Linux-only release of OxiTide — a high-resolution TIDAL player written entirely in Rust. The macOS and Windows builds stay on 0.1.8.
What's new
Added
- Collapsible sidebar. A toggle at the foot of the nav column swaps the labels and section captions for icons alone — 200px down to 56px. Row names move to tooltips. The state persists across restarts, and a sidebar you had widened comes back at the same width when you expand it again.
Changed
- The play bar no longer reaches across the sidebar. It now overlays the content column alone, the way the Windows and macOS builds already did. The visualizer and DSP panels move with it.
- Play-bar cover art at your display's real resolution. The bar used to fetch a fixed 80px image and pre-scale it to 60, so a 2x display painted a half-resolution texture into the slot. It now goes through the same texture cache as every other cover in the app, decoding at pixel size times scale factor.
