What's New

  • Win+1 to Win+9 open your pinned dock apps (can be turned off in Settings > Dock).
  • Per-app volume mixer: open the volume edge and tap the mixer button to set each app's volume.
  • Per-monitor behavior: choose Fixed, Smart or Peek separately for each monitor's dock and notch (Settings > Dock / Notch).
  • Adaptive dock: in fixed mode, the dock stretches to full width while a window is maximized.
  • Start button icon: pick the Nectar logo, the Windows logo, or your own image (Settings > Dock).
  • Middle-click a dock icon, or right-click and choose Open New Instance, to open another window of an app.
  • Clicking an app with several windows cycles through them, and the dock shows one dot per window.
  • Timer chime when the countdown ends, with a Timer Sound toggle in Settings > Notch.
  • The Wi-Fi tile shows Off, Not connected or Connected.
  • The add-app popup lists running apps first, searches better and won't pin an app twice.

Improvements

  • The notch needs a brief hover before it peeks from the top edge, so passing over a maximized window's tabs no longer triggers it.
  • Calendars sync right after Nectar restarts or crashes.
  • The Settings and Calendar window buttons are now on the right, and those windows no longer maximize.

Bug Fixes

  • Store, web app (PWA) and UWP apps show their real icons and get their own dock item.
  • Closed apps leave the dock sooner.
  • Smart and Peek now react only on the monitor you're using.
  • The brightness slider works on laptop screens, and sliders show 0 while muted.
  • Volume and brightness keys go back to Windows when their overlay is turned off.
  • Nectar restarts itself if its window process crashes.
  • Your taskbar auto-hide setting is restored after a crash or force close.
  • The dock stays hidden when disabled, even if you change its mode.
