Wow - thank you so much for the feedback. Let me go through this.

1. That might be a good idea. Do you think adjusting the size of the bar from the settings makes it any better?

2. That seems like a bug. There's glass theme for Tahoe - but I think restarting boringBar might help here. I'll check it out.

3. Fair. I did not think of this use case.

4. Thumbnails have a blue hue for active windows as of now. Could you please let me know how this could work better?

5. Right now the Tahoe glass/frosted switch only works on the bar. A glass revamp is in the works for people who like the Liquid Glass design language.

6. I faced the opposite issue to this during my testing - the thumbnails opened up fairly quickly in my case. I'll take note of it and will fix it in later versions.

7. Correct - first time is slower because of the excessively large number of apps. I'll try to reproduce this.

9. Good idea. Will implement this as well.

10. If you hover on the thumbnail window the close and minimize buttons will show up. Are you talking about the ability to quit the app and all of its windows entirely?

1. It wouldn't in this specific case. The photo is of a sunset and the ground in the foreground is completely black for about 20% of the bottom due to contrast with the sun.

2. Still holds after multiple relaunches. Strange.

3. Cool. Looking forward to it!

4. I guess my system is causing multiple GUI bugs to present. I don't see a blue highlight when I mouse-over thumbnails.

10. Oh, I'm a dope. I even referenced the traffic light controls earlier in the comment. It somehow sailed over my head that the thing I was asking for was right there. Just tried it and it worked. However, I closed the only open window for an app and that thumbnail remained after the window was gone and the app had exited. That doesn't seem correct to me. But yes it's implemented and I got stupid for a moment while poking around.

One other thing that I noticed after exiting the app was that all the windows that had been minimized to the Dock were no longer minimized. That's a tiny papercut. Minimizing windows is a form of window management and everything got reset. Not the end of the world, but unexpected and mildly disrupting.
