Hey everyone, today we are releasing a small update to fix some issues and add a few minor improvements to the app. [h2]User Interface Improvements[/h2] As part of this update, we have made various small changes around the user interface to make it more approachable. One thing we are doing is to highlight the [b]Approved[/b] tag a little more by moving it to the top of the filters sidebar. On the [b]Installed[/b] tab, you will now also find a new [b]My Favorites[/b] button to find your installed favorite wallpapers more quickly: [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26312799/10e242c5e86724e4cbe62d93c8d2360debded7a3.png[/img] The top of the Wallpaper Engine user interface will now also show the currently installed version and will inform users if they are using the beta. This serves as an easy reminder if you have enabled the beta in the past and forgotten about it and make it easier for verify the currently running version of the app. In the Steam Workshop search, whenever you type multiple words, a new option for [b]exact phrase matching[/b] will appear. Valve has made some changes to the Steam Workshop search in the past and it returns much more relevant results than it used to, but in rare cases it might still be useful if you want to look for something very specific and want to get rid of unrelated wallpapers that might show up in your search. We have also added a new [b]Brightness[/b] option to the LED plugin for Razer Chroma and Corsair iCUE so that you can lower the brightness of your LED hardware if you find it a little bit too bright for you. [h2]Other Fixes[/h2] This update also fixes a few issues that were reported to us in the last few weeks, including a crash issue introduced with the last update that could occur when running multiple playlists across multiple screens.
