Dear all,
After a long time Sky Dolly v0.17 has been released, see all about the new features here:
To set expectations right: this is mostly a “polished release”, improving existing functionality, with little new features. And I haven’t been working on Sky Dolly all those months either - “life has happened”.
I have a little request to the community: as I am stuck on Windows 10 (respectively iMac / macOS ;)): could anyone quickly test whether the new “Windows 11” style is actually working, in the sense that it is visually distinct from the previous “Windows Vista” style and most importantly that it supports the “dark theme” settings? You need to enable “dark theme” in the Windows 11 system settings (Sky Dolly simply follows suit).
I expect the “Windows 11” style to be the default style on Windows 11 (naturally), but you can check in the Sky Dolly application settings, under “User Interface” (it will say “Default” initially, but that should be the same as explicitly selecting “Windows 11”).
Windows 10 users have to choose “Fusion” if they want dark theme support: the default “Windows Vista” style does not support dark theme, due to “win32 API limitations”. And while the “Windows 11” style is seemingly selectable it won’t work: on Windows 10 it will fall back to the “Windows Vista” style (that admitedly looks more “Windows-y” than the platform-independent “Fusion” style).
→ So if any Windows 11 user could post a screenshot of the main Sky Dolly window with “Windows 11” style, preferrably with dark mode enabled (or both, for comparison) , that would be great!
Happy flying!
