Hi everyone,

I just released DP Version 1.18.0.

Update Summary:

News:
- New Hotkeys feature for your Configurations
- New Toggle All Panels feature to show/hide all panels with a hotkey

Updates:
- Desktop Panels now stores the settings differently. This means the current settings are all reset with this update.
- The Current Panels page will now show a scrollbar when it's needed.

Fixes:
- Fixed the bug where Click-Through panels don't get click-through when loading a config
- Fixed the bug where you couldn't click on the initial config in its empty state

The highlight of this update is the new hotkey feature.
This feature allows you to create hotkeys for all of your configurations.
Here is a gif to visualize it.

The new Hotkeys section inside the settings page


It may look complex at first, but it is really simple to use. Let me explain.

The dropdown menu on the top contains all of your configurations. From there, you can select the configuration for which you want to set a hotkey. The ADD HOTKEY Button on the top-right side then adds a hotkey entry.

After you add the hotkey, you can record the keys for it by clicking on the record button on the right side of the entry. Then, with the checkbox on the left side, you can enable/disable the hotkey.

At this point, I guess you already know where to click to delete a hotkey :)

Also, there is one "Toggle all Panels" named hotkey, which cannot be deleted. This hotkey is quickly to toggle the visibility of the current panels on your desktop.

You are probably wondering why there are these brackets '[ ]' everywhere.
You may already know this, but DP allows you have multiple configurations with the same name.
The name inside the brackets is the name of the folder where the configuration resides.
Since the folder names must be unique, it is used in the brackets to make it easier to identify the configurations.

About the development:
Besides bug fixes and updates, I will now start implementing the Steam Workshop functionality.

The visuals (including the trailer video) on the shop page of DP are very old and mostly outdated. So I will now also take the time to replace them with better/newer ones.

Thanks again for using Desktop Panels.

Have a nice day.
