What’s new.
- A new Skylit app icon: the satin graphite cube in your Dock, plus matching satin logos on every tab.
- Open Skylit in multiple windows: drag a tab off the tab bar into its own window, or onto another window to move it there. Every window comes back when you reopen Skylit.
- Always on Top now applies to each window on its own.
- If an update can’t install, Skylit now says why and offers the fix.
- Each tab now keeps its own chart layout and arrangement after you restart Skylit.
- Start typing a ticker as soon as Atlas or Heatmaps opens, with no click needed first.
- Clicking a page in the sidebar after Skylit has been idle now opens it reliably.
- Fixed the stuck “Loading Skylit…” screen after cancelled navigation.
- Slow-loading tabs now offer Retry after 30 seconds, with recovery when the connection returns.
- Fully opaque opacity settings now preserve the normal crisp chart and panel appearance.
- Tabs shrink as your workspace grows. The + button follows your tabs, with scrolling when more space is needed.
- More reliable tab closing, saved names, and tab navigation with Ctrl+Tab, Ctrl+Shift+Tab, and Cmd+1 to 9.
- Atlas and Heatmap tabs show live ticker prices and daily dollar and percentage changes, with green and red indicators.
- Scale your workspace from 80% to 150% using View → Text Size.
- Improved workspace restoration and a Retry action for failed loads or crashed pages.
- Transparency and frost controls keep your workspace adjustable while text stays crisp.
