v2.6.2

Astraeus 2.6.2

New

• US Markets widget. The S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq, Russell 2000, VIX, NYSE Composite, NYSE American, the 10-year yield, gold and oil, each with a small chart and its change, plus whether the market is open, in pre-market, after hours or closed. Click it for every market at once, and add any ticker you like.
• NYSE American widget, with the index's chart for the day.
• Sports widgets: Scores and Fixtures. Follow up to three of nearly 50 leagues: football, F1 and motorsport, basketball, American football, baseball, hockey, cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, MMA, chess and more, with men's and women's competitions named as such. Scores shows live games and the latest results; scroll over it to go through them, and click it for every score with its periods and venue. Fixtures shows what's live, the latest results and what's coming up, grouped by day in your own time zone.
• Add a game to your calendar. In the Fixtures panel, Add puts a coming game in Astraeus' calendar, with no calendar account needed. It then reads Remove, to take it back out. Open its day in the calendar to see it, and remove it there too.
• Every widget opens for more. Click any widget for its details. They open smoothly, growing out of the widget. Weather opens the forecast, and stocks open their chart with the day's numbers.
• Market and score items for the pills. The regular pill can show the S&P 500. The long pill can show it too, and a live score, like "BAR 0-1 RMA". Scroll over the score to go through the games. The score item is offered while a Scores or Fixtures widget is on your Widgets page.
• Pick the pill for each place. On the desktop and when not on the desktop, choose the regular pill or the long one, in Settings or right in the long pill's editor. A regular pill on the desktop with the long one over your apps works too.
• Different long pill items when not on the desktop. Turn on Own widgets on the editor's Not on desktop tab, and the long pill keeps one set of items on the desktop and another over your apps. It's off until you switch it on.
• Right-click the regular pill to customize. It opens the long pill's editor. If neither place uses the long pill yet, it asks first.

Better

• The long pill is now the desktop pill for everyone. If you used the regular pill on the desktop, you'll see a short note about the change once, and Switch back puts the regular pill back. You can also change it any time under Long pill in Settings. If you already used the long pill, nothing changes, and with Pill on the desktop off there's still no pill on your desktop.
• The long pill's editor is tidier: the place, the pill it wears there and your undo, reset and done sit in one row along the top.
• Long panels scroll all the way down, so the last row is never cut off.

Fixed

• The theme no longer flips while the panel is open and you switch windows.

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.
