onWatch 2.14.13 brings the Windows tray up to the macOS menubar: a native quick view, a sharp tray icon, and start at login with restart after a crash.

Windows: native quick view

The quick view used to open as a Microsoft Edge app window, with a title bar, a taskbar button, a fixed 360x680 size and a cold browser start on every click. It now opens as a borderless WebView2 popup anchored next to the tray:

  • It fits its content and scales with each monitor's DPI.
  • It has rounded corners on Windows 11 and stays warm between opens.
  • A second click, a click outside, Esc or the close button dismisses it.
  • Links open in your default browser.

If the WebView2 runtime is missing, or ONWATCH_QUICKVIEW_BROWSER is set, the Edge app window is still used as a fallback.

Windows: sharp tray icon and menu

  • The tray badge is drawn at the exact tray icon size for your display scaling, with anti-aliased digits. It used to be a 32 px icon squeezed into a 16-24 px slot.
  • The companion is per-monitor DPI aware, so the menu is no longer blurry at 125% and above.
  • Tray menus follow the dark theme.
  • Each provider row in the tray menu has a status dot (Windows and Linux).

Windows: start at login

onwatch service install, uninstall and status now work on Windows. They register a per-user Task Scheduler task with no admin rights needed. The task:

  • starts onWatch at logon without flashing a window
  • restarts it 10 seconds after a crash, backing off to 5 minutes

onwatch stop stays stopped until your next login. onwatch update and dashboard updates restart through the task, so the new binary stays supervised. install.ps1 offers auto-start and re-registers an existing task on upgrade. See the new Start at Login section in docs/WINDOWS_SETUP.md.

Fixes

  • The tray now appears when onWatch is started by Task Scheduler, which does not set SESSIONNAME.
  • Taking over from a running instance on Windows waits for the old process to exit instead of failing with "Only one usage of each socket address".

Upgrading

onwatch update, or re-run the installer. On Windows, run onwatch service install (or re-run install.ps1) to turn on start at login.

The VS Code extension is unchanged in this release. It shares the daemon's version number, so 2.14.13 is a republish of the same extension.

Thanks to @prachimantri20 for #150.
