We're excited to announce DankMaterialShell (DMS) 1.2 "Spicy Miso"! This release features numerous new features and major improvements to both the DMS core and plugin system.

The next DMS release has a new type of widget and plugin, Desktop Widgets. These are little applets that live on your desktop, below your windows and above your wallpaper.

We are pre-announcing this feature to highlight the plugin ecosystem and to encourage the community to build these new types of widgets.
