Ventus v1.0.31 - Settings polish, UI refinements, smarter update flow
What's new
UI & Design
- Ad blocker popover - redesigned with a compact, minimalist layout inspired by Apple developer aesthetics; status dot replaces the old colored header, tighter spacing, no gradient fill
- Incognito badge - new spy/fedora icon, frosted-white chip style, no background gradient
- Software Update card (Settings > About) - full Apple-quality status card with live states (checking, up to date, available, downloading, error); status line and progress render inline in the card
- Downloads in Settings - now matches the downloads panel exactly (same compact rows, same file-type chip, same action buttons); fully consistent across both surfaces
Behaviour
- Smarter update flow - clicking "Check for updates" from the About panel now updates inline in the card only; no redundant update modal stacking on top of Settings
- Tab sleep indicator - moon icon now appears only when a tab is fully discarded (WebView dropped), not when merely suspended; avoids the icon showing up on mildly idle tabs
- Download popover shadow - fixed the hard-cut shadow clipping on the right and bottom edges (was sized for the wrong CSS shadow variable)
Internal
- Version bump: 1.0.30 > 1.0.31
