Thanks to all that participated.

Not an issue (and sorry if this is the wrong place to post), but am curious, does: "When in dark mode the tab bar is now dark in all apps for foreground state" mean that High Contrast Modes in Windows are now properly supported (without the tab title text disappearing)?

Thanks (:

Yes it should now render text when in high contrast mode.  It isn't related to that entry in the change list, the one about high contrast modes got missed off the list I think.

When I create a group consisting of a Word file, Excel file, Outlook and Safari and lock it and then save and close, the first three are shown grouped when reopened. Safari will also open, but separate from the group.

Hello,
When a group is opened, we cannot see it’s name.
I think that it is useful to know the name of the group opened.
Could you do it?
Thanks!

I also can't see the name of the group that is open, but the name is Moonboys 4 tabs

I have been using Groupy 1.36 Beta for about a week now with no issues. I don't save groups, so I can't give any feedback in that area, but it seems very stable. I like the new close all button at the top right corner. It took me a while to get used to it, because it requires a behavior change in closing files. One thing you might consider as an option under the setting to "Show close all button," would be "Show alert on close all" which would pop up asking if you really meant to close all tabs with "Close all" or "Cancel" buttons. As I said, this should be an option in the settings because some folks might not like this behavior.

Great work and kudos to the Groupy development team!

There is an option to turn off that close all button.

Thank you,

If you read my post more carefully, I mention this setting, but am suggesting an option under this setting for "Show alert on close all" which would pop up asking if you really meant to close all tabs with "Close all" or "Cancel" buttons. 

Yes. ..an 'are you sure' popup always makes sense ....;)

Is it possible to change the hotkey modifier? I think that Alt+` is a more natural hotkey than Win+`, especially for people coming from a Mac.

Great work on the software, extremely useful.
