Release notes
Znote 4.6.0 — UI improvements
New
- Rename a vault folder from the treeview, via the right-click menu. The folder is renamed on disk, and the notes it contains — including those in its subfolders — follow automatically.
- New "Accent on selection" setting (Settings → Editor → Interface). Shows a colored bar on the selected item: note, folder, active tab, settings menu, and the AI overlay's border. Off by default.
- Close button in the AI overlay. It could previously only be dismissed with the keyboard (Esc).
Interface
- AI overlay — the four-color gradient border is replaced by a quiet frame; the accent now lights up only while the overlay is engaged (typing a prompt, or an answer streaming). The input loses its redundant inner outline, and the floating button no longer overlaps the overlay.
- Tables — the full grid around every cell gives way to a single rule under the header plus row banding.
- Task checkboxes — drawn in the app's own colors instead of the macOS system blue. A - [ ] no longer shows both a bullet and a checkbox.
- Tabs — the active tab is marked by an accent bar, and inactive titles are dimmed.
- Treeview — the note marker is now a filled dot; the old hollow ring read as an unselected radio button.
- Note list — tighter rows, with the name and date reading as a pair.
- Outline panel — the [h1], [h2]… labels are gone, replaced by a hierarchy carried by indentation and type scale; each row is now a full-width click target.
- Settings window — fixed height, so it no longer resizes as you move between tabs; redesigned side navigation, and the header is now separated from the content.
- Slim, consistent scrollbars throughout: Outline, the "New Note" template browser, and the settings lists.
Fixes
- Linking an external folder under a subfolder failed with "Cannot read properties of undefined", or silently attached the folder to the wrong parent.
- The accent color did not follow the selected theme: switches stayed orange under light themes.
- In Settings, the Prompts, MCP and LLM lists are taller, and their action buttons ("New custom prompt", "Open mcp.json", "Add New llm") stay visible no matter how many entries there are.
- The JSON config sample in the MCP tab was cut off on the right; it now scrolls.
- The OpenAI provider detail no longer forces vertical scrolling.
- The / and @ suggestion lists in the AI overlay used the OS scrollbar instead of the app's.
