History of Breaking Changes

  • Article

The following breaking changes were introduced by version:

[5.3.2005.12001.0-prerelease]

  • With the introduction of transparency, widgets will need to provide a background. In prior version of the SDK a background was drawn automatically by Game Bar, going forward this is no longer the case. For widgets that weren't already providing a background they may appear transparent at all times when this was not the intent. See make your widget transparent for more details on how to properly support this feature.

[4.1.2003.11001.0]

  • In order to make our naming more consistent we have removed the terms "UI Extension" and "Overlay" from many places. We now refer to them as "Widgets." For most existing projects this will require you to search and replace keywords in order for your application and widgets to work properly. See Overlays are Widgets for more information.
  • A minor change has been made to the light theme icon filename to alleviate build warnings inherent to Visual Studio. See Light Theme Icon Filename.
  • ARM support has been removed from the NuGet package in favor of ARM64. ARM will not be supported by this SDK at this time.
