0.8.0

New

• Hover styles: a new Hover page sets how a hovered tab (other than the active one) is marked: a fill, an outline (a frame around the pill or tab), an outline and fill, an underline, an underline and fill, or no mark.
  • Colour: the text colour, the accent or a custom colour.
  • Title: brightens, stays as it is, or takes the hover colour.
  • Fill strength, line width (1-8 DIPs) and line opacity, each automatic or set by hand.
  • Optional fade in and out, with its length.
  • The default looks as before.
• Settings reorganised: the Look page now holds the active tab's indicator plus chips and corner radius. The accent and strip background moved to a new Colours page.

Fixes

• Shift+click range: after the active tab changed without a click (the keyboard, follow playback, a tab added or removed), Shift+click selected a range from the tab clicked before. It now starts at the active tab.
• Selection ends on focus loss: clicking into a panel or switching to another window now clears the tab selection.
• Active tab outline: the outline on the active tab now shows whenever it is part of the selection, and goes away with the selection.
• Lost click: a press on a selected tab that was interrupted (a menu, Alt+Tab) could clear the next Ctrl+click selection.
• The keyboard focus goes back where it was when a selection ends, so auto-hide no longer stays open after one.
• Configure behind Preferences: opened from Columns UI's Layout page, the Configure dialog could open behind Preferences. It now opens in front.
• Auto-hide and Configure: an auto-hidden strip now stays shown while the Configure dialog is open.
• A press on a tab that was removed before the button came up could read past the end of the tab list. It is now dropped, and the mouse capture is always released.
