  • Updated UI and text
  • 👏 Centered thumbnail image on flyouts properly
  • Made Mica effect even more reliable
  • Made "Next Up" flyout more reliable, and solved issues making it display more than once at a time

  • Workaround for startup task not changing (MSIX issue)

Minor Update

Update v1.2.3 - New customization settings and bug fixes

@unchihugo here, I appreciate everyone's support a lot! I'm still working on more flyouts (capslock, numlock, etc.) and the option to disable volume key triggers, as some of you suggested. Here's what's new so far:

📝 Changelog

  • 🐛 Improve flyout focus & topmost behavior to prevent stealing focus in PR https://github.com/unchihugo/FluentFlyout/pull/7, fixing cases of bug #5 happening (thanks @Nex457)
  • Added two new settings:
    • Alter tray icon left click behavior: choose between opening settings (default) and showing main flyout, if you would like to use the tray icon as a more integrated flyout button in the taskbar (suggestion by u/moccatune)
    • Choose between left or center title & artist alignment. Definitely try this out, it feels very clean! (suggestion by @AsvnDG)
  • Updated settings UI and text
  • Made Mica effect more reliable
  • Other bug fixes
  • Codebase related stuff:
    • Added comments in a lot of areas
    • Created WindowHelper.cs class to have things a bit more organized
  • Full Changelog: https://github.com/unchihugo/FluentFlyout/compare/v1.2.2...v1.2.3
  • tested on Windows 11, common use cases

📦 If you've installed the Microsoft Store version, you can update FluentFlyout using the .msixbundle installer as they're interchangeably compatible. It might take a few more days for the update to appear on MS Store.
