✨ New Features

  • Liquid Glass background gets a native glass look on macOS 27
    • Real edge refraction and a bright rim
    • Find it in Settings > Appearance > Background with the Liquid Glass style (the default style)
    • New Opacity slider from "Clearer" to "More Opaque"
    • New Refraction toggle, on by default; turn it off for softer frosted glass that is easier to read over busy backgrounds
    • Replaces the older Glass Tuning options on macOS 27 and later
    • macOS 26 keeps Glass Tuning unchanged
    • Settings search finds Opacity and Refraction on macOS 27 and later
  • Show the Space number on window previews
    • Turn on "Show Space number on previews" in Settings > Appearance > General Appearance
    • Off by default, and only shown when you have more than one desktop
    • Works in the standard and compact layouts
    • The badge moves to a corner that doesn't overlap the window controls
  • Running app dots for the active app indicator
    • Choose "Dots (running apps)" under Settings > General > Active App Indicator > Indicator Style
    • Every running app gets a dot: bright for the frontmost app, dimmed for apps with open windows, black for apps with none
    • Dots update as windows open and close and as you switch apps
    • Indicator Height and Length are hidden for Dots; Position Offset and Shift still apply
    • The default stays the line style

🔧 Improvements & Stability

  • Small badges on previews use the same Liquid Glass look on macOS 27 and later
  • Updated translations for supported languages
  • Debug logs record more capture details to help diagnose blank or wrong previews

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • Accessibility permission prompt no longer asks to restart too early
    • OK now only opens System Settings
    • DockDoor asks you to restart once it detects the permission has been granted
    • If you grant access later, dock previews start working without reopening DockDoor
  • Clicks no longer stop working system-wide after permission changes
    • When macOS refuses DockDoor's input access, DockDoor releases its keyboard and mouse monitoring so your clicks go through
    • It restores monitoring when access returns
  • Invisible helper and phantom windows no longer appear in previews or the switcher
  • Full-size hover previews no longer stick on screen or appear late
    • Pressing Escape also dismisses a full-size preview
  • Previews no longer turn into a cropped image when switching Spaces
  • Windows of quit or crashed apps no longer linger in the window switcher
  • Dock previews sit next to the hovered icon on a right-side Dock
  • Preview panels stay anchored to their icon and inside the visible screen when they resize
  • Newly opened dock previews show a current window list instead of stale windows
  • Native tabbed windows collapse correctly in dock previews, matching the switcher
  • Active app indicator sits correctly on macOS 27
  • DockDoor Pro icon displays correctly
