🖊️ Pen 11 v2.0.0 — The Ultimate Screen Annotation Engine for Windows 11

A high-performance, ultra-lightweight, and completely free screen annotation tool optimized specifically for Windows 11.

✨ What's New in v2.0.0

🎬 60 FPS Fluid Animation Suite

  • Smooth Toolbar Collapse / Expand: Toggle into a clean, minimal floating pill containing only the unhide button (🙈) and drag handle using QPropertyAnimation (InOutCubic, 240ms).
  • Non-Blocking Opacity Fades: Floating sub-toolbars (Color Palette, Shapes Menu, Cursor Options) fade in and out smoothly (InOutSine 150ms) with zero visual stutter or layout fighting.

🪟 Modular Floating Sub-Toolbars & Drag Persistence

  • 12-Color Floating Palette: Quick access to 12 curated swatches with long-press nib width adjustments.
  • Geometric Shapes Menu: Instant access to Lines, Arrows, Rectangles, Rounded Rectangles, Ellipses, and Triangles.
  • Intelligent Drag Synchronization: Attached sub-toolbars glide smoothly when dragging the main toolbar, and remember customized screen coordinates independently.
  • Monkey Mode State Machine: Switch effortlessly between Active Ink (🐵), Cursor Pass-Through (🐒), and Minimal Collapsed Pill (🙈).

📐 Smart Objects & Pure Vector Selection

  • Oriented Bounding Box (OBB) Engine: Pure vector strokes track their geometry during centroid rotation, scaling, and dragging.
  • Gesture Hold Snapping: Hold your pen for 400ms at the end of a stroke to auto-snap into perfect geometric shapes.
  • Shift-Constrain: Hold Shift while drawing for 1:1 square/circle aspect ratios or 45° angle snapping.

💾 Performance & System Efficiency

  • 50,000-Stroke Vector Capacity: Draw infinitely with zero raster degradation.
  • 5,000-Step Undo Stack: Full undo/redo confidence with capped memory overhead.
  • Near 0.0% Idle CPU Usage: Respects your laptop battery and background resources.
  • Single-Instance IPC Guard: Prevents duplicate background processes or hotkey conflicts.
