v0.1.5 - Capture and title bar polish

Choose a tag to compare

@BENZOOgataga BENZOOgataga released this 24 May 03:00

Patch release. Visual polish for the capture overlay and the main window title bar.

Capture overlay

  • No more white outline. Swap the overlapped presenter for OverlappedPresenter.CreateForContextMenu, a borderless popup-style window with no NC frame for Windows to draw on.
  • Cleaner edges. New rounded shell (10 px corners + hairline border), a slim accent rail inside the rounded corners, and the TextBox now merges with the surface (no focus underline, no pointer-over background).
  • Auto-focus works. Force foreground via AttachThreadInput + SetForegroundWindow and defer Focus(FocusState.Programmatic) to the next dispatcher tick (with one retry) so the input is ready instantly when raised by the hotkey or the named pipe.

Main window title bar

  • Close button no longer stuck on red. Set the full AppWindow.TitleBar.Button*Color set (transparent normal + inactive backgrounds, subtle white tint on hover and press, consistent foregrounds) so the system caption buttons read as idle when the cursor is in the content area.
  • No launch focus ring. Reroute the first activation to ContentFrame.Focus(FocusState.Pointer) and set UseSystemFocusVisuals=False on the frame so the keyboard focus rectangle does not paint on the first nav item.

Carried over

All v0.1.4 features, including in-app update banner on launch, dev brand (Tideline Development, orange logo) for Debug builds, tideline-capture.exe shipped inside the install, and the SDK 6 Stream Deck plugin.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 1809 or later, or Windows 11, x64
  • Stream Deck app 6.5 or later (for the custom plugin)

Privacy

Local-first SQLite. The Velopack update check is the only outbound network call. No telemetry. No accounts. No cloud sync.
