Quick Dial NG 0.4.1
First version on addons.mozilla.org.
- Themes: Classic and Anori built in; save, export and import your own.
- New tile styles: glass and blur, shadows, hover effects, title fonts, titles over the picture.
- Accent colour for the settings windows.
- New monochrome toolbar icon that follows Firefox's light or dark theme.
- Refresh loads the page in a sandbox, so none of its scripts run.
Quick Dial NG 0.4.0
- Themes. Settings has a new Themes tab that changes the whole look of the dial at once: background color, page margin, tile and title styles and the accent color. A theme never touches your background picture, rows and columns, tile shape or tiles. Choose Use to try a theme in the settings; Apply or OK puts it on the dial, Cancel keeps your look.
- Two built-in themes: Classic (the original look) and Anori, inspired by the Anori browser extension: a deep-green page, frosted-glass tiles with large rounded corners, soft shadows and titles over the pictures.
- Make your own: Save current as theme…, Export… any theme to a
.jsonfile and Import theme… files from others. Backups now include your themes. - New style settings: background opacity and glass blur for tiles and titles, tile shadows, hover effects (smooth, lift or grow), title font, bold titles and titles over the picture.
- New Accent color (Settings › Page): buttons, switches, tabs and focus rings in Settings, Properties and the dialogs follow it, in light and dark mode.
- New screenshots in the README.

Quick Dial NG 0.3.5
- New look for Settings and tile Properties, in light and dark (follows Firefox's theme): tabs with clear sections and explanations, a live preview of the tile style in the Tiles tab, image previews that follow the Fit setting, drag-and-drop or paste (Ctrl+V) for pictures, and an Apply button that lights up only when there are unsaved changes.
- New bookmark, New folder and Delete open in-page dialogs instead of browser prompts; New bookmark checks the address.
- Quick Dial NG is now Firefox's home page: it opens directly when Firefox starts and from the Home button (the start tab loads about 1.3 s sooner). This replaces the "Start page delay" setting, which turned blank tabs into the dial after a timer and also caught blank tabs opened on purpose. When this update installs, Firefox asks once whether to keep the new home page; to use another page later, go to Firefox Settings › Home.
- Fixes: an error when changing rows or columns in Grid settings; folder pictures that could be saved in a form the dial couldn't show.

Quick Dial NG 0.3.4

Quick Dial NG 0.3.3
- Start page / home page: no white flash on startup. The page shows your background colour right away and draws the tiles as soon as settings are loaded, instead of after a 500 ms retry.

Quick Dial NG 0.2.0
First Quick Dial NG release, a fork of Quick Dial by MatMoul.

- Data from the original Quick Dial is migrated automatically.
