The Aero interface is now available: blue/periwinkle glass-style panels, glossy controls, highlighted workspace selections, and a reflective placement preview.

Changes

  • Keeps the existing workspace and window layout while refreshing the visual theme.
  • Correctly initializes saved trigger, display, and placement selections in the editors.
  • Keeps Save and Cancel visible when the editor is resized; long settings forms scroll.
  • Adds accessible names to the main lists and editor fields.
  • Adds editor Save/Cancel, browser toggle, preview synchronization, selection initialization, and manually scaled layout checks.

Download and use

Extract every file from LatchLayout-win-x64.zip, then run LatchLayout.exe. The .NET runtime is included. Configure a workspace, test with Open workspace now, enable hold shortcuts, and hide to tray. Quit stops the listener. There is no startup task or service. Existing settings use the same local directory as v0.1.0.

30 local test cases passed on Windows 11 x64, including actual window restoration on two displays and real Chrome tests in an isolated temporary profile. The release build has no warnings or errors. Layout renders at manually scaled 100%, 150%, and 200% sizes are covered; those checks do not constitute mixed-DPI hardware testing.

This is an unsigned early preview. Physical input delivery, real suspend/resume, mixed-DPI hardware, monitor hot-plug, accessibility tools, Windows 10, and other Chromium browsers have not been end-to-end verified. Concurrent external browser launches can make new-window attribution ambiguous. No independent security audit or legal clearance is claimed.

The app has no telemetry, key logging, keyboard hooks, or network client. Launched programs and websites have their own privacy behavior. Source is MIT licensed, and runtime redistribution notices are included. Compare the ZIP's SHA-256 with SHA256SUMS.txt. See README and docs/VERIFICATION.md for details.
