• Today: *

  • Responding to feedback on PR #870 (blocked UI)
  • Fixed up hover related changes to the star button in PR #872.
  • New PR #894 to fix #847 (no sources selected info screen). This was an exercise in Qt/CSS/HTML frustration and so doesn't quite look right. Feedback please..! (I've added a reference to the capabailities Qt has in this regard, so we don't specify things that'd be impossible to implement.)
  • Currently finishing off work on #869 (width of source items in UI).

• Blockers or Asks: *

  • @Nina please check the PRs above and feedback. ^^ Thank you... :-)
  • I'll keep plugging on with the UI polish tickets.
  • Or else please suggest a priorty order for a TODO list. Thank you..!
