Appearance Studio has been rebuilt, after someone tried it for the first time
and could not tell what any of its controls did.

Changed

Every option now shows you what it does. Colours, edges, spacing and
typefaces are chosen from small previews of your actual panel, rather than
from words like "Soft" and "Subtle" that only make sense once you already know
what they mean. Whatever you pick also explains itself on the page.

Surface and Glass depth are now one "See-through" slider, from Solid to
Clear. They were two controls for the same thing, and Glass depth ran
backwards — turning it up gave you less glass. It was also greyed out unless
Surface was set to Glass, which looked like something was broken.

Reveal speed tells you the actual time, so Calm and Snappy are 364 ms and
182 ms rather than adjectives.

New

  • Typeface — Default, Rounded, or Mono for the whole panel.
  • Accent palette — ten accent colours in one click, alongside the colour
    picker.
  • Tint wash — an optional fade of your accent colour down the panel.
  • Drop shadow — on or off.

Nothing you have already set up changes. Saved themes keep the look they were
saved with, and a fresh install looks exactly as it did before.

Installing

Open the disk image and drag FlowState to Applications, replacing the older
copy. macOS asks once to confirm an app downloaded from the internet — that is
normal for anything not from the App Store.
