[1.6.0] - 2026-03-18

Added (Windows)

  • Windows support — native WPF system tray app with the same features as the macOS and Linux versions
  • Inno Setup installer — DexBarSetup.exe with Start Menu shortcuts, optional desktop shortcut, optional launch-at-startup
  • Auto-update — checks appcast-windows.xml every 4 hours; balloon notification with one-click install
  • Glucose chart — custom-rendered chart with 3h/6h/12h/24h range selector
  • Time in Range — stacked bar with 2d/7d/14d/30d/90d range selector and GMI display
  • Modern tray icon — auto-fitted glucose number with rounded background badge
  • Dark theme settings — tabbed settings window (Account, Display, Alerts, About, Disclaimer)

Changed

  • Release workflow now builds a Windows installer (Inno Setup) instead of a standalone zip

Fixed

  • Fixed FluentWindow backdrop crash (ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar error) by migrating to plain WPF Window
  • Fixed popup window instantly closing on tray icon click (deactivation guard)
  • Fixed chart not rendering (UserControl.OnRender drawing behind template background)
