• Fixed truecolor previews showing different colors from the final import when automatic FLI backgrounds or shared layer rasters are involved.
• Corrected the Top + Bottom Borders layout name to “7 Expanded Hires Sprites” and fully debugged the .prg displayer
• Restored Bimber’s artwork to the random startup splash selection, including its Retina version.
• Disabled VICE, RetroDebugger, and Ultimate preview when no suitable PRG displayer supports the current image.
• Simplified the message when no PRG exporter supports the selected graphics mode, including VICE preview.
• Improved website downloads with platform dropdowns and a full version archive with release notes; limited homepage notes to the latest version and removed footer release metadata.
• The website Download button now picks the right package for your Mac, Windows or Linux computer, with smaller platform links below as a fallback; animation Pause/Play buttons now sit on the images so captions stay close. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Gave the stencil pattern popup rounded corners and a border like Pixcen’s menus. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Evened out the tool options bar: the stencil brush icon now lines up with the other brush buttons in brush and shape options, Size, Density and Sides each get a little more room, and its input fields are shorter to match the buttons. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Gave the animation player controls the toolbar look: a little room above and below, a clear gap between the playback buttons and the playback options, and no drag handle. The frame strip’s + button is now as wide as a thumbnail with a much quieter outline. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Tidied the Settings dialog: more space below the tabs and between rows, combo boxes sized to their contents, a centred Restore CRT defaults button, an airier Emulators tab (renamed from Emulator), and an update interval list of 24, 12, 6 or 1 hours. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Gave the About box more padding around the logo; the scrolling credits are unchanged. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• The update window now keeps one size and stays open through the whole update, with the logo, label, version and status stacked left-aligned. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Keep updater cancellation accurate during handoffs, close information-only offers correctly, and preserve readable long errors and version labels inside the fixed window.
• Made panning and zooming with the Pixel Grid on much smoother, by drawing only visible grid lines and caching them after movement stops. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)

• Custom stencil banks now persist across restarts and share edits between tabs, with remembered factory reset and existing preset Load/Save support. (Thanks: CopAss)
• Moved the PRG indicator away from the window edge so the rounded corner no longer cuts it off. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Redesigned Search Commands as a borderless panel with a large input, your five most recent commands, a live filtered list and rounded selection; Escape or a click outside closes it. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• The graphics mode line in the Layers panel is now grey, so the layer title stands out. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• In the animation export layer list, First and Last now come before PNG export, and the Layer and PNG export columns can be resized with visible drag handles. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Tidied the animation export window: compact aligned First, Last, range and From/To fields, no frame headlines, and no empty space above the summary. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Redesigned tooltips with a darker, rounded surface, no bright edge and more padding, and moved them closer to the pointer. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Hovering a row in the Layers panel now highlights the whole row in one lighter shape, in place of three separate blue ones. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Removed the square shape behind the rounded Layers selection, sharpened the pin and lock icons, and moved them away from the row edge. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Centred the right panel’s drag handle in its gap and made it easier to see. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Layer visibility now uses open and closed eye icons in place of checkboxes, and the Layers panel selection has rounded corners. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Collapsing a right side panel now keeps the width you set and its drag handle, and the handle matches the toolbar handle brightness. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Fixed the Settings dialog silently enabling the canvas outline; it is now off unless you turn it on. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Toned down the yellow layer boundary, raised layer name labels clear of it, and changed the locked Colors slot frame from orange to blue. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Collapsing the Palette, Colors or Layers panels now closes the gap they leave. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Pixcen now remembers the width of the right side panel between sessions. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Softened toolbar dividers and scrollbars, added a small buffer around the vertical toolbar, rounded the highlight in combo box lists, and aligned combo box text with numeric fields. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Made toolbar icons slightly smaller and evenly aligned, and dimmed unselected icons so the selected tool stands out. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Added padding so numbers no longer sit against the left edge of numeric input fields. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Fixed GPX projects with large color-limitation presets failing to open with a corrupt LSTK error. (Thanks: CopAss)
• Added FLI badline choices to truecolor import and Import Truecolor in the layer right-click menu, preserving the destination mode and badline interval.

• Removed the remaining square native shadow corner from Windows menus and combo lists. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Added configurable direct stencil-pattern selection, with Alt/Option+1–9 defaults. (Thanks: CopAss)
• Added an optional, default-off right-click eraser for Pencil/brush drawing under General settings. (Thanks: CopAss)

• Refreshed legacy Pixcen .gpx file icons and Explorer’s icon cache on Windows after upgrades. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Kept Quit as the final File-menu command on Windows, after document-tab navigation. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Fixed black triangles behind rounded menu and combo-list corners on Windows. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Simplified updating: Update and Relaunch downloads, verifies, installs and restarts Pixcen with one click, while retaining checks for unsaved documents and running scripts. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)
• Reduced Windows UI font density to match macOS more closely while retaining system display scaling. (Thanks: Joachim Ljunggren)

Pixcen Deluxe 2.0.1
