The first release version is here!
The first release version, 1.0 is finally here with major changes.
Highlights
Now on Linux and macOS
Previously Rich Presence U was only compatible with Windows, but now it supports Linux and macOS!
Both Windows and Linux builds have been fully tested, but the macOS build is still considered experimental, as I personally haven’t been able to test it on a real macOS and couldn't find anyone who could help me with the testing.
Even better user interface
The interface has been extensively improved for better user experience:
- You can now freely resize the window and the main tabs will adapt to it.
- The scale of the UI, automatic refresh, theme and language can be set manually.
- Options and information are organized more clearly.
- Multiple options now have toggles that allow you to set their visibility in your status without having to modify their set configurations.
- There are new dialogs to help you if something doesn't go right.
Not to mention new animations I designed to make it even more pleasing to navigate the UI, and as an extra, the light theme has been reintroduced. 🌞️
Account sessions
Oh yes, this is something new that Discord has introduced, they now allow you to utilize multiple account sessions within a single app. To accommodate this change, Rich Presence U now keeps your activity status across multiple account sessions while running, you can reconnect at anytime by clicking on that big green button.
Party size
Exactly what the title of this section says. 💃️
Description history
Just like the option to see recently played games was introduced in the previous version, this new version introduces a menu for recently used descriptions.
And much more
I wanted to keep this post short, there are many other changes and additions introduced in this release, the changelog in its entirety can be read here
Although the app is now paid (as a mean of supporting my work), the code is still freely available on GitHub for anyone to compile.
