# Changelog

## 1.2.0

**Release date:** Oct 12 2018

### New

* `[mac]` [VisualEffectViews](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/appkitaddition/visualeffectview.md) added as custom controls to [AppKitAddition](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/appkitaddition.md).

### Fixed

* `[win + mac]` [WindowBackground\_Color](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#windowbackground_color-as-color) is reset now too during a system color change.
* `[Demo]` Windows are now registered at [NSColorAddition](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md) as [SystemColorChangeReceivers](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#registerforsystemcolorchangenotification-receiver-as-nscoloraddition-systemcolorchangereceiver) so they correctly change their custom background color.

## 1.1.1

**Release date:** Oct 11 2018

### **New**

* `[win + mac]` Dynamic system colors are cached now. Both systems install a watcher to invalidate the colors in case of a color palette / Appearance change, otherwise their values will be retrieved from the interal cache. Therefore better performance.
* `[win]` Uses the [Color.BlendColor](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#blendcolor-extends-c-as-color-blendcolor-as-color-fraction-as-double-as-color) method for an approximation of systemColor.Colors under Windows – which means there are not that fully saturated [systemRed\_Colo](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#systemblue_color-systembrown_color-systemgray_color-systemgreen_color-systemorange_color-systempink_color-systempurple_color-systemred_color-systemyellow_color-as-color)r etc. on Windows too.
* `[all]` The former blendColor implementation for Windows and Linux now exists as xplatform [MultiplyColor](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#multiplycolor-extends-c-as-color-level-as-double-1-0-as-color) method – because that is basically what it did.
* `[mac + win]` several extension methods for setting images and icons in PushButtons, RadioButtons, Popupmenus and similar features.
* `[mac + win]` Many Pushbutton features extended to work on RadioButtons too.
* `[mac]` [AppKitAddition](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/appkitaddition.md) now includes methods for PushButton, RadioButton, PopupMenu, Window, MenuItem and SegmentedControl.
* `[win]` [User32Addition](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/user32addition.md) supports many controls- and windows features in conjunction with images under Windows as a sidekick for AppKitAddition.

### Fixed

* `[win + linux]` [Color.BlendColor](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#blendcolor-extends-c-as-color-blendcolor-as-color-fraction-as-double-as-color) brings a result similar to the native macOS function by a Xojo method now. 
* `[win]` [WindowBackground\_Color](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#windowbackground_color-as-color) now returns white on Windows 10 which is the correct window background color, not the light gray color that Xojo uses.
* `[all]` Win\_WindowBackground\_Color was removed because of the upper change and replaced by [Win\_Menu\_Color](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#win_menu_color-as-color).
* `[win]` [RegisterForSystemColorChangeNotification](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#registerforsystemcolorchangenotification-receiver-as-nscoloraddition-systemcolorchangereceiver) is now useful on Windows too, but only for system color palette and High Contrast Mode changes, not for Windows Dark Mode currently.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that currently Dark Mode and changes to and from it under Windows are not supported. It is rumored that Microsoft will change this in a coming Windows 10 release.
{% endhint %}

* `[win]` [SystemVersionIsAtLeast](/add-ons/cstruecolors/documentation/nscoloraddition.md#systemversionisatleast-majorversion-as-integer-minorversion-a-sinteger-0-patchversion-as-integer-0-as-boolean) works now for Windows too but checks against the system the app is manifested for.
* `[win]` 64 bit compatibility
* `[mac]` Removal of unused Windows parameters.

### Known problems

* `[win]` The controls window sometimes crashes during opening on Windows. This seems to be a beta bug caused by getting the ICON handle of an image for a repeated time.

## 1.0.1 - 2018-10-01

### Fixed

* Added a pragma to make the project work with Xojo < 2018r3.
