New in LauncherX 2.0.0 (Oct 26, 2022)
- New Features:
- Redesigned user interface: LauncherX's design is now more in line with the design language of Windows 11, with new controls and materials. (Mica backdrop only available on Windows 11)
- LauncherX now sports a more modern and simple icon
- LauncherX now remembers the user's last window position
- Crash protection - items added to LauncherX are now saved every 10 seconds instead of only being saved when LauncherX is closed
- LauncherX now supports AnyCPU instead of only x64
- When adding folders, LauncherX now uses the more modern CommonOpenFileDialog to allow the user to choose a folder instead of the legacy FolderBrowserDialog
- LauncherX now supports dragging and dropping files, folders, and websites directly into the window
- Users can now change their icon scale to a precision of 2 decimal places.
- Bug Fixes:
- Fixed most graphical glitches that occur in LauncherX
- Fixed an issue where the user was experiencing a lot of lag when moving windows around
- Fixed an issue where LauncherX would not save user settings if an older version of LauncherX was also installed on the same computer
- Fixed an issue where you could not add folders with names that contain non-ASCII characters
- Other improvements:
- Fully migrated LauncherX from XAML Islands to pure WPF controls for faster rendering of controls with less graphical glitches
- Things to note:
- Included in this release is also an installer for the .NET Framework 4.8 runtime, which is required for LauncherX to run correctly. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not installed on your computer, you can use the attached installer to install it.
- If you want to uninstall LauncherX or manually update LauncherX, please remember to uninstall the previous version of LauncherX first. Don't worry, your data will not be deleted.
