v5.19.3

Posted on by Gil Eli

Improvements

  • Implemented option to configure the toolbar hover time (https://github.com/BiGilSoft/WindowTop/issues/269)

  • Stability improvement: Improved the recovery logic that was used to avoid the case that the app UI thread froze. The old logic avoided it by allowing the app to crash silently and exit. Now the logic will interrupt the UI thread so the app UI can show the actual fatal error while allowing the user to continue running the app or exit the app and report the error.
  • Implemented “Restart program” button in the global error handler:

    Now you can easily restart the app instead of relaunching the app (useful when the error does not go away until restart)
  • Removed unneeded logs and improved a few logs
  • Improved a few English text’s grammars

Bugfixes

  • Fixed the issue that the toolbar does not show when the “Whitelist the specified programs” is selected and no programs are added to the list (#275)

    This time it will not allow you to use this option if the list is empty.

  • Fixed: updated fix for #235 that sometimes the app froze
  • Fixed bug in the Microsoft Store version that when enabling a feature like always on top for an elevated window and confirming the admin permission request, the app froze for a few seconds and failed to enable the feature.
  • Fixed the issue that the toolbar does not show when the “Whitelist the specified programs” is selected and no programs are added to the list (#275)
  • Potential fix for some NullReferenceException exception from the Dispatcher queue (the bug possibly happen when Anchors are enabled in Windows 11)
  • Fix for possible InvalidOperationException exception in RendererManager when killing a renderer process (can happen when disabling dark-mode / glass-mode)
  • Fixed exception in HoverPreviewItem when it sets an invalid Width value for the hover preview in some cases (the bug can happen via the PiP feature when it tries to show a bigger preview when the mouse hovers over the small PiP thumbnail window)
  • Fixed exception when removing hotkey via the getting started window via the backspace button
  • Fixed fatal error in WTToolBarArrow that reported in the Microsoft store version by three users
  • Fixed other different fatal errors that were reported by 8 users (see #282 )
  • Fixed bug: “Disable when Game Mode detected” setting does the opposite (#268)

Changes

  • (v5.19.3) Rename “BiGilSoft” publisher to “WindowTop.Info”
