What changed in v2.0.1

Settings adds design rotation, per-theme picks, an optional bar icon and media controls; `explorePanel` opens the new picker. Text fields stop reading the clipboard; the code editors keep undo and redo but require an external editor for pasted snippets.

Also: A side panel, nine designs, theme-specific picks, an owner message and media controls arrive; Qt 6.12 colors and repeated locking on Quickshell 0.3.2 work again. Plugin fields and editors lose native paste.

v2.0.1 for Omarchy 4. Update with `omarchy plugin update io.github.sirjul1337.lock-explorer && omarchy restart shell`.

New things you can do

Enable `setFollowTheme on`; `setDesignForAll <id>` chooses one design for all themes and clears remembered picks.

AddedRestore a chosen lock screen design automatically when you switch Omarchy themes.

Choose `setRotateDesigns lock`, `day` or `off`; this rotates the lock screen, separately from boot rotation.

AddedRotate favorite lock screen designs each time you lock or on the first lock of each day.

Set with `setOwnerMessage` or Settings; an empty value clears it. The Settings field no longer reads clipboard changes in v2.0.1.

AddedShow a contact message on every lock screen design for whoever finds the computer.
