New in Beta Build 1.7.4

  • A guide on the first start: the first time you open ChatDock, five short animated steps show how it works: the screen edge, the hotkey, pop-ups, games and logging in. Each scene uses your own apps, hotkey and dock side. See it again any time: right-click the tray icon → How to use.
  • Game mode: while a game or a video fills the screen, pop-ups wait instead of covering your game (and while the PC is locked). When you leave it, one card shows who wrote and what; click a name to open that chat. Switch it on in the tray menu (Game mode) or in Settings → Notifications. Switching it on opens a short animated explainer.
  • Facebook's own logo (the blue "f") instead of Messenger's.
  • Smoother: the highlight glides to the app you pick, and unread numbers pop when they go up.

Fixed

  • Facebook's number counts chats only. It also counted Facebook's likes, comments and friend requests. And when its tab title briefly lost the number, the whole number could come back as new, with a "new message" pop-up. It now shows the unread chats from its chat list.

Install

Already have ChatDock? Press Update when the update pop-up comes (or Check for updates in Settings → Updates). From an Electron version (1.4 or older), the installer replaces the old copy by itself and keeps your logins.

New here? Download ChatDock_1.7.4_x64-setup.exe below and run it. The installer isn't code-signed with a Windows certificate, so SmartScreen may warn: choose More info → Run anyway.
