SideSlide full changelog

A major upgrade introducing dozens of bug fixes, enhanced features, new key functionalities, the Dock Strip, Icon-Only Mode, live Weather support, and much faster startup and performance.
Dock Strip:
Replaces the old "Tab" mode with a much more functional Dock Strip. View key system information, weather, and more, while easily accessing your workspace through the Dock Strip.
Now supports all Title Bar macros, including CPU usage, memory, battery info, date/time, and more.
Adds support for live weather information, configurable via the new Weather Panel in Settings ? Weather.
Works both vertically or horizontally and can be enlarged.
Enabled by default for new installations and upgrades (can be disabled in Settings ? Dock ? Style).
The previous collapsed state is now called Line Mode, available in small, normal, and large sizes.
The "Flash" indicator for Line Mode now supports large dock lines.
Dock Strip and Dock Line colors can be set independently from workspace background and foreground colors.
Multiple updates were made to the Dock settings to support this feature.
Icon-Only Mode:
Major UI improvement: hide shortcut labels and show icons only for a more compact, modern workspace.
Quickly toggle with Ctrl + I or via the Shortcut Mini-Toolbar.
Create a grid of shortcut icons using the new menu option or the Ctrl + Shift + G shortcut.
Many fixes for icon drop locations and keyboard navigation to accommodate the new Icon Only mode.
Weather Panel:
Access from Settings ? Weather.
Set your location using GPS latitude/longitude (findable via Google Maps).
Choose weather attributes like temperature, humidity, wind speed, rain, etc.
Supports metric and imperial units.
The weather can be displayed in the title bar or on the new Dock Strip using the %WEATHER% macro.
Weather data is provided free by open-meteo.com.
New and Improved Functionality:
Icon cache: Much faster workspace load and initial container expansion due to new caching mechanism (choose be

Fixed issues that were introduced in the previous beta release:
Fixed an issue where the workspace might briefly freeze after startup.
Fixed an issue where the container note indicator button color wasn't correctly restored after deselection.
Fixed an issue where selected shortcuts were executed when dragging a non-selected shortcut into an executable. This will now only occur if the dragged shortcut is also selected (Reminder: Drag shortcuts to activate with others by grabbing the shortcut's icon).
Other changes and new features:
Command-line Shortcuts: Added an option in the Shortcut Properties dialog to keep the command prompt window open after the command is executed. Additionally, the command input box is now larger, making it easier to enter multiple commands (separate commands with a double ampersand: &&).
The /loadrss command-line option now populates RSS feeds only after the workspace has fully loaded, unlike before when it happened during the splash screen. The process can be aborted with the Esc key, and shortcuts remain functional while the feeds are loading.

Improvements and fixes:
- Multiple changes and fixes to arranging shortcuts in columns within the workspace and within different containers with the mouse and when using the Ctrl key + Arrow keys to move shortcuts.
- Added 'Subtle Game' color scheme and buttons. All the different color schemes are included in the software itself, and you can also download themes (which include wallpapers and different title-bar buttons) from the Tour page.
- Removed leading zero from the 12-hour time format.
- Fixed RSS Viewer loading bug.
- Fixed shortcut icon visibility issue in the Keyboard Launcher when launching shortcuts with additional custom parameters (shortcut name + space/tab + parameters).

- New! Windows Environment Variables (%temp%, %path%, %anything_else%) are now expanded and processed when used as parameters for shortcuts. These variables can also be entered or modified by using the "Prompt for Parameters" option (Select a shortcut → Shortcut Properties → Prompt for Parameters).
- New! Added support for the 24-hour clock format for reminders and when Date/Time is shown in the title-bar. This can be configured via the "24-hour" option within the Reminder dialog.
- New! Introduced the ability to define a custom title for the workspace. This feature is particularly useful when managing multiple workspaces concurrently (using multiple portable versions. See the Tour page for more). The custom title can be set under "Settings → General → Title Bar → Custom"
- Enhancement: When dragging shortcuts across the workspace using the shortcut's name label, holding the [Alt] key will display the shortcut's x/y coordinates in the title bar.
