Kabuk 1.0.2

Fixes since 1.0.1.

Install

Download kabuk-setup.exe below and run it; it installs over 1.0.1 and keeps your settings. kabuk-1.0.2.zip holds the same programs to unpack anywhere (kabuk.exe --install from that folder).

New

• Volume mixer: the volume panel lists the apps playing sound, each with its own level, as Windows 11's quick settings do; a click on an app's icon mutes it.
• Thumbs on the levels: every level in the volume panel has a round thumb to hold and drag.

Fixed

• Games dropping to the desktop: with Kabuk running, a game could open and then keep falling back to the desktop. Kabuk no longer takes full-screen programs into its layout, never moves a window that went full screen, keeps game mode on when an overlay (a graphics driver's, Game Bar, a voice chat) comes up over the game, sees a game running at its own resolution as full screen, and does not rebuild the bars under a game when the resolution changes.
• Auto-hide: the bar no longer comes down whenever the mouse passes the edge (on its way to a window's tabs); the mouse has to rest there a moment. Shown, it pushes the windows instead of lying over them, and gives the room back when it slides off: the windows, maximised ones too, slide with the bar instead of jumping, and the bar itself slides at the screen's pace. It stays while one of its panels or menus is open, and Rıhtım's dock now hides too.
• Windows' taskbar flashing: Windows' own taskbar no longer flashes at the bottom of the screens as the auto-hiding bar comes and goes.
• Genie coming back: a window brought back from the bar no longer shows at its place, black, before its genie pours out; and windows that were minimised when Kabuk started (Chrome, for example) get the genie too.
• Black desktop during the genie: on some computers the desktop went black behind a window minimising or coming back, and the whole screen for a moment. The whole desktop now shows under the animation.
• Devre: with a solid bar background, the groups are filled instead of a dark strip behind the whole bar.
• Two volume icons: Explorer's own volume icon no longer appears beside the bar's volume module (a click on it did nothing).
• Bluetooth menu: the Bluetooth icon's menu opens next to the icon instead of at the screen's top-left corner. Any program whose tray menu opens far from its icon gets it moved there.
• Tray icon place: programs asking where their tray icon is get its right size.
• Tray overflow panel: a left click on one of its icons no longer closes the panel, as with a right click. It closes when you click somewhere else: another program, the desktop or the bar.
• Apps on the bar at start: the windows open when Kabuk starts no longer go missing from the bar when the bar meets the window manager a moment late, and minimising them plays the genie into the right icon.
• Responsiveness: switching workspaces no longer waits for the disk.
• Setup: installing over Kabuk while its settings are open no longer fails with "exit code: 13".

Kabuk is now open source under the Apache License 2.0.

If something goes wrong

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+End, or kabuk --restore, brings back every hidden window, the taskbar, the work area, the cursors, the screen saver and the wallpaper.
