Black Dragon is MY Viewer, i decide which feature i want to add and which to remove, i share this Viewer to show the world that user base size is not important, i do rate quality by effort, thought and love put into the project, not some rough estimated numbers. I consider feature requests only if i you can name proper valid reasons i can agree on. It is my (unpaid) time i'm putting into this project, i'm not here to cater to every Joe's desires.

Black Dragon 64x - Update 3.0.5/6 "Dark Dragon"

"It's getting darker."


This time coming with double the update trouble!

I've massively revamped and extended the custom sidebar functionality for those and made it a lot more resistant to purposely trying to break it. You can now add titles and space tabs to the sidebar, all of which can be removed if you want. The Viewer now also comes with a default custom layout that emulates the original sidebar which is still accessed by default when opening the sidebar and will stay there for as long as i'm not fully happy with the custom sidebar.


I cleaned up a few more things and here and there and made some tiny improvements on shadows on different altitudes although this will still need further adjustments as everything. Rome wasn't build over night.

I also finally had enough of this stupid label offset that checkboxes had for... since.... um well all the time actually, their labels should not be on the same height as the checkbox itself rather than offset upwards which looked absolutely ridiculous. I MEAN LOOK AT IT. GODDAMNIT LOOK AT IT. IT'S HORRIFYING!


3.0.6 mainly made the sidebar more crash resistant against attempts to create faulty or broken widgets resulting in a crash and ultimately making you unable to start the Viewer unless you delete your sidebar config. I wasted another day on this just because someone thought it would be funny to simply not enter values and simply press "create widget", creating an empty widget. Well that's what you get for doing so! A well deserved crash.
