ChangeWindows 7.5 is a minor feature update, introducing a set of design updates, a search feature and various other small improvements.
Highlights
Minor design refresh
Many issues and commits in this update focus on bringing a minor design refresh to ChangeWindows. Partially to provide support for Progressive Web App-support for windows-controls-overlay with which installing the ChangeWindows PWA will be able to make a custom titlebar design. The update brings ChangeWindows closer in line with the design of WinUI 2.6+.
This redesign includes some long-standing issues like proper pagination (#93) making it faster to navigate through the pages of our rather long lists, as well as drastically improving the Settings page with a better lay-out (also more inspired by Windows) and an improved call-out for our Patrons.
#140 Revamped platform overview
We're revamping the platform-details pages to give you an easier to scan through UI with all names listed below each other, codenames listed in the same column, and all active channels. For smaller devices, not much is changing.
#144 Search
ChangeWindows finally has a search function. You can now search through releases. But only releases for now. This includes their name, codename, version number, description, and changelog.
