Typing keeps up. Every keystroke asked Windows for the list of open
windows, and on a busy desktop that is most of a second of work: with 276
windows open the middle keystroke took 151ms and the worst 909ms. Searching
reads the answer it already has now, and takes 22ms. The list is still
current; it is refreshed a moment after you type rather than while you wait.

The top left says which place you are in. It used to be Sill's logo on
every screen, with the name of the place beside it. Now it is that place: an
extension's own icon, or the art of the settings panel a launcher screen
belongs to, so a screen and the row that opened it are one picture. Nothing is
written next to it, because the picture already said it. At the root, where
you are not inside anything, it is a magnifier.

Sill's own mark is in the bottom left, on the button that opens its menu,
where a caret used to be.

The clock, the battery and the weather sit in the middle of the chin. They
hung off the keys on the right before, so pinning a second reading pushed the
first one sideways. One, two or three now grow out from the centre and stay
there.

You can rank, pin, name and bind a row from the action panel. Those were
settings you had to go and find, about a row you were already looking at.
Naming was already there; the other four have joined it, and all of them are
reachable from a key, from the model and from an automation as well.

Menus are your theme's colour. The light across the top of a popover was
white, which washes a hue out rather than lifting it, so a menu floated on the
window looking a third as coloured as the window under it. Light themes keep
the white, where a tinted highlight would read as a stain.

A Detail view draws pictures. An extension that makes its own chart has
nowhere to put it but the text, and the wall of characters you saw instead of
one was the picture, printed.

The launcher opens at 750 by 509. A fresh install only; if you have ever
changed the size, yours is the one that counts.

the 0.3.0 tag was published under MIT and stays available under it.
