7CG v2.0.0-beta.20 is out today. If you're already on a 2.x beta, the auto-updater should pull it the next time you launch the app.

This one is about making the rundown easier to read at a glance. You can now colour individual blocks, save a palette of your favourite colours, and every item shows its block-type icon next to the label.

What's new​

  • Colour any block: Right-click a rundown item to pick its colour. Light and dark themes get their own values, so colours look right in either mode.
  • Saved colours: Build a palette of named colours in Preferences → Colours and reuse them anywhere a colour is picked.
  • Block icons in the rundown: Every item now shows its block-type icon next to the label, so a long rundown is much easier to scan.
  • Custom icon and label per item: Media blocks can override their icon and label on individual entries, handy when one item in a list needs to stand out.
  • Release notes match your version: When the app updates, the "What's New" screen shows the changelog for the version you actually installed.
  • Tidier Lyrics module: The title icon now lines up with the hymn rows and resizes smoothly with the module.

Fixes​

  • Colour pickers opened from a right-click menu no longer close themselves before you can use them.
  • Changing a block type's default colour now updates every existing item using that default, not just new ones.
  • Fixed a crash when opening the edit dialog on Media blocks.

Getting it​

If you're already on a 7CG 2.x beta, the auto-updater will pull beta.20 the next time you launch the app. Each update is a complete installer for your platform (Windows .exe, macOS .dmg, or Linux .AppImage / .deb / .snap), so there's nothing else to do once it lands. New to 7CG? Download a first install from 7cg.io.

Known limitations​

This is still a beta. A few things to keep in mind:

  • macOS builds are not notarized in this release. You'll need to right-click the app and choose Open the first time to bypass Gatekeeper.
  • Windows builds are not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will warn on first launch. Click More info, then Run anyway.

Reporting bugs​

If something breaks, post in the 7CG WhatsApp group with your OS, the version string from Help → About, and the steps to reproduce. The renderer log lives at:

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\7cg\logs\
  • macOS: ~/Library/Logs/7cg/
  • Linux: ~/.config/7cg/logs/

Attaching the most recent log file will speed up triage.

Thanks for testing.
