Hi again!

Sorry this took so long - life got in the way and I got a bit sidetracked adding more features than this "minor" update really deserves. Regardless, here you go!

Release 3.1 improves upon Release 3 by addressing some of the more egregious bugs that snuck their way in. There are also some performance enhancements as I went through and refactored everything. Seriously, RoundedTB started off as a tiny proof-of-concept months ago and I just sorta piled a load of code on top of it, so it certainly needed a tidy up. Don't worry though, there's a couple of new things to try out in this version too!

New features

  • The option to have the taskbar "fill" when a window is maximised (or when alt+tab or the Task Switcher is invoked if you're on Windows 11)
  • The ability to summon the app's settings pane by re-opening it from Start
  • The option to have the tray show only when you're hovering over it
  • Automatic detection for when the taskbar "overflows" in dynamic mode, and switching back to basic mode as a result

Known issues

  • When initially enabling dynamic mode with centred taskbar icons, the taskbar may stretch to the left. If this happens, just set the taskbar to left-aligned then back to the centre once and it should be fixed.
  • Autohiding is not supported and may lead to a lot of flickering, especially with TranslucentTB compatibility or dynamic/split mode enabled.
  • Rounded corners are not antialiased (smooth) due to a Windows limitation.
  • Dynamic mode/split mode only work correctly when the taskbar is horizontal at the top/bottom of the screen.
  • Split mode on Windows 10 only supports the main taskbar, secondary taskbars will not be split.
  • When using dynamic mode, the taskbar may occasionally become too large, too small or not update. This can usually be fixed by moving a window to or from that monitor, or briefly changing the taskbar alignment.
  • Compatibility with taskbar mods outside of TranslucentTB is not currently guaranteed.

Thanks!

Thank you so much for using RoundedTB! Honestly it's been such a joy to have a project like this to work on, and all of you have made it happen! Especially thanks to the incredibly generous peeps who have sponsored me - you have no idea how much that means to me 💙💙💙

If you run into any bugs or issues with these new features, make sure to let me know here on GitHub or in the Discord server so I can resolve them as quickly as possible.
