Release notes

Arctic Launcher 0.4.3

October 13, 2026

What's new#

Fixed#

  • The launcher no longer keeps resizing itself on screens with display scaling (125%, for example): Auto interface size measured the screen again right after changing size, and flipped between two sizes. This update installs by itself.
  • Cosmetics previews: items sit in the middle of their cards, faces seen at a slant (a brim's underside as you tilt) no longer vanish early, and cubes inside each other stop flickering.
  • The character preview keeps its size while it turns.

Cosmetics#

  • Skin gallery is easy to find: Skins, Skin gallery and Capes sit together under Looks, and the gallery opens first when you have no skins yet.
  • Your own capes stay: every cape you add keeps its card on the Capes page, so you can switch between them in one click (right-click one to remove it).
  • Adding a skin or a cape is a card at the front of its list.
  • Zoom further in the character preview (0.4├ù to 4├ù); zooming in moves toward your face.
  • Shadow Brim: a new black wide-brim hat (Head).
