Version 2.0.0

Major UI rework

Added

• Support for Dark and Light UI theme.

• When a file is dragged over the application window button, the application windows is activated, so the file can easily be droppped there
• Application setting InvertBlackIcons, StartupTheme, MenuPopupWidth, MenuPopupMaxHeight.
• Special application setting Language

Changed

• Removed application setting SearchResultPanelWidth

Fixed

• Fixed the inconsistency in AppUI for some pinned applications and "their" windows causing that the window button didn't "replace" the button of pinned app. Now the win32 app resolver is used also when retrieving the pinned apps if needed
• Fixed the handling of "shell targets" - installed applications having executable in form ::{guid}
• Application button autosize - ButtonMinWidthRatio of AppButtonsPanel was not bound to Settings.AppBarButtonMinWidthRatio but had a constant value 0.7, so the settings was ignored

Version 1.3.1

Fixed

• #3 Thumbnail popup in vertical mode - thumbnail popup placement is now set based on the appbar position (orientation)

Added

• Thumnbnail popup is shown with configurable delay as proposed in #3 Thumbnail popup in vertical mode

  • "merging" of the automatic and custom destinations (categories and items) updated to mirror Windows behavior

• Application settings: AllowSearch,SearchListCategoryLimit, SearchResultPanelWidth

Version 1.2.1

Added

• Logging of unhandled exceptions, so it can be possible to check in EventLog the details when the application crash
• Experimental using the undocumented win32 api to get the AppId (under feature flag UseApplicationResolver)

Fixed

• Corrections in the "visible windows" filter
• The periodical check and update of windows (buttons) is skipped when the refresh is still in progress (caused the application crash)
• Corrections to JumpList parsing - "early" recognize the issues with the structure and soft-break.
• Corrections to JumpList parsing - use known AppIds from settings when can't get the appId from link. Added Windows Terminal app to settings know app ids.
• Corrections to JumpList parsing - the "known category" type of record in custom destinations is just a "flag" not a list of links
• Some corrections in the documentation
• Exception handling in WndAndApp.GetWindowIcon when calling Imaging.CreateBitmapSourceFromHIcon
