\n

\n
• Added Joomla Web Asset Manager integration with one CSS and one deferred JavaScript file.
\n

\n

Networks and actions

\n

\n
• Added 27 network and utility icons using Font Awesome 6.
\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Sharing

\n

\n

\n
• Added Native Share support with Copy Link fallback.
\n
• Added one-click Clipboard API copying with an accessible status message, an instant \"Copied!\" button confirmation, and a fallback.
\n

\n

Layouts and docks

\n

\n
• Added Inline Row, Labelled Grid, and Fixed Floating Dock layouts.
\n
• Added left-middle, right-middle, bottom-left, bottom-centre, and bottom-right dock positions.
\n
• Added mobile options to move docks to the bottom, return them to page flow, or hide them.
\n
• Added safe-area spacing and internal mobile dock scrolling without horizontal page overflow.
\n
• Added collapsible docks with a slim edge-tab toggle and optional collapsed initial state.
\n
• Added a configurable dock edge offset, including flush zero-offset placement.
\n
• Added an optional dock background panel that can be disabled for flat sticky icon bars.
\n
• Docks are moved to the page body at runtime so fixed positioning stays reliable inside animated templates.
\n
• Collapsed edge tabs pin flush to the screen edge with no leftover gap.
\n
• Side-dock tooltips open toward the page so they are not clipped off-screen.
\n

Administrator experience

\n
• Reorganised parameters into Content, Layout & Presentation, Colours & Sizing, Hover & Motion, Links & Dock Behaviour, and Advanced tabs.
