Arcsidebar 0.6.0

Choose a tag to compare

@trajche trajche released this 28 Sep 09:01
  • Arc no longer has its own hide/show shortcut. Hiding is Firefox's sidebar
    toggle now — the toolbar button, View → Sidebar, or its shortcut — and the
    extensions row hides with it. Arc's own hide mode was stored per window and
    survived restarts, so a window could come back hidden with no visible way
    out; that state is gone.

  • The setup turns on Firefox's Picture-in-Picture on tab switch, so a playing
    video pops out when you leave its tab and returns when you come back, the way
    Arc does. Firefox has this built in; some profiles ship with it off.

  • Dragging a tab above the list drops it at the top. The strip with the divider
    and "New Tab · Clear" accepted nothing, so the line stayed on screen while the
    drop was refused.

Install: download arc-0.6.0.xpi below and open it in Firefox. Installed copies update themselves.

Arcsidebar 0.5.1

@trajche trajche released this 27 Sep 16:26
  • Tabs nobody has looked at for 45 minutes are unloaded, and load again when
    clicked. A space's tabs stay in memory while the space is hidden, so a window
    was holding every tab of every space at once. Tabs playing audio, tabs in
    private windows and the tab you're on are left alone.

  • Badge icons other extensions set (like Tab Driver's robot) sit between the
    favicon or sound icon and the title, and look like the sound button instead
    of taking the space's color. A pulsing icon shows a small blinking green dot
    instead of blinking itself. (0.4.9 was meant to carry this and shipped an
    older build by mistake.)

@trajche trajche released this 26 Sep 19:21
  • Other extensions can add items to the sidebar's tab menu, the same way they
    set badges: up to five, optionally limited to certain tabs, with clicks sent
    back to the extension that added them.

Arcsidebar 0.4.7

@trajche trajche released this 26 Sep 19:06
  • Favorites stay four across at the usual sidebar width, and gain a column
    roughly every 64px as the sidebar is dragged wider, instead of the tiles
    growing with it.
  • Tab badges other extensions set can be an icon (bot, sparkles), sit at the
    start of the row, or pulse.

Run the setup script again for the layout ones: they live in the profile, not
in the add-on.

  • Lucide icons throughout. The sound indicator is a speaker glyph in a chip
    next to the favicon, where Arc puts it, instead of an emoji at the end of
    the row.

  • The line above the tab list runs the full width when "New Tab · Clear" is
    hidden, instead of stopping short at invisible labels.

  • The sidebar can be dragged to any width, for real this time. Three things
    were breaking it: an older copy of the stylesheet left in the profile by a
    manual install, a display override that replaced the splitter's own frame,
    and the marker Arc writes into the window title — a window that had ever
    been hidden with Option+Shift+S lost its resize handle without looking
    hidden. Option+Shift+S was broken by the same mismatch and works again.

  • Firefox keeps the width the sidebar is dragged to. It was pinned in
    user.js, which is applied at every start, so it reset on every launch.

  • The setup leaves symlinked files alone and says so when it finds an Arc
    stylesheet outside the block it manages.

  • Thinner scrollbars in the tab and pinned lists (this one is in the add-on).

Arc 0.4.0

@trajche trajche released this 23 Sep 10:56

Arc now owns Cmd/Ctrl+T and Cmd/Ctrl+W: the command bar opens with no flash from Firefox's own new tab, and a space keeps its last command bar instead of emptying. Run the setup script again (it clears the two reserved keys in customKeys.json) and restart Firefox.
