CmdPal: Fixed crashes on pages using filters (e.g., Windows Terminal profiles, Windows Services) when built with trimming or AOT by removing runtime bindings from the FiltersDropDown control Fixed an issue where window style changes (such as WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW) were not properly applied by ensuring cached window data is refreshed Light Switch: Fixed bug where Light Switch was enabled by default Fixed bug where Manual time schedule was being overridden by sunset calculations Renamed "Manual" mode to "Fixed Hours" for clarity Created a new "Off" mode that disables the schedule but still allows the shortcut to be used Fixed a bug which allowed the taskbar to be the accent color in light mode (this should only be allowed in dark mode) Fixed a bug where light/dark times where not updating when switch between modes (Specifically manual back to Sunset to Sunrise mode) Find my mouse: Fixed bug that would cause the window to lose focus Fixed bug that would cause the mouse to go busy (hourglass) Installer: Removed WiX v3 infrastructure and migrate exclusively to WiX v5, cutting build times Bug report: Improvements to the bug report system |
