Pika

This beta brings Pika's new Liquid Glass app icon, redesigned for macOS's latest look.

As always, cheers for the support, and if you have any issues or feedback, let me know on GitHub.

New features

• Liquid Glass app icon — A redesigned app icon built with Apple's Icon Composer, with a refined eye symbol and a new dark and mono background pattern. The About window icon has been refreshed to match. Thanks to Alexander Käßner for the contribution!

A small follow-up beta with a couple of palette quality-of-life fixes.

As always, cheers for the support, and if you have any issues or feedback, let me know on GitHub.

Updates and bug fixes

• Scroll the palette bar with any mouse. Vertical scroll wheel input now translates to horizontal scrolling on the palette tab bar and swatch strip, so reaching off-screen palettes no longer requires a Magic Mouse or trackpad swipe (#227).
• Palette tooltips match your color format. Hovering a swatch in the palette bar now shows the foreground and background values in your selected color format and space, instead of raw hex.

This beta adds a new popover display mode, contrast picking, support for viewing both WCAG and APCA contrast standards simultaneously, and locale-aware contrast ratio formatting.

New features

• Menu bar popover mode — A new "Popover" app mode shows the picker UI in a popover from the status bar icon, giving you quick access without a floating window or Dock icon
• Contrast picking — Pick a foreground and background color in one flow. Enable in Preferences or trigger via the pika://pick/contrast URL scheme
• Both contrast standards — View WCAG and APCA contrast ratings side by side in the footer, Touch Bar, and Preferences
