New Window Design

Borderless, modern window: Instead of the standard Windows title bar, we designed our own — logo + application name in the top center, custom minimize / maximize / close buttons on the right (close button turns red on hover). Draggable from the title bar, double-click to maximize, resizable from the corners.

Interface & Appearance

Modern color picker: Color/brightness square + hue slider + hex input box + preset colors.

Notes are now written in the theme color (orange in Carbon, blue in Graphite, etc.).

System tray right-click menu is now compatible with the selected theme.

Language selection list no longer covers the entire screen; it opens in a fixed size, scrollable window from where it is clicked.

Opacity slider knob is no longer cut off, works smoothly; fixed stuttering while dragging.

Languages

Favorite language system: A ❤ next to each language in the list — click to make it a favorite (red) and move it to the top; quick access for long lists.

Full Screen Translation

Instead of many small boxes, each text block is shown in a neat bubble above its position.

"Translating..." indicator: A modern indicator in the top right of the active monitor while waiting for translation (can be toggled on/off).

Instant Subtitle

The subtitle box is now draggable, its position is permanently remembered, and a "reset position" button has been added.

Fixed box jumping and stuttering (stable position + opacity-based capturing).

OCR (Screen Capture)

Background opacity fixed — OCR now has a separate, independent opacity setting.

Modern bubble (rounded corners, shadowed text), transparency works correctly.

OCR speeded up (downscaling large regions + discarding unnecessary data).

Performance & Startup

Heavy translation modules not used at startup are not loaded → faster startup.
