🚨 New bits dropped! Download on GitHub, as always: https://t.co/FrGIH5ASFG

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

Big release coming soon with lots of fixes and improvements! 👀

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

Docs and more samples are coming soon, and we will continue to add functionality from Cairo to ManagedShell where it makes sense!

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

📢 Building a shell replacement is a lot of work, and significant R&D has gone into making Cairo a viable shell alternative. That’s why we are releasing ManagedShell: A library for creating Windows shell replacements using .NET, based on Cairo. https://t.co/VM6IyIOMN5

@TwistedZeon Thanks! I can reproduce the issue with Steam as well and will look into it.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@simpson_mike @SwiftOnSecurity We're still around! The current release is available from https://t.co/sOgJfqt4d8 if you'd like to check it out again :)

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@tofutech1 That does look nice 👀 We do not currently have a user-created theme repo, but we do have plans for one. If you would like, you may open an issue in our issue tracker (https://t.co/QfyMv7jInf) with your theme attached so we can be sure to add it when the solution is ready.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@TwistedZeon Thanks for the report! You can track resolution here: https://t.co/5LIZi42d4z

Regarding the system tray icon issue, what apps are you having that problem with? Did the issue persist after a logoff/logon?

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

We’ve made a lot of compatibility improvements in the latest release—check it out and let us know what you think!

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@nit_witless We have support for showing Cairo's menu bar and taskbar on the primary display, or on all displays. Currently there is no way to use the Windows taskbar on only one monitor, but you can disable Cairo's taskbar altogether.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@brekcut The next update will have support for wallpaper on all monitors! Wallpaper Engine has not been tested, but we do have built-in video wallpaper support.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@SketchFileGame Any specific functionality you’re looking for?

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

Cairo’s taskbar has learned some new tricks: thumbnails, progress bars, improved autohide, and more! Check for updates or visit our website to grab the latest version. https://t.co/V7Inzx5jca

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@SamAutistic This tends to happen when another process on the system is leaking objects. A restart should resolve the error.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

We have just released a new version with a ton of new features and reliability improvements! Check for updates from the Cairo menu, or check out our web page to download: https://t.co/sOgJfqbsOy

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@TwistedZeon Could you please try the latest release? This should be fixed (for real) now.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@DIOGOTC1 There is not currently, but if you have one to share, we’d love to see it! We may add a themes repository on GitHub to allow easier theme discovery and sharing in the future.

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

@DIOGOTC1 Feel free to open up an issue on GitHub, we are all ears! https://t.co/jhGscghPvI

[Cairo Shell Devs @cairoshell]

We’ve been busy improving the taskbar and adding other features to Cairo! To get the latest, check for updates, or download: https://t.co/zfAlwl4vAs
