0.4.0

Fenn 0.4.0

Nook is now Fenn: new name, new icon, new home at fenn.click.
This update installs over Nook 0.3.0. Your settings, notes, clipboard history and plugins come with you, and old nook:// plugin links still work.

New

• Settings window: every setting in one place, with a live preview of the notch for Appearance and Motion. It's a normal window you can resize and Alt+Tab to.
• Change your shortcuts: every shortcut can be changed or turned off in Settings → Shortcuts.
• Notch shape: Settings → Appearance → Notch → Shape → Notch makes it hang from the top edge like a real hardware notch.
• Keep windows below it: an option that stops maximized windows (and browser tabs) from going under the closed notch.
• Media player page: click the media tile for a large cover, a seek bar, previous / play-pause / next and a volume slider.
• Readable on any background: the glass gets more solid on its own when a white (or, in the light theme, a dark) page sits behind the notch, so text stays readable. This works open and closed. The taskbar keeps your own opacity.
• Python and Node for plugins: if a plugin needs Python or Node and your PC has neither, Fenn downloads its own private copy. No admin rights needed, and your system and PATH stay as they are.
• Taskbar: drop to pin: drop a shortcut, app or file on the taskbar to pin it.
• Taskbar: Start opens in the center when its button is in the middle, like Windows. Search does too.

Fixed

• Shortcuts no longer block AltGr characters. Ctrl+Alt shortcuts used to block @ on German, Spanish and Turkish keyboards, and ć, ł, ś on Polish ones.
• Alt could get stuck "down", so every Space opened search.
• Quitting could freeze and leave a white or light-blue bar across the screen. Quit now hides everything first. If Fenn ever stops responding, starting it again replaces the stuck copy.
• The notch could stay open after the mouse left it.
• The clock was backwards on Arabic, Persian, Hebrew and Urdu Windows.
• Volume and brightness sliders moved in steps and jumped back after letting go.
• "Show hidden icons" overlapped the taskbar icons when the bar was full. They now open in a flyout.
• The tray menu opened and closed again on click, and took too long to open on hover.
• Smoother opening: the panel's contents start appearing sooner, so there's no moment of empty glass.

Windows 10

• The taskbar uses solid glass instead of live blur, which lagged on Windows 10.
• The notification button now opens Action Center (Win+A).
• The taskbar's pieces and panels each get the same soft highlight along their top edge as the notch.
