What's New in MuxPad
1.5.1
September 21, 2026
Fixed selected items in the sidebar being unreadable on light themes. The label was drawn white on a light selection surface, so the name of the session you had just tapped disappeared. Text throughout the app is easier to read. Secondary labels — host names, status lines, section counts — were too faint against light backgrounds, and any theme you create now keeps app text legible against its own colors. Terminal colors now arrive exactly as the program sent them. True color was being downgraded and then rebuilt from the theme, which turned oranges and reds into muddy browns. Tools that rely on precise color — diff viewers, syntax highlighting, agent banners — look right again. Fixed the top line of the terminal appearing blurred. iOS draws a soft fade at the edge of scrolling content; on the terminal that fade landed on the tmux status line and washed out the text. The keyboard bar has a new tab listing your live sessions. Tap one to switch to it without leaving the terminal.
