SwiftBar 2.1.2 beta 4
This beta collects eleven fixes and one new plugin option since beta 3, focused on macOS 26/27 menu behavior and wake-from-sleep false alarms.
Fixes
- Custom
color=is preserved through hover on macOS 26 — colored titles are left alone during menu tracking, which also resolves inline-image loss on hover. #541 #530 #558 - Calendar and Reminders access works again for plugins on macOS 14+ — the EventKit full-access usage keys were missing. #411 #549
- The stale-update ⚠️ no longer fires after wake from sleep — sleep time is excluded from staleness checks. #540 #551 #561
- The "SwiftBar is already running" recovery alert no longer appears after wake, on notification clicks, or when opening
swiftbar://URLs. #548 #535 #562 - Option-click on a menu bar item reveals the standard items again on macOS 27. #560 #564
- Press-drag-release on a menu item now runs its action, and clicks are no longer swallowed after closing a right-click menu. #559 #568
- Submenus nested inside fold sections refresh their contents on plugin updates, including fold/submenu shape changes and renames. #534 #569
- The plugin settings pane in Preferences is resizable and shows scroll indicators, so settings below the fold are discoverable. #555 #563
badge=counts are centered in their pill onfold=truerows. #557 #565- The Login Items entry in System Settings shows "SwiftBar" instead of "Ameba Labs, LLC". #553 #566
New
<swiftbar.collapseOnClose>true</swiftbar.collapseOnClose>plugin metadata flag — fold sections reset to collapsed whenever the menu closes. #536 #567
Please test hover colors and inline images on macOS 26.x (#530 reporters especially), alt-click and press-drag-release on macOS 27, and wake-from-sleep behavior before the stable release.
