@github-actions github-actions released this 25 Sep 17:21

What's New

  • Pinned dock apps now mirror your Windows taskbar — same apps in the same order, including File Explorer, Discord-style apps and Store apps
  • The notch's system tray button now opens the native Windows hidden-icons flyout, right below the notch
  • The startup animation now plays on every launch, with the notch and dock appearing together right after it
  • Right-clicking a dock icon now opens its menu above the dock, centred on the icon, instead of at the mouse
  • Quit in the dock's right-click menu now ends the app like Task Manager's End task

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed uninstalling not working from Windows Settings and from Nectar's Settings — Nectar was overwriting the installer's uninstaller with a copy of itself, so "uninstall" just relaunched Nectar; it can now also uninstall itself if an update ever replaces the uninstaller
  • Fixed uninstalling an all-users install appearing to succeed while removing nothing — it now asks for administrator permission and removes everything, retrying and logging anything it can't delete
  • Fixed "Launch Nectar" after an all-users install starting Nectar as administrator
  • Fixed the Uninstall button in Settings only saying "Couldn't Start Uninstaller" — it now shows the actual reason
  • Fixed scrollbars appearing in the uninstaller's feedback screen, and the white flash when the installer or uninstaller opened
  • Fixed Nectar not appearing in the Start menu — its shortcut was being created in the wrong folder
  • Fixed Windows Settings and other Store apps showing a blank or generic icon in the dock, and the Settings gear being larger than the other icons
  • Fixed Nectar's own Settings window using a different icon size than the Start button
  • Fixed running apps showing their file name (e.g. "taskmgr") instead of their real name (e.g. "Task Manager")
  • Fixed the dock briefly appearing at the left of the screen before moving into place
  • Fixed the taskbar staying broken after the first time you quit Nectar
  • Fixed the dock and notch lingering on screen over the restored taskbar while quitting
  • Fixed restarting Nectar showing the taskbar, dock and notch all at once
  • Fixed window minimize animations flying toward a far corner of the screen while Nectar is running
  • Fixed a lone dot sitting in the middle of the screen while the startup animation played
  • Fixed the startup update check cancelling the startup animation
  • Fixed screenshot tools like ShareX detecting the notch and dock as two large windows
  • Fixed the notch and dock blocking clicks on maximized windows on other monitors
