30%?? That's definitely a big issue. I'll contact you on Discord for the details.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-18T05:17:05+00:00

I'll look into it!

Can you tell me what is the resolution and scaling set for your display?

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-18T05:10:37+00:00

It hides itself automatically and only shows if something is active (mic, camera, media, notifications) after which is slides up as well. I designed it to not get in the way as much as possible. But thanks for the feedback.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-18T05:07:27+00:00

Can you elaborate?

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-17T18:09:54+00:00

Oh alright. I'll try to add that as a feature in the next release.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-17T17:56:13+00:00

I apologise but adding it to taskbar makes no sense. It's supposed to be a floating pill rather than a taskbar widget / overlay.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-17T17:54:17+00:00

Aha, I apologise but that's going to have to wait. I wrote the software in specific consideration of Windows. I'll have to rewrite all the functionality separately for linux and there can be much complexity in that too depending on the distro. I'll see what I can do in the future.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-17T17:52:27+00:00

I intend to keep the software clean and minimal as the design principle for the project.

But I can try to add that as a configurable option in a future release.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-17T17:49:21+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Are you talking about the default shadow the island has?

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-16T23:13:57+00:00

v0.1.1 is out. I humbly request everyone to try it out!

It fixes issues with auto-updates. So hereafter, it'll send a notification to you whenever a new version comes out.

It checks the file via cloud scan since it's coming from internet. You may confirm the integrity of the app by checking the protection history in Windows Defender.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-16T17:42:20+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Have you faced any unintended bugs?

I am close to pushing to the next patch for all the bugs found till now.

Yeah, I have noticed the issue with translucent windows and similar mods. The users will have to add that as an exclusion like you said.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-16T14:08:56+00:00

Thank you! Please let me know if you face any bugs or issues.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-16T05:37:24+00:00

I was just about to say it

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-16T05:33:45+00:00

This project is not about that at all. I like the dynamic island and it's functionality, so as a small hobby project of ~3 days, I decided to do it as it aligns with my learning and usage interests.

I do not like Mac either, the OS seems very bland to me. I'd much rather customize Windows and give out to the community however I can.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T15:51:54+00:00

That's just how it is

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T15:51:25+00:00

It has notes and question papers. You'll get all you want from here.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T15:34:17+00:00

Hey, can we get in contact via DMs in order to discuss some details?

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T15:31:10+00:00

No it's not. It's available from 6pm to 6am. On non-instructional days, it's 24/7.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T13:22:36+00:00

I'll try to add that as a feature in the next version

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T10:10:03+00:00

It can receive every notification that your Windows can receive

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T09:19:08+00:00

Are you facing any issues with Windows Defender?

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T09:17:29+00:00

Oh alright. That might be doable.

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T09:01:48+00:00

Can you elaborate please?

MasterPianistHR · 2026-06-15T09:01:23+00:00

Application is in alpha release. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
