🌠 Tab Favicons added to Webdock Groups.
We've added favicons to Group icons!
Previously, when adding a new group just with tabs, the webdock icon would show a default cover - a bit dull, really! To brighten things up, it now grabs favicons from the first four tabs to display in the grid. With this update, you'll also notice that any groups with three apps now display a tab favicon as the fourth icon in the grid.
🌠 Try it out: Search settings for "Grid view for groups of multiple items" and change this to "apps & tabs". Click on + in the webdock to create a new group and select 'Start with just tabs'. As you add tabs, the favicons will appear in the webdock icon.
⭐️ Easier Flow to Create Custom Apps.
It's now even easier to create a custom app.
We've made creating your custom apps from the webdock/tabstrip + icons easier. Examples could be your company website or business intranet. Custom apps look and behave like apps added from our App Store. However, notifications and badges may not be possible for some URLs.
⭐️ Try it out: Click on the + icon in the webdock to create a new Group and paste any URL into the form field. Then click the 'Create a Custom App' option and follow the steps.
🚀 What is an app? Apps are boosted tabs with unique features like 🔔notifications, badges, a 📛permanent icon 💤custom sleep settings, etc. You can create an app from anything with a URL, with right-clicking 'Boost into App' being the easiest way to make one from any tab.
Other Notable Updates.
🪐 Spaces: Updated Links for the Burger Menu.
Spaces are the secret sauce that makes Wavebox, Wavebox and in this latest release, we've sprinkled some extra space dust on the main window Burger Menu to ensure that tabs opened from there are now space-ially aware😝 and inherit from the current active space.
🚀 Under the Hood: Efficiency Improvements.
Wavebox is renowned for its exceptional stability and performance on Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, there's always room for improvement! In this latest release, we have implemented a feature that suspends inactive tab groups when 'Energy Saver' mode is activated in the Settings. To enable this feature, navigate to 'Settings > Sleep > Sleep Tabs when Memory is Low.'
