Lyrics Card Generator v4.4.6 Release Notes
Release date: 2026-07-11
This release fixes layout and motion issues across the six-step editor, the Settings Wing, and the export stage. Existing card elements, the export-quality slider, and the completion and export button behavior remain intact while step spacing, Settings visual language, and PNG generation feedback become more consistent.
Main Updates
- The Stepper now keeps consistent content height and bottom spacing across every step, avoiding oversized row height at specific stages. The left-side Previous / Next navigation also loses its large outer frame and adopts the same frameless layout as step six.
- Fixed an intermittent loss of the rightward Settings transition so opening Settings reliably plays the horizontal motion from both the main editor and after returning from Lyric Examples.
- Settings now uses the same large-heading and surface language as the main editor, without the oversized outer frame, square dividers, or helper copy below tabs. Its close button matches the Lyric Examples X feedback, and the persistent “Settings saved” label is removed while the existing toast remains.
- The red, yellow, and green window controls are slightly larger and gain a more lively hover response. The thin border around the app icon on the left side of the title bar is also removed.
- Step four is renamed from “Font Presets” to “Text Design” and now contains the Text Color control previously found in step five. Color presets are removed, “Auto” becomes the sole “White” choice, custom color remains available, and the live preview follows the new controls.
- Removed the Cover Crop control and fixed its value at 1. The Instrumental / No Lyrics choice is also rearranged for clearer content-type selection.
- Portrait card size presets now keep only 1:1 and Custom, with Custom selected and automatic height enabled by default. The alignment control at the bottom of step three becomes a horizontal slider for a consistent layout-control language.
- Step six reorganizes export hierarchy and spacing while retaining every existing element. “Generating PNG” gains a clearer, polished animation that respects reduced motion, while the quality slider and Complete & Export button behavior remain unchanged.
