β¨ New Features
- Choose what middle-clicking a dock icon does
- Pick from Quit, Force Quit, Hide, Minimize All, Close All Windows, New Window, Show Window Previews, Show in Finder, Relaunch, or nothing in Settings > Interactions > Middle Click Action
- The default is still Quit, and if you had middle-click-to-quit turned off before, middle click stays off
- Your choice also works on apps inside group panels, and closing actions close minimized-window tiles
- Hide running apps on specific dock profiles
- Settings > Dock > Running App Options > Hide on Dock Profiles picks which profiles hide unpinned running apps
- Handy for keeping one minimal profile for presentations and a full one for everyday work
- Choose how panels animate in
- Settings > Interactions > Panel Animation Style: Scale (the default), Fade, Slide, or Instant
- Custom icons and name highlights for app groups
- Select a group in Settings > Dock and pick a custom icon in place of the mini-grid of member apps
- The Custom Icon Scale slider now applies to group icons too
- Turn on Highlight App Name for a group to tint the panel's app name with colors from that app's icon
- Launching apps appear in the dock right away
- An app's icon joins the running row with a native-style bounce the moment it starts, before its first window opens
- Confirmation before removing dock items or ungrouping
- On by default; turn it off with Confirm Before Removing Items in Settings > Interactions > Click Behavior
- Hide pinned apps from the Open Apps shelf
- Turn on Hide Pinned Apps in Settings > File Tray > Open Apps so each app appears only once

- Control it with the new Include Maximized Windows toggle under Hide in Fullscreen in Settings > General, on by default
- New Icon Row Padding slider
- Adds breathing room at both ends of the app icons row, separate from icon spacing and edge padding
- Ranges from 0 to 48 in Settings > Appearance under Adjust spacing

β¨ New Features
- New Bounce magnification style
- Icons hop like a bouncy ball as your cursor crosses them, instead of growing
- Pick it in Settings > Appearance > Magnification; a Bounce Height slider controls the hop
- Continue Handoff activities from the dock
- When a nearby iPhone or iPad offers an activity (like a Safari page or Mail draft), a tile appears at the start of the dock with the app's icon and a small device badge
- On by default; toggle with Show Handoff in Settings > Dock > Content
- Turn the shelf off, or pick which pages it has
- Exclude apps from window previews
- Settings > Previews > Shared > Excluded Apps; remove apps individually or Clear All
- Drop dragged files onto a specific window
- Choose Show App ExposΓ© as the "Dropping Files on the Dock" behavior in Settings; dropping straight on the icon still opens the file with that app
- Speed up every animation, all the way to instant
- A new Animation Speed slider goes from 1x to 4x; at 4x animations are skipped entirely so everything appears instantly
- Settings > Interactions > Gestures; also findable by searching "animation speed" in Settings

- Put running apps at the dock's edges
- In taskbar mode, the running apps section can sit at the far left or right instead of the centered row; use its Edge picker or drag it there

- Pick Apple Calendar, Fantastical, BusyCal, or any installed calendar app in the calendar and daily agenda widget options
- Click the widget to open your calendar app, or click a selected day to jump straight to that date
- Choose window preview quality versus memory (ported from DockDoor free)
- A Capture Quality picker offers Best quality for full Retina sharpness or Improved performance (the default) for lower memory use
- An Image Resolution Scale slider (1 to 4, default 1) shrinks thumbnails further to save memory
- Both live in Settings > Previews > Performance and are findable in Settings search
- New Window button for window previews (ported from DockDoor free)
- Brings the app forward and asks it for a new window (some apps open a new document or message instead)
- Enable it in the preview action picker in Settings; a one-time explanation appears when you turn it on
- Set the dock's position from AppleScript or Terminal
- Choose bottom, left, or right for all displays or one, and use "default" to clear a display's override
- For example, run
osascript -e 'tell application "DockDoor Pro" to set dock position "left"', adding for display "Built-in Display" to target one screen
π§ Improvements & Stability
- Folder and app group panels now fit their contents
- A few items sit in a single row; larger collections grow into a wider grid, and very large ones scroll with softly faded edges instead of flipping through pages

- Windows adjust the moment you change overlap settings
- Turning on dock overlap avoidance or its flush option repositions all open windows immediately

Version 0.0.140 (2026-07-02)

- All built-in widgets support it; marketplace widgets must declare support
- If you ever go back to an older app version, your stacks are kept and shown at the Double size instead of being lost
