New
- Help page: every setting of every page, tab titles, title formatting and searching, with examples. Help or F1 in Configure opens it at the section for the page shown; Help beside a tab's title (Tabs page, Rename) opens it at titles and title formatting. It is installed with the component.
- Pinned tabs: pin a tab to the start or the end of the strip from the tab menu or on the Tabs page. Pinned tabs stay in view when the other tabs overflow into the chevron. A pinned tab without an icon shows a pin unless Show a pin on pinned tabs is off (Look page or the Appearance menu).
- Show only if (Tabs page): a tab can be in the strip only while title formatting for the playing track gives some text, a video tab for videos only, say.
- Tabs that follow playback can also switch On every new track, and Only if takes title formatting for the new track, or for the track that stopped: the switch happens only if it gives some text. When several tabs want the switch, one with a condition wins.
Changed
- Configure and the Appearance menu use one wording, with shorter labels (Thickness, Rotate titles on side strips, Padding before/after and above/below, Stay after a switch...). The Input page is grouped into Mouse and Keyboard.
- The indicator, accent and background lists are in a natural order (Underline, Pill, Tab, Outlined tab, Text only; Custom colour last). Your settings stay as they are.
- The Appearance menu is grouped like the Configure pages: Fill strength is under Active tab, in place of Accent strength, and Show every tab as a chip and Show a pin on pinned tabs are check items.
- Faster strip layout with many tabs.
Fixed
- Clicking a tab or the strip brings the keyboard focus into the container, so Ctrl+Tab switches its tabs even after an Enhanced Playlist Tabs element had the focus.
- A panel shown by a tab switch is painted at once (foo_vis_avs sat still after a switch).
- OpenLyrics in a Columns UI tab no longer stays empty until the panel area changes size.
- Configure: a tab removed from the container while the dialog is open no longer makes preview and OK apply to the wrong tabs.
- Outlined tabs show the hover wash like the other indicators.
- Titles while nothing plays:
$meta(),$info()and the like give nothing instead of[UNKNOWN FUNCTION]. - Fonts page: Default shows an 8 pt Columns UI font as 8 pt, not 8.3.
