Klikka v1.1.0

Camera is now Klikka

The headline of this release is the rename: the app, the repository and the binary are now Klikka.

"COSMIC Camera" was never granted by the trademark holders, and a plain "Camera" is too generic for distro packaging — Alpine Linux asked for a non-generic name before the app could ship in aports. Klikka is that name.

What it means in practice:

• The Flatpak app ID stays io.github.cosmic_utils.camera, so existing installations keep updating as usual.
• "Camera" remains the generic name in the desktop entry, so the app still shows up where you expect it.
• The binary and the repository are now klikka — if you launch or script the app from a terminal, that is the one thing to adjust.
• The metainfo declares every previous app ID under provides and replaces.

Highlights

• Rename to Klikka — app name, binary, repository, README, desktop entry and packaging metadata (#571, #574, #576, #577)
• Accent colour for the title bar and its buttons, and the title bar stays visible while the settings drawer is open (#568, closes #565)
• Frosted glass background — the compositor's blur now shows through the window background (#572)
• Simplified settings drawer, restructured to the COSMIC section layout (#567, closes #566)
• Richer bug reports — wgpu adapter, session type and overlay effect are now recorded (#564)
• Alpine packaging — the APKBUILD is aligned with the aports submission (#562)
• Updated translations from Weblate

Thanks

A big thank you to @KodeBarista, whose suggestions shaped nearly all of the UI work in this release: the accent-coloured title bar and buttons, the drawer fixes and the simplified settings layout, and the frosted glass window background — that last one came straight out of a chat, without even an issue to go with it.
