BetterTrumpet v3.2.0
Media popup
- Native acrylic surface - The media popup now uses the same translucent Windows acrylic styling as the main flyout.
- Smoother playback timeline - The timecode interpolates locally between Windows media updates and supports reliable click and drag seeking.
- Per-app volume - The popup volume control now adjusts only the app that owns the active media session.
- Polished transitions - Track, artwork, accent color, and expand or collapse transitions are smoother and avoid first-use stalls.
- Paused-session access - An optional setting allows opening the popup while media is paused so playback can be resumed directly.
- Refined controls - Compact Phosphor Bold icons and action-oriented expand and collapse chevrons improve clarity.
Audio controls
- Volume sound feedback - The volume tick can be disabled from settings, is now fully localized, and is preserved by settings export and import.
- Persistent hard mute - Apps can be marked to stay muted whenever their audio sessions appear, including after relaunch or reboot.
- Independent monitored inputs - Distinct recording devices using Windows Listen to this device are no longer merged into one system-sounds row when Windows exposes separate session groups.
- Smoother app feedback - Mute, solo-mute, hide, and app entrance animations have been refined.
Interface and reliability
- Tray menu polish - The tray context menu has clearer organization, localized labels, acrylic styling, and refined icons.
- Startup hardening - Tray icon initialization and launch-at-startup handling are more reliable on .NET 8.
- Diagnostics bundles - Manual troubleshooting and crash reporting now produce more useful support bundles with recent logs.
