Introduces a new Big Picture Mode with a controller-friendly, console-style UI optimized for Steam Deck and handheld devices. Adds new renderer files (HTML, CSS, JS) for the mode, updates main and preload scripts to support window management and IPC for Big Picture Mode, and documents features and usage in BIG_PICTURE_MODE.md. Updates settings and navigation to allow launching and exiting Big Picture Mode.
Introduces new color properties for the URL bar and tab strip in all themes, updates the theme system and CSS to support these, and ensures the renderer applies the correct colors to the main UI. This allows each theme to fully customize the appearance of the URL bar and tabs for a more cohesive look.
Implements a full downloads manager with Electron main process handling, IPC APIs, and renderer integration. Adds a dedicated downloads page, a mini downloads popup in the navigation bar with progress ring, and controls for pausing, resuming, canceling, opening, and showing downloads. Updates styles and navigation to support the new downloads features.
Significantly updates renderer/style.css to introduce a modern, glassy chrome look with gradients, blur, and accent colors. Adds accessible focus rings, improved button and tab styles, and enhanced visual contrast when the Home view is active. Also increases the overlay z-index in home.css to ensure popups appear above other UI elements. Updates site-history.json with recent YouTube URLs.
Adds early enabling of WebAuthn and platform authenticator features in Chromium via command line switches, and injects diagnostics to check availability in the renderer. CSS z-index values are increased for navigation and menu elements to ensure proper layering above <webview> surfaces. Updates Electron to 37.3.1 and expands site-history.json with additional authentication-related URLs.
Updated window options in main.js to use a hidden, transparent title bar on macOS, allowing for a custom header in the renderer. Added CSS to designate draggable regions and opt-out for interactive controls, improving window drag usability while maintaining clickable elements.
Implements FLIP (First, Last, Invert, Play) animations for tab reordering, opening, and closing in the tab bar. Tabs now animate smoothly when added, removed, or reordered, improving visual feedback and user experience. CSS classes and keyframes for enter and exit transitions are introduced, and the tab rendering logic is updated to measure and animate tab positions.
Enhances the tab strip with ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and improved drag-and-drop reordering. Refactors tab rendering for better accessibility, adds dedicated new-tab button, and updates styles for a more modern look and clearer tab controls.
Ensure the webviews container is visible when converting a home tab to a webview, and activate the converted tab in the UI. Also, update webview CSS to set width and height to 100% for better layout consistency.
