FlickFlick 1.14.2: seeking that tells you, and light glass you can read

A small one. FlickFlick 1.14.2 fixes two things I ran into myself this week. If you have FlickFlick, it updates itself; if you don't, it's free for Mac and Windows.

Seeking on SoundCloud (Windows)

I was listening to a long DJ set on SoundCloud in Edge, dragged the seek ring to skip ahead, and nothing happened. The ring held the spot for a few seconds, then quietly jumped back.

It turns out SoundCloud says "yes" to a seek while it's still loading, and then drops it. Now, when the player hasn't moved a moment after you let go, FlickFlick asks once more, which is usually all it takes. If it still doesn't move, the ring tells you, instead of pretending:

• Players that don't allow seeking say so too: press on the seek ring and you get a short line instead of a ring that doesn't respond.
• Plain names for players on Windows: "Edge" and "Firefox", not "MSEdge" and a string of letters.

Light Liquid Glass you can actually read

In light mode, Liquid Glass was half see-through, and over a dark window or a page of text the labels got lost. The glass is now mostly solid and pale, and still looks like glass from its rim, the sheen and the light that follows your pointer. Every label passes WCAG AA, even over a black desktop.

• A tint you pick stays light enough for the dark labels on it.
• Increase contrast no longer turns light glass dark, and Reduce transparency makes it more solid, not less.
