Breaking changes to config file

Note: The app doesn't have a migration tool, so you will have to implement these changes manually.

• ExtendFrameToClientArea has been renamed to ExtendFrameIntoClientArea
• For portable versions, the config file is now located at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Mica For Everyone\MicaForEveryone.conf

Full changelog

• Add ability to reload config file automatically after it got changed outside of app
• Add an option to open config file in your default text editor, quickly from context menu
• Add Settings GUI
• Add Localization support
• Add rule for Mica CMD (Console Host window with Mica on background) to default config file
• Fix Tray Icon being not visible after restarting explorer
• Overall improvements to performance and app's behavior
• Remove dependency on .NET Core Desktop Runtime (.NET Core Runtime is enough)
• Add an option to run app on startup
• Make app single instance (Running Mica For Everyone again will just open settings UI, previously it would run it again so you'd have two instances of MFE running on your machine)
• Add support for Windows 10 (still UI is broken)
• Add support for running as packaged MSIX
• Add Blur Behind support
• Add Spanish Translation by @xoascf

• Update Spanish Translation (by @xoascf)
• Fix a bug in LanguageService, caused crash during startup (with @wmltogether and @dongle-the-gadget)
• Fix some problems in MSBuild scripts

Known Issues

• UI doesn't work well on Windows 10
• Xbox Game Bar background may get opaque, can't be reproduced in another build, reason is unknown and adding rule won't help

• Bug fixes and improvements to performance and UI, with @dongle-the-gadget
• Improve config file error messages
• Add Localization Support
• Add Spanish Localization by @xoascf
• Add Blur Behind to GUI
• Redesign Setting window

Known issues

Change Log

• Fix a bug caused to crash app when a Content Dialog is opened on light theme (#37)
• Use StorageFile and ApplicationDataContainer for saving application settings and config when you run app as packaged MSIX
• Add GUI support for using custom config file
• Add Blur Behind support (can be enabled by setting EnableBlurBehind to true in config file)
• Add Reset Config button

Notes

• For installing MSIX version you need to add package's certificate
• Self Contained version includes .NET Core Runtime, if you don't have .NET Core on your machine you can use this version

Change Log

• New Settings service implemented, now "Reload Config File on Change" and "Config File Path" are saved to registry and both are customizable.
• "Add Rule" dialog bug and a visual design mistake fixed
• Windows 10 support added (only dark titlebar works)
• Enable support for keyboard navigation on Settings window
• Improvements to config file parser

If you use your old config file App may crash without any error message, you need to delete your old config file or change everyExtendFrameToClientArea to ExtendFrameIntoClientArea in it. Also I may make some changes to config file format so compatibility will lost.

Change Log

• App is single instance now, if you run Mica For Everyone while it's running it'll open settings window instead of running twice
• Fix crash on enabling "Run on Startup" option
• Config file is moved to LocalState folder so "Open in Editor" option works correctly
• Fix restarting explorer shows a white window
• Removed .NET Core runtime from package as package already depends on .NET Core runtime and windows will install it automatically during installation of package

Known Issues

• "Reload Config File on Change" option in General settings is not saved and will be lost after closing.
• Settings window shows v0.0.4.1 because app version is not bumped, yet.
• "Add Rule" button in "New Rule" dialog has no text

This is first build that's packaged as MSIX, I release it for testing purposes.

Known issues

• Enabling "Run on Startup" makes app crash, but it'll create startup task. You can check it from Task Manager.
• "Open In Editor" option doesn't open config file.
• "Reload Config File on Change" option in General settings is not saved and will be lost after closing.
• Settings window shows v0.0.4.1 because app version is not bumped, yet.
• "Add Rule" button in "New Rule" dialog has no text
• Restarting explorer while app is running will open a white big window

Known issues

• You can't add multiple rules of same type in config file

Hello, and Thanks to everyone for using this app! I wasn't expecting this much attention and I started this project as an experiment but now it's getting a lot of attention, more than my best projects. Also thanks to @dongle-the-gadget helped me a lot.

• Use Xaml Island and WinUI 2.7 for user interface
• Save configuration after changing them from tray icon's menu

• Fixed app crash with System.ExecutionEngineException
• Added an option to reload config file
• Added support for Windows 11 build 22523

In this release, more features are added to app:

• Support for config file and rules
• Add ExtendFrameIntoClientArea option (to get Mica effect on background of apps that don't use custom background)
• Reimplement tray icon in Win32 (previously it was using WinForms)

Known issues:

• the "Reapply rules" reloads config file but it doesn't re-parse rules (just need to add RuleHandler.LoadConfig())
• app crashes after a few minutes for no reason (I'm trying to solve it)
