This update mainly focuses on reworking the entire customization experience in optimizerDuck. A lot of things behind the scenes were rewritten to make settings feel faster, cleaner, and less disruptive to apply.


New

  • French language support
    optimizerDuck is now available in French thanks to @Robocnop in #17.

  • Live setting updates
    The Customize page now automatically updates if a setting changes outside the app, so what you see always matches your actual system state.

  • More advanced setting controls
    Added support for dropdowns, numeric inputs, and more flexible setting types. Some options that used to be simple toggles can now be configured more precisely.

Changes

  • Features to Customize
    The old Features section has been redesigned and renamed to Customize. Everything is now grouped into a simpler single-page layout that's easier to navigate and scale over time.

  • Reworked setting apply system
    A large part of the backend logic for applying settings was rewritten to make changes apply more smoothly and reliably.

Improvements

  • Less disruptive Explorer handling
    Many settings can now apply without fully killing and reopening File Explorer. optimizerDuck now handles Explorer restarts in a way that feels much closer to the native Windows behavior.

  • Fixed Shell Feed write issues
    Some Shell Feed related settings could fail or behave inconsistently because Explorer needed to close while values were being written. This process has now been handled properly.

  • Refreshed tooltips
    Tooltips now use improved spacing, smoother corners, and cleaner shadows to better match the Windows 11 style.

  • Improved toggle layout
    Toggle labels are now aligned on the left side for a cleaner and more readable layout.

Fixes

  • Fixed inconsistent tooltip text spacing.
  • Fixed progress dialogs sometimes getting stuck while applying or reverting settings.
  • Fixed opening cleanup folder paths from the Disk Cleanup page.
  • Fixed accidental multiple Apply/Revert actions caused by rapid clicking.
