Triggers can show items while an app runs, even in the background. When it quits, they go back to your saved layout. Added by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Launchers can open menu bar items and apply profiles through thaw:// URLs. Floe works without setup. Added by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Restore missing menu bar items, in Troubleshooting, brings back stuck items and keeps your saved layout. Added by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Gradients can run at any angle. A new slider in Appearance sets it. Gradients you already use look the same. Suggested by Danilo Carvalho (danmnesiac) on Discord. Added by @diazdesandi.
Layout shows when macOS won't let an icon follow its section. A badge on the item explains why. Added by @camguillory in #1254.

A gold app icon and a matching accent color. By @diazdesandi in #1223.
About has a new layout, a sidebar entry and a Credits page. By @diazdesandi in #1223.
Release notes and Credits use the same text sizes as Settings. By @diazdesandi in #1223.
Menu bar history is gone, with its click history and unused-item suggestions. Thaw clears the recorded history on launch. Layout backups and hidden items are unaffected. By @diazdesandi in #1223.

Thaw says when macOS is blocking its icon. A warning under "Show Thaw icon" points you to System Settings > Menu Bar. Reported by @promonteiro89 in #1232. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Thaw warns when apps it hid are still hidden after a launch where it couldn't show them again. The warning in General opens Tools, where you can restore them. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Items show in the menu bar again with the Thaw Bar turned off. The bar could show only the section markers. Reported by @daschles in #1228. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Menu bar search keeps the keyboard after a search with no matches, and when you open it again. Reported by Jam and krossen6 on Discord. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.

Layout previews follow each item's current position. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Simple Mode previews stay up to date. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.

The Thaw Bar no longer turns gray with black icons when "Thaw Bar own look" is off. Reported by @scsyc in #1222. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.
"When applying spacing" is back in Displays. "Wait until next restart" saves the spacing without relaunching apps. Reported by @netheremp in #1230. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.

Moves work while another app is slow to respond. One busy app, such as Google Drive in the middle of a sync, used to block every move. Fixed by @camguillory in #1233.
Reordering in Layout works with the Thaw icon hidden. Drops used to save the order without moving anything. Fixed by @camguillory in #1234.
Dragging one Stats item moves only that item. After updating, you may need to place your Stats items once more. Fixed by @camguillory in #1235.
A second display no longer scrambles your saved order. Items used to jump to the end of the menu bar after a reveal. Fixed by @camguillory in #1241.
Some items no longer take seconds to move. Thaw drags them right away. Fixed by @camguillory in #1251.

A new or temporary icon no longer scrambles your order. When an item arrives, Thaw keeps the order you saved. Reported by HiroMike on Discord. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.
Layout works in Manual arrangement. You can drag, sort and use the keyboard there to move items between sections. Reported by HiroMike on Discord. Fixed by @diazdesandi in #1223.

Stats icons show up where they used to be blank or out of date. Fixed by @camguillory in #1236.
Items that report an oversized icon appear in Thaw. You can now show, hide and move them. Fixed by @camguillory in #1240.
Layout keeps real icons while you work in another app. They used to turn into app icons after 30 seconds. Fixed by @camguillory in #1246.
Icons next to a hidden Thaw icon keep their real look. Fixed by @camguillory in #1247 and #1252.
Icons with their own background keep it, such as Krisp's white square. Fixed by @camguillory in #1264.

Icons load sooner in Layout with several displays. They could take about 19 seconds and show app icons in the meantime. Fixed by @camguillory in #1248.
Thaw recognizes the menu bar's overflow arrow in every language. On non-English systems Thaw could save it as an app's icon, and opening the Thaw Bar made icons blink. Fixed by @camguillory in #1257.
Clicks in empty menu bar space work on a full notched bar. Right-clicking opens Thaw's menu there, and click, hover and scroll show your items. Fixed by @camguillory in #1258.
The Thaw Bar shows real icons when the menu bar is full, where it used to show an app icon for every item. Fixed by @camguillory in #1259.
A Thaw Bar opened at the pointer stays put. It used to jump across the screen when you moved the mouse over an item. Fixed by @camguillory in #1249.
