Grok Desktop 0.8.7 — Release Notes
Release date: 2026-07-21
Platforms: Windows x64 (primary this cycle) · Linux / macOS continue to share the same codebase
一句话
把 Windows 桌面端做到「能关窗、能托盘、能通知、能记忆窗口」,并把右上角 计划 / 导出 / 重命名 / 删除 收成一套产品级工具栏。
Highlights / 亮点
1. Windows 原生感
| 能力 | 说明 |
|---|---|
| 系统托盘 | 常驻右下角;右键显示 / 新建 / 设置 / 退出 |
| 关闭 → 托盘 | 点 × 不退出(可在设置关闭) |
| 首次提示 | 第一次藏托盘会通知,避免误以为闪退 |
| 完成后通知 | 失焦、托盘、后台会话都会弹系统通知;点击回到对应会话 |
| 任务栏 | 运行中进度条;完成后闪烁 |
| 窗口记忆 | 大小 / 位置 / 最大化下次启动还原 |
| 开机自启 | 设置可选 |
| 菜单与快捷键 | 标准菜单 + Ctrl+N / , / P / W / Tab / Q |
2. 顶栏 UI 统一
- 去掉状态条上重复的第二个「计划」
- 只保留右上角计划按钮
- 计划 · 导出 · 重命名 · 删除 同一工具栏样式(图标 + 文案 + 统一 hover)
- 计划打开时高亮;有条目时显示数字角标
