v2.6.0

Astraeus 2.6.0

New

• The long pill. A long pill for your desktop with the widgets you pick, including new RAM and GPU ones. Right-click it to arrange it on any edge, stuck or floating. Turn it on under Long pill on the desktop in Settings.
• Regular pill or long pill when not on desktop. Keep the long pill for the desktop and let the regular pill take over on top of your apps, or keep the long one everywhere. It's a switch in Settings and a choice in the pill's editor.
• A different theme when not on desktop. The desktop and your apps can each have a whole theme of their own: look, accent, background, blur and opacity. Each of Astraeus' two themes matches HaloBar's when one follows the other.
• The Clear look, and glass tints. Clear has icons that turn black or white to suit what's behind them, and a panel tinted by your wallpaper. Glass can be tinted dark, white or any color.
• Stay up in fullscreen. An advanced option, off by default, that keeps an always-shown pill over fullscreen apps. Clicking it opens the panel, or turn that off for only the pill. Exclusive fullscreen games still cover it.

Better

• Long pill settings are at the top of Advanced, with no long scroll to them.
• Sliders stop with their knob inside the track at both ends.

Fixed

• The long pill could freeze after you finished editing it.
• The Window widget no longer says "Program Manager" on the desktop.

Note

The executable is not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show an "unknown publisher" warning the first time. Click More info → Run anyway.
