Installation and Usage
- Download Installer: TransparentTwitchChat-win-Setup.exe
- Or Download Portable: TransparentTwitchChat-win-Portable.zip
- Once the app starts, you may be instructed to download and install the WebView2 Runtime
- You can use the menu button at the top-left to open settings
- Choose either KapChat, jCyan, or Twitch Popout at the bottom of the settings window
- Enter the required information (typically just your username) and press Save.
What's Changed
v1.1.6
- Intentionally skipped v1.1.5 (due to some struggles with github actions)
- The portable version will now save settings in the folder you extracted the app to. Specifically in
TransparentTwitchChat-win-Portable\current\settings\folder. - The installed version will still have settings in
%appdata%\TransparentTwitchChatWPF\but you can still use the portable version with the app installed, if you need separate settings apart from the installed version. - Multiple instances should be completely fixed now, with limitations. One being the jumplist options (the menu when you right click the app in the taskbar) will only work for the first instance opened. Also, settings are shared amongst all the instances so it's not ideal to try to use it that way. For now it's best to use multiple portable versions instead, so they will each have their own settings file. This will be fixed in the future.
- Better handling of WebView2 crashes.
- Slightly better update window that let's you disable updates if you're tired of seeing them. You can always turn back on the checks again in the settings, under "General".
- You can set the opacity/transparency of the background for widget windows now.

Known Issues
- If you need/want to use multiple instances, consider using portable (which now has settings within the extracted folder). Otherwise settings are shared amongst the multiple instances and there's no way to make the multiple instances use different settings (yet).
