The latest updates and changes to FluentFlyout

Minor Update

Update 1.3.4 - v1.3.4

This update introduces a new settings management system that replaces Microsoft's built-in system with a more robust custom system. This will prevent settings from resetting every update or reinstall.

Unfortunately, the settings will reset one last time before converting to the new settings system. After v1.3.4, all settings will migrate to new versions without resetting!

Minor Update

Update 1.3.1 - QoL updates, more Customization and Bug Fixes

📝 Changelog

  • ✅ Added setting to enable/disable main media player flyout feature by @unchihugo, if you use FluentFlyout for its other flyouts. (Suggested by @havrlisan, u/epicc123)
  • 👏 Added manual light/dark mode theme switcher by @LiAuTraver. (Suggested by @Nex457 and a bunch of others)

  • 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)
  • Full Changelog: https://github.com/unchihugo/FluentFlyout/compare/v1.2.3...v1.3.0

Update 1.2.3 - 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.
