Slopsmith Desktop v0.2.9-alpha.3
This is the third testing pre-release of the 0.2.9 cycle. It bundles the
latest slopsmith core and the bundled plugin set as of 2026-05-22.
Pre-release / alpha quality. Expect rough edges. Not recommended for
everyday use — install alongside, not instead of, your stable build.
What to test
- Colorblind (high-contrast) palette preset — new option in the 3D Highway
colour settings; check that the preset renders clearly at all difficulty
levels and that switching back to the default palette is clean. - 3D Highway panel controls — newly exposed panel controls in the highway UI;
verify they apply live and persist across song loads. - Themed song-UI sliders — volume/mix sliders in the main song UI now pick up
the active theme colour; confirm visual consistency across the built-in themes. - Settings auto-save fix — the Default Arrangement and PSARC Platform
dropdowns in Settings should now save without requiring a manual save action;
confirm values survive an app restart. - Editor: Tempo Map editor + drum-tab sync — EOF-style Tempo Map editing is
now available in the editor plugin; also confirm drum-tab hits align correctly
after applying a sync offset.
