Thaw 1.1.99-beta.11

15 March 2026

For macOS 14 and 15Downloads on GitHub

Hello everyone,

this is beta.11 which mainly updates translations and fixes some issues with disappearing icons.

Menu Bar Reliability & Performance

This beta focuses on resolving issues with third-party menu bar items becoming "blocked" or invisible, alongside performance optimizations to reduce interaction latency.

Improvements & Fixes

  • Menu Bar Recovery: Fixed a critical issue where third-party items (like SwiftBar) could become permanently invisible by getting stuck at off-screen coordinates.
  • Smart Relocation: Removed bundle ID pinning to ensure new menu bar items are automatically moved to the visible section instead of being blocked in hidden sections.
  • Termination Cleanup: The app now automatically restores items stuck in a "blocked" state (x=-1) to the visible section upon quitting.
  • Move Validation: Added background safeguards to detect and recover items that fail to move correctly into hidden sections.
  • Reduced Latency: Optimized click interactions by removing redundant window lookups, eliminating unnecessary Window Server IPC round-trips.

Localization

  • Updated: Russian, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.
