🖤 Kuro 9 🤍

Warning ⚠️

It is highly recommended you delete your ~/.kuro.json configuration file in order to have the new keyboard shortcuts and the default theme.

Summary

Kuro 9 fundamentally changes the way one of Kuro's most important feature works:

Recently, Microsoft finally released the dark theme implementation for the web version of their ToDo app, they call it Night Mode. This was one of the main reasons I decided to start working on Kuro over a year ago. There was no Desktop client for MS ToDo and the web app lacked a dark mode.

Instead of coming pre-packed the 4 themes (Dark, Black, Dracula & Sepia), Kuro will now use its repurposed Ctrl + H shortcut to toggle between Microsoft ToDo's Night Mode.

And starting with Kuro 9, you'll be able to create and use your own themes with Kuro ! There are a few already in the Wiki page in case you want to gain some inspiration and you can use the shortcut Ctrl + S to enable Custom Mode. Note that doing so will override any styled applied by Night Mode.

By extension, the Auto-Night Mode will remove custom mode when Kuro is initialized and apply ToDo's Night/Day Mode according to the time of day.

Features 🚀

  • Kuro now comes with Dark theme as the default custom theme !
  • To change the default theme open the JSON settings with Ctrl + ..

Kuro 8.1.7 🖤

Patches 🩹

• Updated Electron & electron-context-menu dependencies
  • ⚠️ Electron has discontinued support for Linux ia32 on its latest versions. In order to keep Kuro secure, performant and up to date with Electron, I have decided to update Electron and also stop supporting the 32bit architecture in Linux systems.
  • If there's enough requests, I can open a another release channel for 32 bit versions of Kuro, but for now, we're moving on- Also updated the nix package. But am not 100% sure it's working correctly.

Snapcraft Install fixed 🐞

To install Kuro's snap from the comand line, run snap install kuro-desktop in your terminal

Fixed the suggestions panel 🐛

Kuro had a theming issue that was reported in #48 and it is fixed in this latest version

Kuro 8.1.3 🩹

Electron Update

This patch offers an update to from version 11.5.0 to 18.3.4 which should improve Kuro's performance out of the box.
Also in this patch, we've switched from electron-settings package to electron-store which has been more well maintained as of late.

This should fix some issues that have been reported (#37 #33 & #31 ) and is therefore advisable to update to the latest version.

As Electron 19.0.5 was only released one day ago and many OS's don't support it, therefore Kuro breaks, for now, we'll be using Electron 18.3.4, for now.

Warning ⚠️

If you have the SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input error after updating, please try to delete ~/.config/Kuro and try again.
