KiwiDesk 0.9.9

Highlights

Refined window behavior, mouse resizing in Track layout, and polish across Settings and the bars.

Windows and layout

• Apps that hide stay out of your way. Closing an app like Discord or Spotify that keeps running in the background no longer leaves a ghost tile in your layout.
• Mouse resizing in Track mode. Dragging borders between track columns or windows in the Track layout now resizes them smoothly, matching the keyboard shortcuts.
• Shrinking stops cleanly at minimum size. Shrinking windows no longer risks tripping into an unexpected full-screen cascade when reaching minimum dimensions.

Bars and Settings

• Bars name the active window. The App Bar and Space Bar now show the title of the specific document or window you are on rather than only the application name.
• Minimizable Settings. The KiwiDesk Settings window can now be minimized from the title bar like any standard Mac window.
• Palette duplicate notices. Adding a color already in a palette now clearly explains that the duplicate is skipped.

Also

Smoother title updates, accessible names for App Bar controls, and automatic migrations for saved configuration profiles.
