1.7.0
The menu bar is rebuilt end to end. File is replaced by Search, network and wallet controls sit together, and Ethereum and Base gain a selectable network source that is honored across chain reads. Mission Control and Task View are retired on desktop and mobile, Edit and Window settings move into View, the app store becomes App Center, and boot is reduced to a simple brand fade over a plain field.

Highlights
- 01
The menu bar, rebuilt
File is retired in favor of a Search item that triggers Spotlight on the spot, and Edit's appearance, dock and window settings fold into View, so the top row reads Hexncoin, Search, View, Help instead of six menus deep for a shell with nothing for Edit or Window to act on. RPC and Wallet now sit together at the end of the bar the way Notification Center and the clock do, in reading order rather than scattered with dividers between them, and Notification moves to the very end. The colored dots that used to sit beside the RPC and network icons are gone; a short underline beneath the icon carries the same status without a colored badge competing with the icon above it. The Hexncoin menu itself now carries the current version number, a link to App Center, the About and Release Notes pages, and the X and Phantom links, in place of the Quit item a browser shell had no real use for.
- 02
Ethereum and Base get a real RPC choice
Ethereum and Base gain a second selectable network source, chosen once for both chains from the network menu or Settings and used consistently for balances, fees, receipts and other reads.
- 03
Menu and App Center, sorted out
The full-screen grid of every installed app, opened from the Dock's leading tile, is now called Menu. The app store, which used to share the name App Center with that launcher, is the one now called App Center, so the two are no longer competing for the same word.
- 04
A quieter boot screen
The perspective grid, the breathing core glow and the scanning light pass are gone. What is left is the mark, the wordmark and a plain loading rail, fading in together over a flat field rather than a screen doing several things behind them at once.
Everything in this release
New3
- A Search item replaces File in the menu bar and triggers Spotlight directly, the same way the App menu opens without a dropdown.
- Ethereum and Base gain another selectable network source, chosen once for both chains from the network menu or Settings.
- The Hexncoin menu gains the current version number, a link to App Center, the About and Release Notes web pages, and links to X and the Phantom app page.
Improved7
- RPC and Wallet sit together at the end of the menu bar, and Notification Center and the clock do too, with Notification moved to the very end.
- The colored status dots on the RPC and wallet icons are replaced by a short underline beneath the icon.
- The RPC icon shows the actual active provider's mark, Solana's or the EVM one, instead of a generic broadcast icon, and switches automatically as the selected network changes.
- Edit's appearance, dock and window settings move into the View menu; the Edit and Window menu items are removed.
- The full-screen app launcher is renamed Menu, and the app store is renamed App Center, so the two no longer share a name.
- Boot screen simplified: the background grid, breathing glow and scanning light pass are removed in favor of a plain fade-in.
- The 24-hour range bar under the Solana Hub's price chart is removed; the low and high figures remain in the stats below it.
Removed3
- Mission Control and Task View, on desktop and mobile.
- The standalone Spotlight icon in the menu bar tray, now that Search is a menu bar item.
- "Quit Hexncoin" from the system menu. A focused app's own Quit item is unaffected.
