Finder-Win v1.5.0

Finder-Win 1.5.0

✨ New

• New default look: glass – the title bar, toolbar and tabs sit on one translucent, blurred plate and the list shows through it as you scroll. The status bar, menus, context menus, the command palette, tooltips and toasts are glass too; dialogs blur what is behind them. The sidebar reaches under the window buttons, with a soft gradient and a grey selection; blue is kept for selected files.
• Window transparency – More → Appearance → Transparency: On / Off (default Off) and Transparency strength: Subtle / Medium / Strong (default Medium). The whole window becomes transparent – sidebar, list, top bar and status bar – so the desktop and other windows show through. Content scrolling under the top bar stays blurred. Also in the command palette (Ctrl+K).

🔧 Changed

• Smoother scrolling in long lists.
• Readability – text contrast meets WCAG AA over white, green and busy wallpapers at every transparency strength.
• The 1.4.2 look can no longer be switched on.

🐛 Fixed

• The app stopped responding after pressing the Alt key on its own (or F10).
• The colour tag palette in the context menu was too narrow; submenus are wider.
