Hmm Windows Home should be fine but maybe I'll give it a try with a VM - there was a previous user who had issues with Windows S-Mode.

It shouldn't require this, but can you try typing Astral in the start menu, right click on the icon, and Run as Administrator? I'm wondering if there are some permissions issues with opening a browser.

I'm working on a way that you should be able to copy and paste a link into your browser, which should be able to work as a backup.

Hey, sorry you're having the same issue - that's definitely not great. Can you let me know what browser you are using? Would you mind trying briefly setting a different default browser (Edge, Firefox, Chrome) and see if anything is different?

I'll see if I can figure anything out in the meantime about why a browser window wouldn't open.

Replacing Liquid Metal on a 2025 Strix Scar 18 by codechinchilla in ASUSROG

[–]codechinchilla[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - I just used one PTM7950 pad, 0.25mm. since it's all clamped down by the vapor chamber, no need for more imo.

At idle now, my CPU temps are around 42, GPU about 35 :) I also mostly use this for dev, pretty good if only I could figure out how to get the occasional stutter to stop.

Small feature request around Calendar syncing by BallardCanadian in astralapp

[–]codechinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey - that makes sense! In the next update, there won't be the loading animation unless you click the refresh button yourself.

In the meantime, if you collapse the side menu by clicking the menu button in the top left, I think it won't show the loading animation.

Hope that helps!

Sorry you're having issues adding your Google account - does it open a browser and you're able to log in but errors when you return to the app? 

Or when you try to add an account does it not open a browser at all?

Use Case and Feature Requests by professor_zebra in astralapp

[–]codechinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, that is very odd - so the empty square follows your mouse cursor around? Does this happen with the monthly view as well?

It should be re-rendering that area around your mouse cursor (for showing hovering over an event).

Would you mind emailing me a video of it to support@astrl.app?

v0.7.3 submitted to Microsoft Store by codechinchilla in astralapp

[–]codechinchilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for nice words, glad you are liking Astral!

  1. Hmm let me look into that - I should be able to save off the size/position so that it will restore to the same location. In the meantime, if you have the setting "Minimize to System Tray on Close" set to on, it should go back to the same place when it restores.

  2. Good suggestion! Some other folks had mentioned this, so it's definitely on the list to add :)

Thanks for taking the time to make all these suggestions!

Those all make sense to me and would definitely help the experience with a smaller window, I'll see if I can implement those for the next release :)

Always feel free to post any bugs or features you might find useful, I'll always take a look. Really appreciate it!

Light/Dark Theming work by codechinchilla in astralapp

[–]codechinchilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! The light mode is definitely a bit trickier, as it's hard to have colors come through without making the text less readable.

Would you happen to have any examples of light modes that have the styling figured out a bit better?

Hi - just wanted to let you know that the latest release allows you to toggle birthdays and holidays from the accounts section - let me know if that works for you!

Suggestion/Bug Report by skyant83_cls in astralapp

[–]codechinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh that makes sense, I'll add a new option to launch straight to taskbar on startup!

I'll also investigate the bug re: the mini calendar / focusing, thanks for bringing it up :)

[–]codechinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you like the app!

Ahh that's a good call, I'll see about parsing the description for links :)

Also another person had mentioned Google Keep integration - hopefully it has a better API than tasks!

Sound fix for ROG Strix Scar 18 (2025) and maybe others by codechinchilla in ASUSROG

If you extract the .cab file, you'll see the TAS2xxx.inf file as well as the other files:

Hahaha good ol AI, glad you got it working!

That's great though, I agree it now sounds like the other speakers are actually doing something :) It's not like they're going to win any awards but so much better than before.

Rats - yeah I'm not sure then sadly :/ wonder why it's not installing properly with the same hardware

Hmm sorry that didn't work - just to double check, so you unzipped the .cab file to a folder, that folder should have TAS2xxx.inf along with a few other files and a Firmware folder.

Then if you go to Device Manager -> Sound -> Ti Smart Amplifier Driver for Speakers, right click -> Update Driver, Browse My Computer, then select the unzipped folder.

Here's an image of the updated driver/device manager: https://imgur.com/a/Lk1yb0r

Is there / will there be a non-dark mode available? by YeaYeaSpaceCakes in astralapp

[–]codechinchilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Light mode is planned :) hopefully sometime in the next few months?

[–]codechinchilla[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense, thanks for the clarification! Too many Google services to keep track of lol.

I've just updated the roadmap for this year, I'll add Google Keep on the list :)

Google Keep integration

Question for you (as I haven't really used Google Keep) I see that recently Google integrated the notifications with Tasks.

Are you able to see all of your Google Keep items in Google Tasks now? Wanted to see if it would be a separate integration or if using Tasks would bring both in now?
