Hannah Montana Theme

A Hannah Montana theme is now available. This can be selected from the Theme dropdown box in Settings > Appearance. Selecting it applies a purple overtone palette, and adds a fun sparkly background. Switch the Accent to Violet for greater immersion.

More Optimizations

  • Further reduced memory and CPU overhead for topic updates
  • Reduced GPU utilization on gauge and color widgets
  • Reduced model backend memory overhead
  • All dialogs are now lazy-loaded, reducing general memory footprint
  • Widgets in different tabs now have paint events disabled
  • Reduced memory overhead for color widgets

QDash has now been tested and proven to work well on as low as a Celeron 900 + iGPU, with just 1GB of RAM (<200MB free).

Other Changes

  • The macOS build now uses a layered Liquid Glass icon on macOS 26
  • Fixed color widgets not applying changes to color settings, and gauge widgets not applying changes to angle settings
  • Various improvements to design, both in QDash and Carboxyl
