✨ New Features
Scrolling Music Information
Track titles and artist names that do not fit within the available space can now scroll automatically.
The following modes can be selected in Settings:
- Disabled
- Always scroll
- Scroll only while hovering
This feature is supported by both the Minimal and Productivity designs.
Automatic Update Checks
NoraBar can now check GitHub Releases for new versions when the application starts.
When an update is available, NoraBar displays a notification and provides access to the latest release page. Automatic checks can be disabled in Settings.
Fullscreen HUD Behavior
A new option prevents the HUD from expanding while a fullscreen game, video player, or other application is active on the same monitor as NoraBar.
Restart the Audio Visualizer
The audio visualizer can now be restarted from the Settings window without restarting the entire application.
🎨 Settings and Design Improvements
- Reorganized Settings into General, HUD, and About pages
- Separated shared HUD settings from HUD-specific settings
- Added the application icon to the Settings window
- Added interface icons using Material Icons
- Introduced consistent scrollbar styling
- Added Japanese and English text for the new settings
- Updated third-party license information
🔧 Stability Improvements
Audio visualizer resources, including timers and audio capture components, are now properly released when the visualizer stops.
This reduces the chance of unused resources remaining after restarting the visualizer or closing NoraBar.
