SnapBuddy 0.9.0

The full redesign, on every surface.

Appearance

  • Light theme and dark theme, with a system option that follows Windows. Dark stays the default;
    nothing changes until you choose.
  • Six accent colours: blue, indigo, teal, slate, violet, magenta. Pick them in Settings under
    Appearance. Every colour pair was measured against WCAG 2.2 AA in both themes.
  • Inter is the app's typeface, bundled with the app. Numbers use tabular figures everywhere, so
    timers and durations stop jittering.
  • Real icons replace the old emoji glyphs across the board, the recorder, the settings and the
    editor. Status selects use plain words; the colour cue lives on the badges.

The annotation editor

  • The thirteen tools regroup into Mark, Hide and Sequence, with Move standing alone. The Hide
    band (redact, blur, pixelate) is visually set apart: those tools change what leaves your
    machine, and now they look like it.
  • Keyboard order follows the groups, and the unsaved-work dialog returns focus correctly.

Recording

  • The pill shows what it is recording (screen, window or region) and says PAUSED in words, not
    colour alone.
  • Discard now needs a hold, so a slip of the mouse cannot destroy a take. Stop stays a single
    click.
  • The consent warning beside System audio wraps properly and remains exactly as blunt as before.

Fit and finish

  • Every window proves itself at its real size, including the 460x560 recorder and the 720x520
    board minimum.
  • Shortcut chords like Ctrl+S no longer trigger in-app captures over the OS shortcut.
  • Small "i" markers explain the few controls whose labels cannot carry everything, without
    replacing any warning.
  • Motion is subtle, consistent, and switches off entirely under Windows' reduced-motion setting.
