One stable release for macOS 14–27. Shelf icons are sharper and more accurate, with distorted or washed-out menu-bar captures fixed and apps no longer falling back to generic icons; Notification Center opens from the clock noticeably faster without briefly revealing hidden icons, and clicking the clock while Notification Center is open now closes it. On macOS 27, core system controls remain visible and items from the same app are managed together. Screen Recording enables original menu-bar images in Shelf; without it, app icons are used.
