Changed

  • Granting permissions takes fewer steps. Grant Access (Settings → About, the layout editor, the Behavior tab, the
    Frost Bar) asks for the permission right away instead of opening the welcome window first.
  • After you turn on Screen Recording, Relaunch appears right where you granted it, next to Open System
    Settings
    in case you closed or denied the system prompt. After relaunching, Frost reopens the window you were in,
    also after System Settings' "Quit & Reopen".
  • An icon opened from the Frost Bar goes back about 0.75 s after the pointer leaves it (it used to wait while the
    pointer was anywhere on the menu bar), so the snowflake is back where you expect it. It stays out while its menu is
    open or the pointer rests on it.
  • Settings reopens on the tab you used last, and no longer expands the menu bar while Accessibility is missing.
  • Without Screen Recording, short text icons (a counter, a percentage) show in full. Rows in the layout editor that
    don't fit show edge fades and paging arrows.
  • The Screen Recording description mentions the purple dot macOS shows while Frost captures icons.

Added

  • While Accessibility is missing, the snowflake's menu offers Grant Access….

Fixed

  • The system permission prompt no longer lingers behind System Settings and reappears after you granted access.
  • Clicking the snowflake right after granting Accessibility opens the Frost Bar instead of expanding the menu bar.
  • Icons with live numbers, such as fan speeds or temperatures in their tooltip, keep their section reliably instead of
    being treated as a different icon every few seconds.
  • An icon its app hides and shows again (for example one that blinks for unread messages) goes back to its section
    within a few seconds instead of staying in Always Hidden.
  • The Frost Bar no longer closes, and Frost no longer rescans the menu bar, when only the Dock changes size.
