This update introduces lots of new features, like matching UI elements to the album cover colors! We also have a new, refreshed icon for FluentFlyout! (read more here) 🎉 Thanks to everyone for your continued support and feedback <3

📝 Changelog

New settings:

• 🎨 Use Album as Accent Color — Added a new option to use the dominant color of the current album art as the accent color for certain UI elements like the Taskbar Visualizer and the Media Flyout's play/pause button, in Settings > System.
• 🖥️ Lock Keys Target Monitor Selection — Added options to choose which monitor to display the Lock Keys flyout on; including options to show it on the monitor with the mouse cursor or active window, in Settings > Lock Keys Flyout.
• 🖱️ Visualizer Click Action — Added an option in Settings > Taskbar Visualizer to directly open the Visualizer settings page when clicking the Taskbar Visualizer.
• ⚙️ Advanced Settings & Legacy Taskbar Positioning — Added a new Settings > System > Advanced Settings page and introduced a setting to use legacy taskbar width calculation. This allows for better compatibility when using taskbar mods like WindHawk or Start11.

Other updates:

• Updated FluentFlyout icon in settings, tray and throughout the app to use the new, refreshed icon.
• Improved the reliability of media flyout triggers by updating how it detects media/volume key presses. This fixes issues where the Media Flyout wouldn't pop up for media keys on some machines.
• Optimized and improved media flyout and taskbar widget performance by optimizing thumbnail updates.
• Updated taskbar widget theming to accurately match the Windows system theme instead of the app theme to prevent mismatched theming issues.
• Premium labels are now colored with the Windows accent color.
• Fixed a bug where the Taskbar Visualizer would freeze after changing audio input/output devices if the device wasn't properly initialized by Windows
• Fixed an issue where settings were lost after shutting down or safely quitting the app by ensuring settings are saved during the cleanup process

📝 Changelog

New settings:

• 🔊 Audio Visualizer Peak Threshold — Added a new option in Settings > Taskbar Visualizer to adjust how loud audio must be for the bars to reach their maximum height. If you tend to play media loudly or softly, you can try adjusting this setting.

Other updates:

• Improved compatibility with other third-party apps that modify how the taskbar works like WindHawk and ExplorerPatcher by improving taskbar widgets handling
