v1.3.4
This update introduces a new settings management system that replaces Microsoft's built-in system with a more robust custom system.
This will prevent settings from resetting every update or reinstall.
Unfortunately, the settings will reset one last time before converting to the new settings system. After v1.3.4, all settings will migrate to new versions without resetting!

v1.2.3 - New customization settings and bug fixes
@unchihugo here, I appreciate everyone's support a lot! I'm still working on more flyouts (capslock, numlock, etc.) and the option to disable volume key triggers, as some of you suggested. Here's what's new so far:
📝 Changelog
- 🐛 Improve flyout focus & topmost behavior to prevent stealing focus in PR #7, fixing cases of bug #5 happening (thanks @Nex457)
- ✅ Added two new settings:
- Alter tray icon left click behavior: choose between opening settings (default) and showing main flyout, if you would like to use the tray icon as a more integrated flyout button in the taskbar (suggestion by u/moccatune)
- Choose between left or center title & artist alignment. Definitely try this out, it feels very clean! (suggestion by @AsvnDG)
- Updated settings UI and text
- Made Mica effect more reliable
- Other bug fixes
- Codebase related stuff:
- Added comments in a lot of areas
- Created WindowHelper.cs class to have things a bit more organized
- Full Changelog: v1.2.2...v1.2.3
- tested on Windows 11, common use cases
📦 If you've installed the Microsoft Store version, you can update FluentFlyout using the .msixbundle installer as they're interchangeably compatible. It might take a few more days for the update to appear on MS Store.

- Open the certificate and press "Install Certificate..."
- On the Certificate Import Wizard, select "Local Machine", press "Next" and grant Admin Access
- Select "Place all certificates in the following store", then "Browse...", choose "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" and "OK"
- Finally, press "Next" and then "Finish". It might ask you to confirm, press Yes
- Download "FluentFlyout_1.0.5_x64.msixbundle"
- The App Installer will pop up, press "Install", or "Update" if you've installed FluentFlyout before
- done! try playing music and use your media or volume keys
