**Summary:**
- Add tint overlay to dim terminal windows when inactive, fixes
https://github.com/ghostty-org/ghostty/discussions/10040
- Refactor the liquid glass effect into a dedicated `TerminalGlassView`
class
Note: The tint overlay color and opacity values may not be ideal —
feedback is welcome.
**AI Disclosure:** I used Claude Code to read the macos repo and
understand the liquid glass implementation. Implemented basic tint
overlay mainly by hand. Refactor the code and review changes with Claude
Code.
Switch to using the existing UTType.unixExecutable constant for this
operator, which also lets us remove a failure path. Also, use the
completion-based setDefaultApplication() variant to handle errors.
This simplifies the code enough that we don't need the additional
NSWorkspace+Ghostty extension functions.
We already had an established Ghostty.Shell namespace (previously a
struct; now a more idiomatic enum), and locating these functions next to
each other makes it clearer how they relate to one another.
When we're building an input string that's explicitly meant to be used
as a shell command, quote (escape) it using the same logic as Python's
shlex.quote function.
This specifically addresses issues we've seen when open(1)'ing Ghostty
with filename arguments that contain spaces.

This fixes our `constrainToScreen` implementation to properly clamp the
window size to the visible screen its coming on as documented. Further,
this addresses the positioning problem, too.
Fixes#2660
Rather than calculate our window frame size based on various chrome
calculations, we now utilize SwiftUI layouts and view intrinsic content
sizes with `setContentSize` to setup our content size ignoring all our
other widgets.
I'm sure there's some edge cases I'm missing here but this should be a
whole lot more reliable on the whole.
NSScreen instances can be garbage collected at any time, even for
screens that remain connected, making NSMapTable with weak keys
unreliable for tracking per-screen state.
This changes the quick terminal to use CGDisplay UUIDs as stable
identifiers, keyed in a strong dictionary. Each entry stores the
window frame along with screen dimensions, scale factor, and last-seen
timestamp.
Rules for pruning:
- Entries are invalidated when screens shrink or change scale
- Entries persist and update when screens grow (allowing cached state
to work with larger resolutions)
- Stale entries for disconnected screens expire after 14 days.
- Maximum of 10 screen entries to prevent unbounded growth
Fixes#5256
This updates the macOS apprt to implement the `OPEN_URL` apprt action to
use the NSWorkspace APIs instead of the `open` command line utility.
As part of this, we removed the `ghostty_config_open` libghostty API and
instead introduced a new `ghostty_config_open_path` API that returns the
path to open, and then we use the `NSWorkspace` APIs to open it (same
function as the `OPEN_URL` action).
This makes it so `zig build run` can take arguments such as
`--config-default-files=false` or any other configuration. Previously,
it only accepted commands such as `+version`.
Incidentally, this also makes it so that the app in general can now take
configuration arguments via the CLI if it is launched as a new instance
via `open`. For example:
open -n Ghostty.app --args --config-default-files=false
This previously didn't work. This is kind of cool.
To make this work, the libghostty C API was modified so that
initialization requires the CLI args, and there is a new C API to try to
execute an action if it was set.
This fixes an issue where pressing the red close button in a window or
the "x" button on a tab couldn't differentiate and would always close
the tab or close the window (depending on tab counts).
It seems like in both cases, AppKit triggers the `windowShouldClose`
delegate method on the controller, but for the close window case it
triggers this on ALL the windows in the group, not just the one
that was clicked.
I implemented a kind of silly coordinator that debounces
`windowShouldClose` calls over 100ms and uses that to differentiate
between the two cases.
This is recommended for macOS Tahoe and all standard menu items now have
associated images. This makes our app look more polished and native for
macOS Tahoe.
For icon choice, I tried to copy other native macOS apps as much as
possible, mostly from Xcode. It looks like a lot of apps aren't updated
yet. I'm absolutely open to suggestions for better icons but I think
these are a good starting point.
One menu change is I moved "reset font size" above "increase font size"
which better matches other apps (e.g. Terminal.app).
