Winaero heeft versie 1.64 van zijn Tweaker-programma uitgebracht. Dit programma bevat een verzameling van 'tweaks' die de functionaliteit en het uiterlijk van bepaalde functies van Windows aan kunnen passen, zoals het aantal rijen en kolommen in de Alt+Tab-switcher, het aanpassen van het contextmenu of wat de extra functietoetsen op het keyboard doen. De changelog voor deze uitgave ziet er als volgt uit:
Disable Recommended in StartYou can now disable the Recommended section in the Start menu of Windows 11.
Remove "Ask copilot"Added the option to remove the Ask Copilot context menu. Navigate to Context menu > Remove default entries. There you will find the option.
Change Drive IconsAs many requested, I have added the option to change drive icons. You can set a custom icon for any drive letter, regardless of the drive type. And you can set a new default icon for "hard drive". The latter will be used for any non-customized partition letter. The option is in the "File Explorer" section on the left.
User Interface ImprovementsAs you have already noticed, Winaero Tweaker now supports the dark theme. On Windows 11 and Windows 10 it can follow the system preference. On Windows 8/7 you can select the color mode you like from the app settings.
Font sizeOne of the most requested features was the ability to change the app's font. Many considered app's font tiny, and this was actually true. Initially, I designed it to follow system DPI scaling, it this was working for some time. At some point, it has become broken, so the font remained very small on HiDPI screens. I have fixed (I hope so) the scaling. In addition, I have added a manual option that allows you to drastically increase the font. It is in settings. Here are font size samples.
Icon scalingThe icons in the left area used to appear blurry on HiDPI screens. I have finally changed that. Now they look crisp and sharpen.
FixesI have done a number of fixes for various options of the app. Some were broken in recent Windows 11 versions, some were broken due to bugs introduced by me.
Known issues/Upcoming changes
- Fixed: After you change "Disable Windows Update" it doesn't appear in "Recent Changes".
- "Disable Defender" now correctly reports its status (Disabled/Enabled) on 24H2/25H2. Also, the tweak now reloads its page when you disable Tamper Protection. You no longer need to re-open the page manually.
- Fixed "Disable Copilot" that was adding the dword value to a wrong Registry key.
- "Inactive titlebar color" now applies correctly on Windows 11, and on Windows 10 22H2. It now checks if the Accent color is enabled for window titlebar, and enables it if not.
- Fixed the broken "Disable Lock screen" on Windows 11.
- Fixed the XMouse options: The settings now save correctly and instantly apply on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. Also, the initial window tracking value was set to 1 millisecond instead of 1 second; I have fixed that.
- Hide the "Home" folder from File Explorer now works in recent Windows 11 versions. It did nothing say on Windows 11 25H2.
- Fixed "Ads and unwanted app". Its main checkbox had incorrect state and couldn't check/uncheck all checkboxes, and could not reflect the correct status.
- Fixed the layout of the "Disable Ribbon in File Explorer" tweak. Its buttons were misaligned.
- Revised tweaks. The app doesn't show tweaks that stopped working or aren't actual in Win11 24H2/25H2 with recent updates. You no longer need Cortana-related options, "enable classic Paint", and so on.
- Fixed "Add copilot to Desktop context menu". The Copilot now is a standalone app, not an Edge page.
- Fixed "Add Snipping Tool to Desktop context menu" on Windows 11. It literally stopped working in Windows 11 25H2 (or maybe earlier), so I re-created it.
- Fixed "Settings" desktop context menu on Windows 11.
I didn't include the following changes in this release:
- The toolbar icons still appear blurry.
- The icons in the "Information" page still appear blurry
- The "Disable Windows Update" page is supposed to allow you to choose the method to use.
