New in KeyCastr 0.9.12 (Feb 22, 2022)
- This release introduces a long-awaited mouse click visualizer (#168). A new modern app icon is introduced, courtesy of @QuintB , and the ShortcutRecorder framework is updated which fixes a long-standing issue with Dark Mode in the preferences pane.
- As an MVP, the mouse click visualization can be combined with either existing visualizer or any new visualizer, displaying a disappearing ring animation when the mouse is clicked. This is very similar to the effect of adding mouse clicks to screen capture videos in macOS, with the benefit of displaying in real time. The color of the ring animation will match the current Default visualizer bezel color, though this will likely change to be configurable in an upcoming release.
