v5.1.0

Here's a quick update with a few requested features. I may not have time to get around to some but I read all of them so keep em coming! 🚀

Icon
A new icon that's easier to see on a dark mode taskbar.

Before:

After:

Opacity
You can now set the opacity of the text in addition to the opacity of the background.

The border now respects background opacity so you can make it more transparent, or hide it entirely.

The background image also respects the background opacity option.

Time Zones
The time zone picker now shows friendlier names for the time zones.

Other

• The "Theme" menu is now "Quick Theme" to imply further customization is possible
• Improved release automation to support multiple architectures & reduce human error
