v0.5.1 — Liquid Glass HUD + dismiss controls

Choose a tag to compare

@hoangperry hoangperry released this 20 May 15:26

Liquid Glass adoption + explicit dismiss controls for the result HUD. No more popups that feel stuck on screen.

What's new

  • Liquid Glass background — On macOS 26 Tahoe the HUD and Preview panels use .glassEffect(in:). Older systems get the existing .regularMaterial look as a graceful fallback.
  • X close button on the loading / result / error HUD — tap to dismiss instantly.
  • Click anywhere outside the panel to dismiss — global mouse-down monitor watches for clicks in other apps and hides the HUD.
  • Stable display preserved — the auto-hide timer (8s result, 6s error) is still the safety net. No focus-loss auto-dismiss that could surprise you mid-read.

Why

"tôi nhớ AppKit của Mac mới nhất là Liquid design mà sao mở app lên không có. Với lại popup nên có nút tắt để user tắt sớm, hoặc bấm ra ngoài để tắt. Nhưng đảm bảo nó phải hiển thị ổn định."
