🚀 Improvements

• Enhanced Auto-hide Mode: Improved animations, smoother transitions, and more reliable behavior during startup.
• Redesigned settings window with a cleaner tab-based interface.
• Added a dedicated Cloud settings page.
• Improved startup reliability and overall application stability.

TruckSim Widget v1.2.4 Stable

🛠 Fixes & Improvements

• Smooth Startup Animation in Minimal Mode: Fixed an issue where the widget's height would abruptly jump after the initial startup animation (intro) if the interface was set to minimal mode. The window height now adapts smoothly and naturally.
• First Auto-Hide Transition Fix: Resolved an issue where the widget would instantly turn transparent during the very first "Auto-Hide" trigger after startup. The widget now consistently transitions into the semi-transparent idle state with a smooth animation.

TruckSim Widget v1.2.3 Stable

Auto-hide Improvements & Fixes (Beta)

• Smarter Logic: The widget now correctly auto-hides when the game is closed, only appearing if there are active warnings or errors.
• Immediate Response: Toggling auto-hide in settings now triggers an immediate visual response.
• Hover Bug Fixed: Resolved an issue where hovering over the widget would permanently stop the auto-hide timer.
• Startup Fix: Auto-hide now works flawlessly on launch without requiring manual cursor movement to "wake it up".
• Smooth Animations: Fixed a visual glitch where the minimize animation would twitch or stutter on its first run.

Update Experience & Stability

• In-App Success Dialog: After a successful update, the application will no longer forcibly open the project website in your browser. Instead, a sleek success window will appear directly inside the widget, providing convenient links to our Website and GitHub repository.

TruckSim Widget v1.2.1 Stable

Fixes an issue where the displayed total job mileage remained the original planned value after an in-game route change. The widget now uses the advisor (navigation) remaining distance in real time to compute the total.

TruckSim Widget v1.2.0 Stable

🚀 Release Notes (v1.2.0)
This release focuses on massive UI/UX improvements, smoother animations, and crucial bug fixes for job tracking and state synchronization.

✨ UI/UX & Visual Polish

• Custom Dialogs: Completely removed native Windows message boxes. Update prompts and error messages now use a beautiful, fully-themed custom dialog that matches the widget's dark aesthetic.

• Smooth Animations: Added seamless fade-in and fade-out animations for both the main widget launch and the settings window.

• Redesigned Dropdowns: Replaced the abrupt native WPF dropdown behavior in the settings window with a custom, buttery-smooth slide & fade animation.

• Refined Layout: Fixed margin overlaps and eliminated height-snapping when toggling between "Full" and "Minimal" UI modes.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Job State Synchronization: Fixed a critical issue where logging out of a profile while a job was active or paused would fail to reset the widget state.

• Paused Job Resume Fix: Resolved a bug where returning to a paused delivery after relogging into a profile would cause the widget to forget the job progress and start from zero.

• Delivered Status Glitch: Fixed an issue where the game status would get permanently stuck on "DELIVERED" if the user opened the pause menu immediately after finishing a delivery.

• Opacity Slider Fix: Fixed a bug where adjusting the opacity slider only affected text elements, while the main background ignored the changes.

• Pin Icon State: Fixed an issue where the "Pin" (Topmost) icon would incorrectly display as gray on startup, even if the widget was successfully pinned.

TruckSim Widget v1.1.2 Stable

What's New in v1.1.2

This update focuses on improving the overall interface and making the main window feel cleaner and less distracting while driving.

Floating Auto-Hide Header

The window header has been moved into a separate floating overlay that appears when you hover over the top area of the widget and automatically hides when not needed. This keeps the interface minimal while still providing quick access to window controls without permanently taking up space.

Interface Improvements

• Added a new floating header overlay
• Header now appears when hovering over the top section of the widget and hides automatically when the cursor leaves
• Improved opacity handling for better readability
• Reorganized the card layout for a cleaner appearance
• Refactored window control actions and overlay behavior
• General UI polish and code cleanup

⚙️ New Settings Window

TruckSim Widget v1.0.3 Stable

🚀 TruckSim Widget v1.0.3

🔄 Built-in Auto-Updater (BETA)

Updating the widget just got a lot easier! You no longer need to manually download and extract new releases from GitHub.

⚠️ Note: The auto-update feature is currently in the testing phase and may occasionally experience unexpected behavior.

• Automatic Checks: The widget now silently checks for new versions upon startup.
• Update Interface: Added a new dedicated "Update" section inside the Settings panel.
• In-App Downloading: You can now download and apply updates directly within the widget. You'll see a real-time download progress bar and status text.
• Standalone Updater: A brand new, robust updater.exe process safely handles file replacements in the background, automatically preserving your settings.json and saved states so you never lose your configuration.

🎨 Settings UI & Quality of Life Improvements

• Smart Update Button: The update button now features color-coded states (Green for ready, Red for errors) and a smart cooldown system with a real-time countdown timer to prevent GitHub API rate-limiting.
• Donate Button: Added a quick-access "Donate" button directly in the Settings panel for those who want to support the project.
• Localization: All new update interface elements and dialogs are fully translated into both English and Ukrainian.
