Tabbin v2.2.1 — back to classic, and drag out to open

The dock goes back to the classic coloured-note look, drops to two appearances,
and a tile can now be dragged out of the dock to open.

No data format changed, so upgrading preserves your existing notes and settings.

Added

  • Drag a tile out of the dock to open that note, where it was released. A
    "Release to open" hint follows the cursor while you drag. Released back inside
    the dock it is still a reorder, so the existing drag-to-reorder is untouched.
    Works from either screen edge.

Changed

  • The dock has two appearances instead of three.
    • classic — coloured note tiles that expand on hover. Previously clear.
    • glass — the same cards floating without a panel behind them. Previously
      bare.
    • The near-opaque panel mode is gone. It had no successor in user feedback,
      which asked for the classic look back.
  • Note windows follow the dock's appearance. Classic notes open as a solid
    sheet of the note colour with dark text; glass notes keep the dark window.
  • Settings offers Classic and Glass.

Fixed

  • Dragging a tile out of the dock did nothing. The bounds test lived in the
    renderer, comparing drag coordinates against the dock's own rect — but once
    the cursor leaves the dock window, Chromium stops delivering drag events and
    clamps the coordinates to the window, so no point outside was ever visible
    there. The decision now happens in the main process, which reads the true
    cursor position and compares it against the dock's real bounds. A window
    dropped on a second monitor opens on that monitor.
  • The right edge stopped mirroring after the mode rename. Two rules were
    compound selectors, .dock.right.clear, and renaming the plain .dock.clear
    selector never matched them, so they silently stopped applying and notes grew
    left-to-right again.
  • Active formatting was invisible in classic mode. Bold, italic and
    strikethrough were drawn in the note colour, which on a classic note window is
    the colour of the sheet they sit on. The glyph now follows the page's ink
    colour, so it darkens on the light sheet.
  • Toolbar borders, separators and hover fills were white on the classic
    sheet
    , where they read as dirt rather than as surfaces.
  • The note body ignored the classic appearance because its colour was
    hardcoded instead of following the page's ink token.

Note storage, the note editor, auto-update and the settings panel are unchanged
apart from the mode rename.

Notes

  • A dockBg from 2.1.0 or earlier is migrated on first launch rather than
    reset, so you keep the appearance you chose.
  • Auto-update still applies to the installed build only; the portable executable
    cannot replace itself.
  • Tabbin is not code signed, so Windows SmartScreen may warn you when installing
    or downloading an update.
