Hey everyone! 👋
Quick patch to fix the crash some users were hitting on the newer Windows 11 builds (25H2 and 26H1).
🙏 Special Thanks
This bug was caught by @nikkey.1989 from our community, who shared a detailed error report (including the exact memory address). That report let me pinpoint and fix the issue within minutes. Feedback like this is genuinely gold for a solo dev — thank you! 🎯
🐛 Fixed
- DockBar crashing a few seconds after launch
- "Application Error — memory cannot be read" popup
- Crash when no media was playing
🔧 What Changed
- Full compatibility with the Windows media API (SMTC) — added null checks for the new silent-null behavior on recent Windows builds
- Extra safety guards on multi-monitor detection
- Last-resort error handlers — even if something unexpected happens, the bar now stays alive instead of crashing
💡 Note
When no media app is playing, DockBar now simply shows "no media" instead of crashing.
Enjoy!
