DeskMat v1.3 (2026.03.30) contains the following new features, improvements and bug fixes:

= NEW FEATURES =
- New Cover Style: As an alternative to covering your entire Desktop, you can now choose individual files (or types of files) to hide or show instead
- DeskMat is now Apple Script-able: toggle the cover, switch between full cover and individual files, and control desktop widget visibility

= IMPROVEMENTS =
- You can now double-click DeskMat's app icon to toggle its cover - perfect, too, for using it from your Dock
- You can now access to the files on your Desktop when DeskMat is active from the button's contextual menu. This menu is hidden from sharing, so most screen capturing apps will not see it, keeping your files private (please test with the sharing app of your choice first)

= BUG FIXES =
- Fixes an issue where sometimes DeskMat's extensions wouldn't work correctly
- Fixes a crash that could occur when opening DeskMat's settings
