This update introduces some exciting new features: Lock Keys flyout has improved animations, you can now autohide the Taskbar Widget if media is paused, and the Visualizer is much more efficient! 🎉 Thanks to everyone for your continued support and feedback <3

📝 Changelog

New features & settings:

• 🔓 New, Smooth Animations for the Lock Keys flyout — The lock keys indicators are now subtly animated, giving a much smoother experience when toggling lock keys! This is enabled by default and can be disabled in Settings > Lock Keys Flyout.
• 🎵 Improved Visualizer — Optimized the audio visualizer experience: rounded corners look better especially with smaller bars, and processing is ~2.2x faster (expect less CPU usage)!
• ⏸️ Autohide Taskbar Widget — Added a new option to automatically hide the Taskbar Widget whenever your media is paused in Settings > Taskbar Widget.

Other updates:

• Simplified Taskbar Widget options by hiding "Click to Open Media Flyout" and "Close Flyout on Second Click", and setting them always on. I understand that a lot of users might find the settings overwhelming, and these changes make navigating just a bit less cluttered.
• Fixed an issue where settings sometimes get reset to default if users shut down the computer before saving fully finishes, leading to corrupt save files. The new system creates backups of previous saves to load from.
• Fixed incorrect lock states for the Lock Keys flyout if they were pressed rapidly: the indicators should be way more accurate now!
• Removed "Experimental" from the Next Up Flyout section
• Updated developers and translators list in About
• Other bug fixes and changes

Language updates:

• Added three new languages - Catalan, Hindi, and Slovak - thanks to our open-source contributors!
• Updated translations of 22 languages (Thanks to @D4NA-DANA @oski165 @zen1337th @TranMC @weiss-rn @yllnsbprs-arch @Xshadow9 @mak7im01 @Self4215 @notaarryan @hayiamzhengxum @zorekryk @avshalombegler @dft-haeil @Marks12520 @Y345ez @AnsonVTo ❤️)

📝 Changelog
