Today we announce the bugs fix update for True Launch Bar. This version also contains some new features.
And the most significant update:
Now True Launch Bar is completely FREE
Note: since version 8.0 only 64-bit version of True Launch Bar is supported.
New features in True Launch Bar v8.0:
HiDPI Monitors Support
This beta version has improved support for HiDPI Monitors. Generally True Launch Bar scale toolbar’s/menu’s elements automatically. If you already change the TLB Settings for the HiDPI Monitor you should know some rules TLB uses for scaling:
- To scale TLB elements you should turn on the option TLB Settings->General->Apply DPI scale factor
- All sizes in TLB Settings are scaled. This means if you are using x2 scale the icon size 48 will be scaled up to 96 pixels. This works for every size. For example maximum menu width 300 (by default) will be scaled up to 600 pixels. Fonts are scaled as well as other sizes
- Plugins are scaled automatically if the plugin doesn’t support HiDPI scaling. But it is possible to turn off scaling for every plugin: right-click plugin and turn off/on Appearance->Auto-Scale option
Plugins will be updated for HiDPI support shortly.
Improved Auto-Sensing
Before this beta version the toolbar options were applied to the toolbar in all auto-sensing toolbars. Now the following options are applied for current workspace only:
- Show Text (View submenu; shows text for toolbar buttons)
- Text to right (View submenu; force text to be shown at the right side of icon)
- Same width for all buttons with text (View submenu; makes the button width the same for all buttons with the text)
