Friday, February 28th, 2025 @3:30PM,   Releases

The latest release of xBar for Windows introduces refinements that improve usability and efficiency. This update enhances drag-and-drop behavior, optimizes animations, and improves widget responsiveness—providing a smoother, more intuitive experience.

What’s New in Version 2.0.2502.28:

  • More Intuitive Drag-and-Drop Behavior – When xBar is set to auto-hide, dragging files or folders from the Desktop or Explorer now triggers its display, allowing users to drop items into the Shortcuts Widget or the Drives & Folders Widget.
  • Improved Visibility for Insertion Line – When repositioning shortcuts within the Shortcuts Widget or Drives & Folders Widget, the insertion line is now easier to see for better placement accuracy.
  • Smoother Slide-Out & Slide-In Animations – xBar’s animations have been refined with better easing effects, resulting in a more fluid experience when opening and closing the bar.
  • Improved Widget Responsiveness – Background updates to widgets (clock, system info, sensors) now happen more smoothly, preventing potential lag or freezes.
  • Additional Small Tweaks – Various refinements enhance overall convenience, efficiency, and usability.

A single end-user license (includes two installs) is available for just $9.95. You can try xBar for FREE with a fully functional, nag-screen-free 30-day trial—no registration required. As always, updates and upgrades are free for registered users.
