Chimer v0.4.0

SoundDeck is now called Chimer, with a new icon and a redesigned look.
Your existing backups, custom packs, theme and language all carry over — nothing to move or re-create. The installer upgrades your current install rather than putting a second app beside it.
New colour palette, typography and app icon throughout the app and the site.
Applying a pack now plays one of that pack's own sounds when it finishes, so you hear the change instead of just reading that it worked.
The apply screen leads with the pack's cover art instead of opening on a wall of numbers.
Search fields and filter chips no longer sit in a heavy grey box.
Fixed the language row in Settings, where the description was squeezed into a one-word-per-line column.
Every text and background pairing in the app was checked for contrast; several were too faint to read comfortably and have been corrected in both light and dark mode.
As before, no administrator rights are needed, no system files are touched, and nothing is written outside your own user settings.

SoundDeck v0.3.1

The walkthrough that explains how the app works is no longer stuck behind first launch. It is now in Settings under Help, so you can open it whenever you want — it covers picking a pack, applying it, and restoring your old sounds from a backup if you change your mind.
Anyone who installed an earlier version had no way to see that walkthrough at all, since it only ever appeared on a machine that had never opened SoundDeck.
The Windows XP pack has a new cover.
Fixed a crash that could take the app down while applying a pack that silences an event or resets one to the Windows default. It only affected builds run from source, not the installer, but it aborted the whole app instead of reporting the error.
Corrected the About text, which still said the library had 28 sound schemes when it has 30.
As before, no administrator rights are needed, no system files are touched, and nothing is written outside your own user settings.

SoundDeck v0.3.0

Applying a pack now really changes your Windows sounds. Until this release the apply screen only simulated the steps and nothing was written to the system — that is fixed, and it is the main reason to upgrade.
Every apply first saves the events it is about to change, so you can undo it from the Backups screen at any time. Backups are real files now and survive restarts and updates.
If anything fails partway through, everything already written is rolled back — you never end up stuck between two packs.
After applying, the settings are read back to confirm they landed, and any mismatch is reported instead of silently claiming success.
Only sound events that exist on your machine are touched. Nothing is created for programs you do not have installed.
Custom packs can now actually be applied. They previously kept only the file name and lost the path to your .wav files, which made them impossible to apply.
Pack audio is downloaded once and reused, so applying the same pack again does not re-download it.
New: a short tour the first time you open the app, and a summary of what changed after you update.
New: the app tells you in the header when a newer version is available.
As before, no administrator rights are needed, no system files are touched, and nothing is written outside your own user settings.

SoundDeck v0.2.1

Added a support link in the header and in Settings, for anyone who wants to help keep the project going.
Fixed the About section in Settings always showing version 0.1.0 regardless of the installed version.

SoundDeck v0.2.0

Build your own pack: pick a .wav for each Windows event and save it to your library. Everything stays on your machine — nothing is uploaded.
Two new packs with the real system sounds: Windows 7 and Windows Vista, both preserved from original installs.
The classic Windows packs now use official artwork on their covers.
The app is now translated into 5 languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, German and French. It follows your system language unless you pick one in Settings.
Applying a pack now has an optional toggle to skip the backup.
Fixed pack cards where the selected and hovered states could conflict visually.

SoundDeck v0.1.0

First public release.
Browse a catalog of classic Windows sound schemes and preview every event before committing to one.
Per-event editor for swapping individual sounds instead of a whole pack.
Light and dark themes, following your system by default.
