ZenNotes v2.80.1

on GitHub

ZenNotes 2.80.1 takes a white square out of every dark theme: where a view scrolls both ways, such as the Kanban board with lanes or a wide database grid, the corner between its two scrollbars was painted white. It is a same-day patch for 2.80.0, whose notes have everything 2.80 brings.

Released from 06ab9d60 through #1031 on 2026-10-30. All installers are verified.

Fixes

• No white square where a view's two scrollbars meet. Before: in a dark theme, a view that scrolls both across and down drew a solid white 10 px square in its bottom-right corner, the brightest thing on the screen. 2.80.0's swimlanes made it easy to see, since a board with lanes scrolls both ways, and wide database grids had it too. After: the corner shows the page behind it in every theme, dark or light. The phone walk for iPhone 1.35.0 and Android 1.1.51 found it first; both phone apps ship the same fix.

For contributors

• packages/app-core/src/styles/index.css (eef398bd): the global stylesheet styled ::-webkit-scrollbar, its track and its thumb, but never ::-webkit-scrollbar-corner, and once a page styles the scrollbar, Chromium paints an unstyled corner white. The corner is now transparent beside the track. scrollbar-style.test.ts pins it (red without the rule).
• Checked over CDP on the built app with both stores isolated: a Kanban board with Lanes: Priority and a 24-column, 80-row CSV database, in Gruvbox dark and light. All 400 device pixels of the corner read the page colour after the fix and white before.

Verification

How to test locally:

1. Build once with npm run build --workspace @zennotes/desktop and launch with isolated stores: ZENNOTES_USER_DATA_PATH=$(mktemp -d) ZENNOTES_CONFIG_DIR=$(mktemp -d) npx electron apps/desktop/out/main/index.js.
2. Pick a dark theme (Settings, Appearance). Open Tasks, Kanban, View, Lanes: Priority, in a vault with enough tasks that the board scrolls both across and down, and make the window small.
3. Look at the bottom-right corner where the two scrollbars meet. Before: a white square. After: nothing but the page background. A database with many columns and rows shows the same.
