Flylet 0.12.0

What's new in 0.12.0

New looks

• New Glass option blurs whatever is behind your pop-ups, like frosted glass (Windows 11).
• Add several photos and GIFs and rotate them every time a pop-up opens, or every 5 minutes, 30 minutes, hour or day.
• Background opacity now works with your own photos and GIFs.
• Photos now fit exactly as they look in the thumbnail and the Adjust photo window.

Media card

• The media timeline now shows whenever an app reports the song length. Apps with no timeline at all, like Edge on Windows 10, get an empty line instead of a gap.

Other

• After an update, a short note on the pop-up links to what's new, and the About page shows when a new version is available.
• Flylet now runs on 32-bit (x86) PCs.
• Flylet now uses almost no CPU when idle.
• Fixed the pop-up position in languages that use a decimal comma, a startup crash on some PCs, and switching between light and dark mode.

Flylet 0.11.2

What's new in 0.11.2

• New Use less memory setting (Settings > General > Performance). It draws flyouts with the processor instead of the graphics card, which saves about 40 MB. It's off by default, and animations may be less smooth on older PCs.
• A photo background that's an animated GIF now uses about 12-27 MB less memory.
• Fixed a memory leak where media cards kept their old windows alive.

Flylet 0.11.1

What's fixed in 0.11.1

• Flylet no longer closes when music plays in an app running as administrator, such as foobar2000 opened from its installer. Before this fix, the media flyout also stopped showing until that app was closed. (#1)
• If one media app's info can't be read, Flylet now skips that app instead of closing, and the other apps keep working.
