TachoDash 1.6.2: Five Details Fixed in Image View

# TachoDash 1.6.2: Five Details Fixed in Image View

1.6.2 is a fix-only release with no new features. After 1.6.1 moved the theme market to image view, a few layout problems showed up in daily use. This version closes them.

All five are small, and all five are things you see every time you open the market.

Card width follows the image aspect ratio

In image view, card width used to be a fixed value, so wide and narrow previews had to compromise with each other — wide themes got squeezed, narrow ones left too much empty space. From 1.6.2 the width is computed from each preview's real aspect ratio, so every theme is shown in its own shape.

Hit area at one quarter of the row width

The action hit area on a card used to be fixed pixels and could spill past the edge on narrow screens. It is now calculated at one quarter of the row width, so it stays inside the card no matter how narrow the screen is.

Overlay buttons removed

Cards used to carry a layer of buttons floating over the preview, covering part of the image. They are gone. Actions sit where they belong, and the preview is just a preview.

Preview images get a border

Dark themes dissolved into a dark background, and the card edge was impossible to see. A thin border separates the preview from the page without competing with it.

Names sit against the bottom edge

The theme name used to float some distance below the image, looking detached from it. It now hugs the bottom edge, so the image and its name read as one unit.

What has not changed

• The market still has both image and list views, switched the same way.
• Themes, connection and dashboard rendering are untouched.
• No theme needs to be downloaded again, and nothing you bought is affected.

If 1.6.1 felt slightly untidy to you, this release is for that feeling.
