Release Notes - v1.7.0

CyberSnap v1.7.0 is a major release introducing brand-new official high-resolution application icons, a streamlined screen capture toolbar experience, a redesigned capture context menu, and significant performance optimizations across the entire capture and UI pipeline.

Highlights & Key Features

  • Official High-Resolution Icons & Alpha Transparency:

    • Updated all window, taskbar, and tray icons with multi-resolution 32bpp alpha icon assets ranging from 16px to 256px.
    • Implemented crisp 32-bit alpha icon creation in the Windows System Tray without dark halos or artifacting on transparent backgrounds.

  • Capture Toolbar & Help Button Redesign:

    • Replaced the previous branding watermark with an elegant circular question mark help button (?) positioned with pixel-perfect centering between the drag grip and the first tool button.
    • Expanded the question icon's interactive hit target with smooth hover illumination and quick-start guide trigger, while restricting toolbar dragging strictly to the dedicated grip handle.

  • Integrated GIF & Video Recorder Hold-to-Switch Flyout:

    • Consolidated the standalone GIF button into a sleek, floating hold-to-switch alternate option on the Video Recorder button.
    • Quick-click activates primary MP4 video recording, while holding/hovering smoothly reveals the GIF recording alternate option.

  • Categorized Capture Context Menu:

    • Redesigned the capture mode right-click context menu with two clear sections: Capture and Tools.
    • All capture actions (Area Capture, From Center, Scroll Capture, Fullscreen, Screen Recorder MP4/GIF) and tools (OCR, QR & Barcodes, Color Picker, Ruler) are directly accessible from the canvas.
    • Updated the exit actions with an intuitive Back navigation item and a red X (close) icon for cancelling.
    • Cleaned up tool button right-click menus and removed redundant exit confirmation dialogs for a seamless contextual menu.

  • Performance & Architecture Optimizations:

    • Streamlined the screen capture pipeline by removing thread sleep delays.
    • Made window detection fully asynchronous on overlay startup, eliminating disk I/O bottlenecks.
    • Cached system dark mode lookups with UserPreferenceChanged events.
    • Refactored standalone tool banners to a lightweight layered window architecture.

  • UI & Polish:

    • Polished the About window layout for a clean, scrollbar-free presentation.
    • Unified bilingual English and Spanish localization strings across all newly added and updated components.
