

    • Favorite

    • More…

      • Rename
      • Export
      • Delete
  • Multi-selection with an action bar.

  • Persistent active wallpaper indicator.


Browse

The Browse tab has received one of the largest redesigns in the update.

New Features

  • Wallpapers now use their original aspect ratio with the same masonry layout as the Library.
  • Filters are now always visible instead of being hidden behind a menu.
  • Filters update immediately without requiring an "Apply" action.
  • Added color filtering.
  • Wallpapers can now be opened in the Preview before downloading.
  • Preview displays the wallpaper in full quality and fullscreen.
  • Overall layout has been reorganized to make browsing significantly easier.

Preview

The preview window has been redesigned to be both more useful and more enjoyable.

New Features

  • Choose how wallpapers fit the screen:

    • Fit
    • Fill
    • Stretch
  • Fully customizable preview clock:

    • Font
    • Size
    • Weight
    • Color
  • Download wallpapers directly from Preview.

  • Set wallpapers directly from Preview.


UI / UX

A large number of usability improvements have been made throughout the application.

Menu Bar

  • Left-clicking the menu bar icon now opens the main manager immediately.
  • The previous workflow required opening a menu before accessing the manager.

Visual Consistency

  • Unified button styles across the entire application.
  • Rounded controls are now used consistently.
  • Animated tabs.
  • Overlay controls now use Thin Material for better readability.
  • Consistent accent color across the app, including supported native controls.

Wallpaper Cards

  • Cleaner layout.
  • Wallpaper information is displayed below the preview.
  • Removed unnecessary nested containers and excessive padding.
  • Simplified actions into a compact menu.

Navigation & Organization

  • Settings can now be accessed from both the Library and Browse tabs.

  • Browse now shares the same design system as the Library instead of using separate UI components.
  • Removed version and application name from the Library view since this information already exists in the dedicated About window, reducing visual clutter.

Rebrand

Moonleaf has received its third rebrand, but this is the first one that introduces a complete visual identity.

What's New


Petalia
  • Brand-new logo and mascot designed specifically for Moonleaf.

  • New application icon.
  • A warmer, friendlier design language.
  • A cohesive visual identity that better reflects the direction of the project.

And much more...

This release includes countless smaller improvements, refinements, fixes, and quality-of-life changes that are difficult to list individually.

Overall, Moonleaf 5.0.0 transforms the application into a faster, cleaner, and significantly more polished experience while laying a stronger foundation for future development.
