This update introduces a new settings management system that replaces Microsoft's built-in system with a more robust custom system. This will prevent settings from resetting every update or reinstall.

Unfortunately, the settings will reset one last time before converting to the new settings system. After v1.3.4, all settings will migrate to new versions without resetting!

📝 Changelog

• Rewrote Settings Management for Update Compatibility
• Corrected FullscreenDetector logic (Thanks @Yasunaii again for noticing this)
• Full Changelog: https://github.com/unchihugo/FluentFlyout/compare/v1.3.2...v1.3.4

• 🐛 Added new setting to automatically turn off FluentFlyout when a DirectX exclusive fullscreen game is running by @unchihugo, this should fix all edge cases where fullscreen games still minimize after a flyout is activated. (Thanks @Yasunaii and everyone else for helping out!)

@unchihugo here, I appreciate everyone's support a lot! I'm still working on more flyouts (capslock, numlock, etc.) and the option to disable volume key triggers, as some of you suggested. Here's what's new so far:

  • Alter tray icon left click behavior: choose between opening settings (default) and showing main flyout, if you would like to use the tray icon as a more integrated flyout button in the taskbar (suggestion by u/moccatune)
  • Choose between left or center title & artist alignment. Definitely try this out, it feels very clean! (suggestion by @AsvnDG)
• Updated settings UI and text
• Made Mica effect more reliable
• Other bug fixes
• Codebase related stuff:
