Glassline 1.0.4 · Waiting for Microsoft to release it

See what changed

1.0.4

Sent to the Microsoft Store. It reaches you as soon as Microsoft releases it.

Six languages

Glassline now comes in Spanish, German, Polish, French and Brazilian Portuguese. It follows the language of Windows; to choose another, open Settings, General, Language.

Your own events

Add your own events to the calendar: click the clock, then the plus under the calendar. Events can repeat every week, month or year.

Search that learns

Search learns from what you open: results you pick often move to the top. A pointer resting over the results no longer changes what Enter opens.

Celsius or Fahrenheit, and more

Weather in Celsius or Fahrenheit. Esc closes Control Center, Today, Weather and dock stacks. File previews show photos the right way up.

Your accent colour

Choose the accent colour in Settings, Appearance: the Windows colour, or one of eight of Glassline's own. In Control Center, the switch between Controls and Today is clearer and buttons that are off are easier to see.

  • Control Center does more: switches for Night Light and VPN, Disconnect on the Wi-Fi network you are on, a mute button for the sound, Bluetooth headphones and speakers that connect or disconnect with a click, and every app that is playing something. Right-click any quick switch to open its page in Windows Settings.
  • Search opens what you type when it is a web address or the path of a folder or file. The new button in the search field (or the Down key) lists all your apps. Store apps get Run as administrator and Uninstall, as in Windows, and you can choose the search engine in Settings, Search.
  • In the dock, a file dropped on an app opens in that app and one dropped on the Recycle Bin is deleted. Icons show the app's progress bar and status icon, an app's menu lists its recent files, and Downloads and the Recycle Bin can be taken off the dock.
  • Also new: reminders for your own events, delivered by Windows; the weather of a place in its own time; SVG pictures in Quick Look; a dot on the bell when there are new notifications; hover text on Wi-Fi, Sound and Battery; and a Shortcuts page in Settings that lists every key Glassline answers to.

More than a hundred fixes

Among them:

  • Apps that close to the tray no longer go missing from Alt+Tab
  • Apps kept in the dock stay there after they update
  • Games in windowed full screen are moved to fill the screen
  • The menu bar follows the switch between light and dark mode right away
  • The dock stays away over full-screen windows
  • The dock and Search are no longer cut off with two displays at different scaling
  • Closed panels no longer slow the PC down

1.0.1

  • The first version in the Microsoft Store: a menu bar with the active app's menus, a dock with magnification, Search on the Windows key, Control Center and Today, the weather, file previews with Ctrl+Space, and Settings that explain every option.
  • Quit or uninstall Glassline, and the Windows taskbar and Start menu come back exactly as they were.
