Note: Opening this new release after using old releases will reset your WinPaletter settings as its mechanism has been changed to a new better one. Know what you have changed in WinPaletter settings before using this release.
The same as 1.0.7.7 and 1.0.7.8 with a new feature, improvements and some bugs fixes:
-
New feature: WinPaletter settings read/write mechanism is re-written to be more organized (each section is in a separate key (folder)) and export/import mechanisms changed to be with JSON format. Open
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinPaletter\Settingsafter opening WinPaletter to know the changed mechanism if you are curious. -
Now WinPaletter will always start elevated (start as administrator) to make applying themes quicker as much as possible, and to avoid patching
imageres.dllerror (on changing Windows startup sound) -
Improvements in loading language file (less memory usage and quick application loading time)
-
Language items/texts of What's new labels will be neither loaded nor exported in/from it to avoid confusion between newly added labels' texts and old language translation
-
Drag and drop preview is removed (as this feature is not supported in any Windows application started as administrator)
-
Embedded assemblies (references) are now compressed (to try to make WinPaletter with a small file size as much as possible)
-
Fix bug of dark/light mode loading in Language add snippet form
-
Fix bug of Windows 8.1 Start screen black rectangles if designing theme from another version of Windows (not 8.1)
-
Fix theme apply error on applying Windows Effects #163
