v1.0.4

April 18, 2014

  • Made the gray a little darker (from #DDD to #BBB) to provide better contrast/readability on "less than amazing" screens.
• Added support for multiple monitors. When selecting a breakpoint the Chrome window will no longer jump to the primary monitor, it will use whichever monitor it is currently on.
• Added the ability to determine if the user prefers the right or left side of the screen and resize with this preference in mind (might make this a user-definable setting in the future)
