## Highlights
- **Dashboard Notes widget**: random rotation per **Dashboard Widget Instance**, configurable rotation, and multi-page notes with tear animation.
- **Terminal appearance**: per-**Connection** terminal background + transparency improvements, including separate split-pane background support. (If your terminals could talk, they’d probably ask for a color palette.)
- **UI load smoothing**: lazy-mount dashboard views so you don’t pay the “mount everything now” tax.

## 亮點
- **儀表板 Notes 小工具**：每個 **Dashboard Widget Instance** 都有隨機旋轉、可設定旋轉角度，並支援多頁筆記與「撕裂」動畫效果。
- **終端機外觀**：讓每個 **Connection** 的終端背景與透明度（transparency）更完善，包含分割終端（split pane）可分開套用背景設定。（如果終端機會說話，大概會先問你要什麼配色。）
- **介面載入更順**：延遲掛載儀表板視圖，避免一次把所有東西都掛上去。
