**Listary 7.1.0.45 Beta** is out. It makes **text clearer** , adds an option to hide the tray icon and more, and fixes 10 issues, several of them reported here.

* * *

## Improvements

- Clearer text: small text no longer looks blurry at 100% and 125% display scaling, especially Chinese.
- You can now hide the tray icon: turn off “Show tray icon” in Options \> General.
- Ctrl+X now cuts files in the launcher and search bars too.
- In file dialogs, “Switch to Last Opened Folder in File Manager” now takes you to the folder you have open right now.
- With the dark theme, Listary’s right-click menus are dark too (on Windows 11, confirmation dialogs are as well).
- File sizes use the decimal separator for your region.

## Fixes

- Listary no longer needs the Visual C++ runtime installed separately. Before, it wouldn’t start on computers without it.
- Fixed Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and other shortcuts not working in text boxes with Caps Lock on, or with keyboards such as Russian or Hebrew.
- Fixed Ctrl+Insert, Shift+Insert and similar shortcuts not working in text boxes (they worked in 7.0).
- Fixed hotkeys changed in Options not working in the File Search Window.
- Fixed a black frame that sometimes appeared around the launcher.
- Fixed search results sometimes showing a file’s old name after it was renamed.
- Fixed “Go to Parent Folder” going to the wrong place from a top-level folder.
- Fixed the eBay name showing incorrectly in web search.
- Fixed the tray icon not showing its name when you hover over it.
- Windows no longer shows “Unknown publisher” when you uninstall Listary.

## Thank you

You reported these here, and they’re fixed in this version:

- Text looked faint and less sharp than before. Thanks @disillusioned ([t/10327](https://discussion.listary.com/t/10327)) and @riteshpgi ([post](https://discussion.listary.com/t/10325/10))
- Listary wouldn’t start on a fresh Windows 11 install because of the Visual C++ runtime. Thanks @Diego_F ([t/10340](https://discussion.listary.com/t/10340))
