The add-on reached version 0.29, bringing a series of novelties, in addition to bug fixes. Especially in this version, improvements were made to the color picker, FancyZones – which helps manage custom multi-window modes – and PowerToys Run, a more streamlined Run command.

  • Several location improvements.
