·3 min read

Hello everyone, my name is Dr_rOot and I am the author of Motrix.

  • Automatically check for updates
  • Internationalization

How to enable

If you are a Windows or Linux user, you will need to manually switch the app appearance in Preferences — Advanced Settings — Appearance.

If you are a macOS user (the system has been upgraded to Mojave and the appearance set to dark mode), after Motrix is updated to v1.3.x, your Motrix look and feel has been automatically switched to dark mode, of course you can switch it manually.

This version adapts the system tray icon in dark mode.

In order to realize the feature that the system tray icon still has a small green light during downloading in the dark mode, the Template image in the Electron document is not used.

My approach is to switch between different icons depending on the system settings. If you are interested, you can read the code by yourself: P

Automatically check for updates

Motrix is built using electron-builder, and the auto-update feature is also based on the functionality provided by electron-builder, so if Winodws and Linux users want to use the auto-update feature, install Motrix with NSIS and AppImage.

Thanks to Yi-Frank for contributing to the feature of automatically checking for updates when the app starts.

You can enable automatic check for update settings based on whether you meet the above requirements, Preferences — Basic — Auto Check Update
