Bloom v3.9.0

Bloom 3.9.0

Here's what's new in Bloom 3.9 — a bigger update than usual, with a few long-requested features and important fixes.

What's New

Control the volume of every app — the volume panel now expands into a mixer with a slider for each app that's playing sound. Turn one app down without affecting the rest.

Choose your start button icon — pick Bloom, Colorful, Golden, Orange or the classic Windows icon, or upload an image of your own. You'll find it in Settings → Dock.

Open pinned apps with Win+1 … Win+9 — press the Windows key and a number to open, focus or minimize the app in that spot on the dock.

Middle-click for a new window — middle-click a dock icon, or right-click and choose the option, to open another instance of an app.

The dock adapts to maximized windows — in fixed mode, the dock now stretches across the screen while a window is maximized and returns to its normal size when you restore it.

A fresh look for the Pomodoro timer — the timer in the notch has a new flip-clock design and plays a chime when your session ends.

Fixes

• Bloom no longer crashes on launch for users whose previous update failed to install.
• The notch no longer leaves a gap at the top of the screen after waking from sleep or changing display scaling in smart and peek modes.
• Settings changes made right after startup are no longer lost.
• Brave web apps now appear as their own dock icons instead of blending into the browser.
• App names in the volume mixer are now more reliable.
