@github-actions github-actions released this 27 Jul 21:08

A release about things that were wired to nothing: a theme that stopped at the commit graph, menu entries with no action behind them, and three panels that could not be scrolled or reached.

Added

Open a repository in an external terminal or file manager. Both entries were in the main menu, bound to empty actions, advertising Alt+T and Alt+O shortcuts that had never been registered. They work now. The terminal is the one picked in Settings, falling back to whichever is installed, and the working directory is passed explicitly where the emulator supports it — inheriting it is unreliable for the ones that talk to a background server.

Your Gravatar photo in Git settings. The same photo the commit history shows, resolved from your git email, with a note that it lives on Gravatar rather than in GitBox and a link to manage it there.

Tooltips on the filter toggle and the sync counters. The ahead/behind arrows had none at all — an arrow and a number do not say what they count — so one tooltip now names how many commits there are to pull and to push.

Fixed

The commit graph follows the active theme. No built-in theme declared a graph palette, so all of them fell back to the same one and the graph looked identical under Dracula, Nord, Monokai and the rest. Each theme now carries its own, drawn from its own identity; GitBox Dark keeps the colours it shipped with, and GitBox Light gets darker, saturated lanes, because the neon ones tuned for a #1E1E1E background wash out on white. A theme with no palette of its own — a community import, or a copy made before this — now falls back by theme type rather than to one dark-tuned set. Editing a graph colour in the Appearance editor recolours the graph without a reload.

Off-branch commits, the dot outline and the merge glyph are themed too. They were hardcoded greys and whites, and drew a bright halo around every dot on any background that was not near-black.

The title bar stays usable while a dialog is open. The dialog backdrop covers the whole window, and that included the drag region and the minimize, maximize and close buttons — so with a dialog open, the window could not be moved or closed. The bar now sits above the backdrop, dimmed but working, and ignores clicks on the tabs beneath: switching repository under an open dialog would have re-aimed it at a different repo.

The AI commit analysis keeps its headings in your language. Asked only to answer in another language, every provider still copied the English headings out of the prompt, so the analysis came back with English titles over translated text. The headings are now sent already translated.

A blank tab no longer leaves the previous repository loaded. The path stayed behind it, so the menu's terminal and file-manager entries and the sync actions all acted on a repository the tab was not showing.

Settings return to the top when you switch sections. Every section shares one scroller, so a short section opened already scrolled past its own heading.

The keyboard shortcuts sheet scrolls. The list runs past the dialog, and the rest of it could not be reached.

The sidebar and the history filter bar use the same filter icon. They were two different glyphs for the same feature.
