Details

1

• Built-in support for OS build 22000.708.
• Added configuration options for the new Windows Spotlight desktop background feature, including:
  • Hide the "Learn about this picture" icon
  • Choose which items from the Windows spotlight icon context menu to have replicated in the desktop context menu (legacy context menu only)
  • Set a schedule for "Switch to next picture"
  • Manipulate the feature from the Properties UI, bypassing the desktop icon
• The Properties UI hides sections that are not applicable to your current settings; for example, the "Weather" tab is not displayed if you've selected the Windows 11 taskbar, as none of the options in there apply when in this mode.

2

• sws: Fixed a bug that created unnecessary paint events when a window was flashing and the switcher is not shown

3

• Added option to hide the "Show desktop" button, but still retain its functionality, when using the Windows 10 taskbar
• Fixed a bug in Windows 10 where the Start menu was displayed centered by default

4

• Weather: Show "Reload" link when data fails to load (thanks Varun A. for the suggestion)
• sws: Draw placeholder thumbnail when a proper thumbnail cannot be obtained (for example, due to a window having an invalid width or height)
• sws: Fixed a bug that could prevent the switcher from identifying when the desktop is in the foreground
• sws: Fixed a regression that could prevent the switcher from properly detecting foreground window changes
• sws: Fixed a bug that made very small windows have a rectangle area too small for properly working with in the switcher

5

• Fixed a bug that could prevent Control Panel link redirection from working correctly
• Weather: Fixed a bug that prevented the widget from working when WebView2 Runtime >= 102.0.1245.33
