Release v1.1.7

Installation and Usage

• Download Installer: TransparentTwitchChat-win-Setup.exe
• Or Download Portable: TransparentTwitchChat-win-Portable.zip
• Once the app starts, you may be instructed to download and install the WebView2 Runtime
• You can use the menu button at the top-left to open settings
• Choose either KapChat, jCyan, or Twitch Popout at the bottom of the settings window
• Enter the required information (typically just your username) and press Save.

What's Changed

v1.1.7

• Webview fixes and improved error handling.
• Twitch popout has an option to either use default css or custom css. The default css is also targeting a lot more css elements, so the chat should look better than before.
• Twitch popout has options for 7tv emotes and advanced emote menu.
• More settings for widgets: display name, url, hash code all saved now.
• Widgets can bet set to be interactable now. If you can't scroll or interact with the widget after setting it interactable, check the css and remove the overflow property.
• You can reload a widget's page, and copy the URL.
• Due to technical issues, you may have lost some settings for widgets. You can now migrate those settings from the widget window, just open the menu, then Settings and click Migrate Settings. This will overwrite your current widget settings. Only migrate if you're sure you need to.
  

v1.1.6

• The portable version will now save settings in the folder you extracted the app to. Specifically in TransparentTwitchChat-win-Portable\current\settings\ folder.
• The installed version will still have settings in %appdata%\TransparentTwitchChatWPF\ but you can still use the portable version with the app installed, if you need separate settings apart from the installed version.
• Multiple instances should be completely fixed now, with limitations. One being the jumplist options (the menu when you right click the app in the taskbar) will only work for the first instance opened. Also, settings are shared amongst all the instances so it's not ideal to try to use it that way. For now it's best to use multiple portable versions instead, so they will each have their own settings file. This will be fixed in the future.
• Better handling of WebView2 crashes.
• Slightly better update window that let's you disable updates if you're tired of seeing them. You can always turn back on the checks again in the settings, under "General".
• You can set the opacity/transparency of the background for widget windows now.

• Changed default hotkeys to: Ctrl-Alt-F7 Toggles interaction, Ctrl-Alt-F8 Force app to be on top, Ctrl-Alt-F9 Toggle borders
• If you change the hotkeys, you should note that they are globally registered through Windows, so that key combination that you set for this app, can't be used within other applications while this application is running. So you'd typically want to pick a unique key combination with modifiers like Ctrl or Alt, or both.

Known Issues

• The small "x" for closing the app still appears when hiding borders.
