A new face, and a quieter update.

New icon

SpaceSharp has a new mark: an amber block with a cube carved out of its front corner, drawn in isometric with nothing behind it. It replaces the nine-cell tile everywhere: the window and taskbar icon, the start screen and About, the installer, the README, the website. The carve is shallower at small sizes so it stays legible at 16 px.

Setup.exe and Update.exe now show a proper splash while they work: a Graphite card with the mark, the wordmark and a moving amber sweep, instead of the bare icon on white.

Fixes

  • Updates apply silently. No more stock Windows "Installing Update" box with a blue i. The app closes, the files are swapped, and the new version opens a few seconds later; the update dialog says "Restarting into 1.6.1" once the download is done. You will see the old box one last time on this update, since 1.6.0's code is doing the installing.
  • What's new covers what you skipped. Updating from 1.4.0 used to show only the newest notes. The window is now "What's new since 1.4.0" and lists every release in between, and See all changes opens the full changelog.
  • Installer pages read properly again. The welcome and finish pages have their paragraphs back, and the finish page now says the right thing: F1 opens About, where the keyboard shortcuts are; the gear button or Ctrl+, opens Settings.

Downloads

File For
