v0.2.8 - Panel opacity, lighter WebView2, .NET 10
What's new
- Much less memory between refreshes. The hidden browser each account uses to read claude.ai is now closed 15 seconds after the last refresh, so its processes no longer sit in memory for the whole session (around 435 MB freed with four accounts).
- Panel opacity. New tray submenu
Opacity(100 / 82 / 60 / 40 / 20 / 0 %). Only the panel background changes; the dials and notices stay fully opaque. The default is the current 82 %. - Subscription plan stays current. The plan line (Pro / Max / Team) is re-read once an hour per account instead of once ever.
- Export v3. The per-account export file gains
planandavailableModels; existing readers of v2 keep working. - Tray menu above the taskbar. The right-click menu no longer opens partly behind the taskbar.
- Accounts. The sign-in window shows the account's current name, the panel stays on screen when an account is added, and the taskbar band updates immediately when accounts are added, removed or renamed.
- Reliability fix. A browser process dying in the middle of a refresh can no longer freeze that account's dials until a restart, and older WebView2 runtimes keep working.
- Runs on .NET 10 (bundled; nothing to install).
