    % Glow Up: Improved handling of focus switch by TAB #2.

      want but at some point the controls will be out of view.

v28.30.1405 - 2026-07-19 17:46
    * Select Folder: The old dialog, SHBrowseForFolder, has been replaced with the Common 
      Item Dialog in all instances where only folders, and not folders and files, were 
      selected. That was 14 out of 22 instances. Overall, the new dialog is much more 
      user-friendly. It saves navigation history and supports the navigation pane, aka 
      tree view, as well as search and favorites/quick access. It generally behaves like 
      a little File Explorer.

    + Glow Up: The various dialogs featuring lists, e.g. Help | List All Commands..., now 
      have the WinUI 3 controls.
    + Glow Up: Colors now obey to the dark mode settings ( Configuration | Colors and 
      Styles | Highlights & Dark Mode | Dark mode).
    + Hover Box: You can now use the Hover Box hotkeys even when the focus is in an edit 
      box, such as the Address Bar or Live Filter Box. Previously, these keys worked in 
      both the Hover Box and the focused edit box simultaneously, which was likely not the 
      user's intention.

v28.30.1402 - 2026-07-16 16:04
    + Glow Up: Wrote a collection of various WinUI 3 controls that will take the XY user 
      interface to the next level. Virtually every control you'll see is just an 
      owner-drawn image of a control, not a real control (there is no window resource 
      behind it, no handle wasted). This means complete control over the appearance, 
      perfect (and customizable) dark/light mode, freedom from old and new Windows bugs, 
      easier maintenance, (even) lower memory requirements, (even) smaller file sizes, and 
      (even) faster performance. And, by the way, WinUI 3 requires Windows 10 or later, 
      but XYplorer's implementation will work perfectly even on XP.
      This beta version offers a very modest start: the "About" dialog. There's still a 
      lot to optimize (colors, positions, sizes), but that's really easy now and will 
      happen over the next few weeks as more and more dialogs are migrated to the new 
      system.
    * Glow Up: The corner radius is now independent of the border width (but: it cannot 
      be greater than twice the border width).
      Defaults:
        BorderRadius=4      '4px is the Win11 official recommendation
        BorderWidth=2

    * List: The line numbers column header is now empty in all views. Before, it was "#" 
      in Details views. Cleaner look.
    * List and Small Lists: The focus rectangle is now drawn on top of the hover effect.
    * Menu Window: Changes made here no longer affect the Settings button (it stays green).
    ! Configuration | General | Sort and Rename | Rename | Show name length while 
      renaming: When enabled, a bizarre display glitch caused small ghost rectangles to 
      briefly appear somewhere on the screen. Fixed.

v28.30.1315 - 2026-07-07 15:50
    * Glow Up: Minor change to a key name:
        BorderContour --> BorderOutline      
    + Glow Up: Added a separate key (tweak) to control the one-pixel outline with the hover 
      effect. Factory default is off:
        HoverOutline=0
    * Breadcrumb Bars: The change from v28.30.1301 - 2026-06-29 16:14 had to be undone. It 
      ultimately did not work out.
    % Favorites | Set Box Color...: Now the box colors keep more of the original light 
      mode hue in dark mode.
    ! Batch Rename Preview: Since v28.30.1306 - 2026-07-01 18:13, the dialog layout was 
      broken in > 100% screen scaling. Fixed.

    + Configuration | Preview | Preview | Audio/Video preview: Added "Play once and close" 
      to the dropdown list. Select it to auto-close the preview after the playback is 
      done. This ensures that the previewed file is no longer locked by XYplorer and that 
      other processes can access it fully.
    - Tweak AutoClose: Removed.

        AutoClose=1
      Note that this tweak only takes effect if "Configuration | Preview | Preview | 
      Audio/Video preview" is set to "Play once".
    ! Thumbnails: Since v28.30.1310, thumbnails turned black when hovered. Fixed.
    ! Dialogs with Filter Box: Since v28.30.1309, dialogs could crash on close. Fixed.
