Orbit v0.8.10 — New logo, more room for Claude & no more Usage panel

New logo, more room for Claude & no more Usage panel (M53)

New logo

• Orbit has a new mark — a gradient planet with a tilted orbit and a satellite — picked from the new UI mockups.
• App icons are now generated from a single vector source (app-icon.svg), and the in-app logo is vector too: crisp at any size, and readable on the light theme.

More room for Claude

• When no file is open, the editor area shrinks to its minimum width by itself and the terminal panel — your Claude chats — takes the space. Open a file and the previous layout comes back.

Terminal

• Fixed the dark strip that could appear below the last line of the terminal (and, at other window heights, a clipped last line). Rows are now computed on the real available space, and the leftover area uses the theme background.

Scratchpad

• The scratchpad is now plain text (.orbit/scratch.txt). An existing scratch.md is renamed automatically on first use, content untouched.

File associations (Windows)

• Orbit no longer registers itself for scripts (.bat, .cmd, .ps1, .sh, .bash): double-clicking them runs them again. The installer also removes the script associations left by previous versions.

Removed

• The Usage panel (the embedded claude.ai page) and its account helpers. Claude Code's own /usage command shows your plan limits; a configurable Claude status line with the real 5-hour and weekly limits is planned.

No new dependencies — two fewer direct ones (webview2-com, windows-core) and Tauri's unstable feature dropped. Binary and installers are slightly smaller.
