Additional tools to make certain tasks more efficient:

  • Monitor test: Allows user to render different colors on the screen which provides user the opportunity to test for bleeding and dead pixels on LCD monitors.
  • DNS changer: Allows user to quickly change computer DNS settings with popular DNS servers such as Google DNS.

  • Added history settings window, which currently contains:
  • Maximum item limit (allows loading history window faster)
  • Remember search input
  • Remember window state
  • If dev mode is enabled then pressing Ctrl + F5 while in the history window loads fake history data

  • Added "Auto copy image to clipboard" option to image editor
