Added

• Frostdev, a new built-in Look: a living topography in cut-ice light that tilts with the pointer, the Frostdev pointer set, and contour effects with flake and shard marks.
• Glaze's own parts move: course tabs, widgets, to-dos, folders and reminders glide to their new places and fade out when removed, and changing a palette, a Look or the Sidebar's width crossfades. Nothing moves with motion off, transitions off or reduced motion.

Changed

• Blackboard: the course tab strip, the course header and the headers of items you open (documents, discussions, announcements) float as glass panels; counts and search get pill backgrounds. Canvas's breadcrumb row matches.
• Blackboard: tool pages such as Gradebook and Calendar run the tab strip and course header the full width, with the Sidebar under them, instead of leaving an empty corner.
• Entrances, tooltips and dialogs animate on the graphics card, so they stay smooth on busy pages; dialogs fade out as they close.

Fixed

• Blackboard: a course tab shows one continuous background with the page around it, with no seam at its edge, also with an item open.
• Blackboard: closing an announcement opened in a course tab goes back to the course's Announcements, instead of taking the window to the Activity Stream.
• Blackboard and Canvas: course tabs can be switched or closed while one is still loading.
• Blackboard: no line down the Courses and Organizations pages, no band or bright line under Gradebook's header, and the open Announcements search is a pill.
• Blackboard: the What-if calculator in a course tab no longer stops at "Glaze couldn't load this course's scores", retries on its own, and shows category names such as Discussion.

Added
- Every built-in Look has its own pointer set, an animation around the pointer, a typing effect and its own effects for completing, submitting, grades, streaks, the focus timer and Look rotation. Choosing a Look puts them all on; a Look code carries them.
- Typing effects: small particles at the caret as you type. They never read what you type, and never run in password, card or one-time-code fields, while composing, on quizzes or with motion off.
- Look › Pointer: keep the Look's pointer, use the system pointer, pick any of Glaze's pointer sets or a picture of your own, and turn the pointer animation on or off. Your choice stays when you change Looks and is never put in a Look or a theme code.

Changed
- The pointer is part of the Look. A pointer chosen under the old setting moves into the Look you're wearing, once.

Fixed
- Blackboard: an announcement opened in a course tab shows there, instead of a "We can't find that page" error.
- Safari: Settings opened inside a Blackboard, Canvas or Moodle page no longer shows a blank panel.
- Safari: a Look's animations, effects, pointer animation, navigation and page tweaks load on course pages again, and reading Word and PowerPoint files there works.
- A course tab's animated background no longer stays on its blurred stand-in when a load stalls, and comes back after the browser takes its graphics away.

Added

• Glaze asks before running on a site that only looks like Canvas, Moodle or Blackboard Ultra, and records nothing there until the student says Yes. Canvas on instructure.com, Ultra on blackboard.com and sites already in use stay automatic. Settings → Backup and privacy → Sites lists approved custom sites, with Remove.
• A shared Look's offer names every navigation item it hides, where each link goes, the page parts it restyles and any text it writes. A Look from someone else that hides Sign out or the profile, adds a link that isn't https, or disguises a link is refused, with the reasons shown.

Changed

• Selected bulk reads are queued per document and school site, pause after errors and rate limits, and read whole lists, reducing load and missed badges.
• Look background files live in the worker's database and are cleaned up when unused. Linked images and videos have size caps. New video and AVIF files have container metadata removed; uncleanable older files stay local and are not shared.
• Blackboard course records name their school; "Due this week" is kept per site. Draft backups are kept per site and student.
• An update that adds code to a no-code widget asks first. Removing a mod removes its data unless you choose to keep it. Mods can't send data off-site through navigation links.
• Shared notes keep syncing while you type, text syncs before files, and unused relay files are deleted best effort.
• The share relay bounds heavy traffic, limits new stored data per client per day, and expires shares after two unused years.

Fixed

• With Glaze off, Blackboard Ultra loads plain on reload.
• Grades and GPA: range grade scales, failing grades below a scale, Ultra's percent text, XF/FN/IF/FA, J-Term order and four-digit years.
• Moodle keeps its Edit mode switch and the school's own menu links in Glaze's bar.
• Download all works in Blackboard course tabs, Settings opened inside a page saves, and an edited Dashboard stays as edited.
• Blackboard course tabs with unsaved work are never closed for another tab, and Ultra's own Sign Out works with course tabs open.
• Canvas's regional document viewers get Glaze's viewer, large Word, HTML and PowerPoint imports no longer freeze the tab, and zip downloads keep file extensions.
• Notes refuse to save or sync a note that would be cut short, with a warning. The focus timer chimes in background tabs and survives clock changes.
• Editing an imported syllabus row moves its To Do task instead of leaving an overdue copy.
• Changing a Look's palette keeps its navigation and other extras, with Undo, and contrast checks use the surfaces actually shown.
• Glaze's bar and shortcuts work with screen readers, IME input and right-to-left pages.
• Pets keep their streak and bonding through clock changes and come back after back/forward navigation.
• Blackboard header buttons, announcement rows, Grades cards and Calendar bars no longer sit on dark patches.

Fixed

• Blackboard pages use consistent themed backgrounds, rounded headers and controls, and spacing across discussions, assignments, documents, announcements, Activity, Calendar and grades. Activity icons stay centered, and Course Content headings have proper insets.
• Keep scene backgrounds continuous behind navigation and keep full-page panels clear of the bar, including retained course tabs and smaller windows.
• Improve course-tab navigation, sidebar and widget layout recovery, grade and due-date handling, and Settings behavior across Blackboard and Canvas.
• Correct saved Look, note-sharing and session handling, and stabilize validation and packaging checks.

Fixed

• Layouts, pets and other saved changes work again after installing over a Dashboard layout kept from an earlier version. The new-install setup no longer stops on that layout and blocks every save.

Fixed

• Keep scene backgrounds continuous behind the floating navbar and sidebar on Blackboard course content, tool pages and item panels, including retained course tabs.
• Recover animated and mod backgrounds after temporary startup failures.
• Keep fallback backgrounds behind the shared navbar while viewing retained Blackboard course tabs.

Glaze 3.3.0 — changes since 3.0.3

NAVIGATION AND WORKSPACE

• Glaze navigation on Blackboard Ultra, Canvas and Moodle: floating or embedded side rails and top bars, customizable logos, reordered or hidden items, your own links and phone tabs. Course tabs, the clock, upcoming work, focus timer and pet can live in the bar. Turn it off to restore the site's navigation.
• Canvas menus and Moodle notifications and messages open in Glaze panels. Course menus and Glaze settings are accessible from the navigation.
• A configurable sidebar on Canvas and Blackboard Ultra combines the page's sidebar with docked widgets, becoming a drawer on narrow windows. Reorder and resize with the keyboard, move widgets between layouts, and show Better To Do for one course or all courses.
• Easier submitted-document review: compact headers, expandable feedback, full screen and focus mode, with the rubric, grade and feedback accessible beside the document.
• Live Canvas course tabs and faster Back/Forward restore visited pages while preserving embedded tools and editors. Hide modules and use course cards as Dashboard widgets.
• Fresh installations start with navigation settings, course cards, a pet habitat, focus timer, notes and quotes. Existing layouts and saved choices are preserved.

CUSTOMIZATION AND PETS

• Code-free mods add backgrounds, animations, navigation layouts, page adjustments, sticker and pet packs, and block-built widgets. Import from a code, link, file or gallery, or build a widget without coding. Firefox does not run code mods.
• Looks support looping videos, animated images and Lottie backgrounds. They stay muted, respect reduced motion and pause in hidden tabs.
• Pets grow across semesters, with room, garden, aquarium and cloud habitats, movable furniture, and draggable ball and yarn toys. Optional local learning shapes routines and preferences; reset or disable it without clearing XP.
• Share a note with an encrypted invitation. Sharing controls are in Settings, with improved Notes-panel sizing and feedback.

FIXES AND RELIABILITY

• Saved Blackboard drafts remain unsubmitted in badges and Better To Do. Completed external-tool items keep their native completion status.
• Large Blackboard gradebooks and course searches identify incomplete results. Grade, GPA and what-if calculators avoid totals from partial data while preserving saved trial scores.
• More reliable Canvas tab history, delayed pages, embedded documents and links; earlier theming and lighter loading. Course-card menus preserve color choices, stay anchored and restore keyboard focus.
• Navigation survives extension updates and reloads. Improved panel spacing, close buttons, pet animations and recovery from interrupted setup.
