  • Resolved auto-grouping issue with Notepad and similar Store apps

  • Tweaked how some rules are linked to windows

  • Tooltip in Excel when resizing rows or selecting multiple rows should now not vanish when you have more than one Excel window in a Group

  • Added drop-down menu to new tab button and made new tab button show on all windows.  For those which do not support new tabs (or are unknown) it only shows a menu, otherwise, it is a split button keeping the new tab a one-click operation.

  • Added support to use Ctrl-N in apps that support creating new windows.  This will override whatever the app does.  Exclusions are possible by holding down shift when opening the Groupy menu and using the new menu item at the bottom of the menu.

  • UI option added to enable the Ctrl-N handling above

  • Buy link in UI fixed to open Groupy URL

  • Fixed issue with opening explorer windows maximized and them resizing to non maximized incorrectly

  • Now respects the exclusion list with the ungrouped window bar as well.

  • Adjusted bar painting when maximizing and restoring windows.

  • Added options to control the color of non-integrated tabs and the background bar.

  • Resolved a problem with the close button on the tab bar not being entirely clickable in some circumstances.

  • Dragging the groupy tab bar (not the ungrouped one) will now allow Windows Snap features to work in most cases. There may be some windows that do not support this or situations when using screen recording apps where it may not be enabled.

  • MS Edge saved apps will now save correctly in groups. You will need to resave existing groups that contain those apps.

  • New option to delete saved groups from the config window.

  • Inactive tabs for integrated tab mode now have slightly greyed-out text making them more obvious.

  • A number of fixes for tab text color when in light and dark mode.

  • When in no background tabs on top mode maximized active tabs will maintain the colored tab look rather than the non-colored look.

  • Clicking the settings icon in Notepad will no longer result in a tab mispaint on Windows 11.

  • Accent colors can now be saved for universal apps correctly.

  • Resolved a crash in Notepad when turning off Groupy.

  • New option to force Groupy to think a window is either Light or Dark mode. The setting is saved per process. This is useful for Terminal which tells Groupy it is in Dark mode always, or Spotify which has a dark window but is marked as a light mode window.

  • Resolved issue with Notepad not opening documents from Explorer as new tabs in Notepad when replacing native tabs is disabled in Groupy.

  • Adjusted Groupy bar border color on MS Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook to match those apps.

  • Added right-click menu on saved groups to offer access to directly edit the Groupy file or make it easier to access for support reasons.

  • Fixed the issue with clicking on the config window when the activation screen is up causing the activation screen to get stuck under the window on Windows 11.

  • Resolved issue with some UI parts not supporting translation correctly.

  • Altered how saved groups are launched to prevent multiple groups from being launched at once.

  • Altered how saved group rules work to prevent some leftover rules from being used in the future in error.

  • Resolved an issue with saving tab names for multiple identical processes in a single group not always saving correctly.

  • Added option when in always autohide tab mode to pin a specific group to be always visible.

  • Added an option to advanced UI settings to make tabs square for those who prefer that look.

  • Tweaked some taskbar handling to see if that helps with Start11 hanging the taskbar for some people.
