New Features

Auto-hide
Enable in Settings. The bar hides after a delay you choose (5–60 seconds) and stays open while the Settings panel is active.

Mouse Hover to Show
Move your cursor to the top edge of the screen to instantly reveal the bar.

Peek Notification
The bar briefly appears for 8 seconds when a track changes or a Pomodoro session ends.

Fullscreen Detection
The bar automatically hides in fullscreen games and apps — including borderless windowed mode. It returns the moment you exit fullscreen. Maximized windows are no longer mistakenly treated as fullscreen.

Taskbar Control
A new toggle lets you remove DockBar from the taskbar entirely. The app will only appear in the system tray.

Liquid Glass Theme
Apple-inspired translucent glass aesthetic powered by Windows Acrylic blur. Your wallpaper shows through the bar, and blur intensity is fully adjustable.

Bar Color
Choose from black (default) or 8 accent colors for the bar background. Pair with the Glass theme for a tinted glass effect.

Bar Opacity
Fine-tune bar transparency anywhere from 30% to 100%.

Widget Background Darkness
Independently control how dark widget backgrounds appear — especially useful for maintaining readability with the Glass theme enabled.

Accent Color System
Pick from 8 preset colors. Your selection applies instantly across the entire UI — sliders, icons, buttons, and more.

Music Progress Bar
A track progress bar now shows elapsed and total time. Long-form content displays in hours:minutes:seconds format.

Position Memory
DockBar remembers its position and reopens exactly where you left it after a restart.

Improvements

- Artwork updates during track transitions are now significantly more reliable
- Fixed an issue where the Settings panel could close unexpectedly while adjusting sliders
- Internal code cleanup and performance optimizations
- All new features are fully localized in 9 languages: Turkish, English, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and Russian

Known Limitations

DockBar does not play music — it controls whatever music app is already running on your system (Spotify, Windows Media Player, Foobar2000, etc.). Simply open your audio files in any media player and DockBar will detect them automatically.
