Major Improvements

New "Powered by TiddlyWiki" plugin

An experimental plugin to add a simple "Powered by TiddlyWiki" banner to your site. It is included in this prerelease but will not be on the main tiddlywiki.com wiki.

New "Fluid story, fixed sidebar" mode

It is now possible to arrange the main window so that the sidebar has a fixed width and the story river expands to fill the remaining space.

To switch it on, visit Theme Tweaks in the $:/ControlPanel Appearance tab and use the following options:

  • Sidebar layout:
    • Fixed story, fluid sidebar (default) - the story river has a fixed width and the sidebar fills the remaining space
    • Fluid story, fixed sidebar - the story river expands to fill horizontal space remaining after the fixed width sidebar
  • Sidebar width:
    • The width of the sidebar. Can be specified in pixels (eg 350px), a percentage (eg 25%) or other CSS unit

Toolbar Button Style Setting

A new setting in $:/ControlPanel Settings tab allows the toolbar button style to be chosen from the following options:

  • the existing style
  • , which adds a thin border box around the button
  • , which rounds the button corners and inverts the button colours

Plugins can add new style options.

New Tiddler Toolbar Button: "Open in new window"

  • Arranging reference tiddlers for easy access while editing in the main window
  • Making good use of multi-screen layouts
  • Printing the content of a single tiddler
  • Running presentations in a separate window while maintaining notes in the main window
