Usage

Updates & Improvements

• Performance Optimization: Resolved performance lags; the application is now stable. Please report any issues on our Issues page.
• New Settings Window: Introduced a dedicated Settings window with a significantly improved and cleaner user interface.
• RTL Language Support: Fixed Arabic text rendering issues; text now correctly aligns to the right, including in input fields.
• Refined UI: Removed the border from AI messages, keeping only the user message borders for a cleaner, modern, and elegant look.
