    [Feature Request] Add anti-aliasing to the corners of the pop-up window

    I would like to suggest a very minor improvement that'd give some polish if you notice the pop-up that comes up, it has corners that are kind of pixelated and not perfectly curved it seems like i'm nitpicking but i think it's the thing that we all see every now and then and polishing it would make your tool much nicer to use image

  • [Bug Report] Main window displays incorrect device name

    [Bug Report] Main window displays incorrect device name

    :bug: Describe the bug

    Main window displays incorrect device name. It may be a Bluetooth address or not the expected custom name.

    :scroll: Explain

    This is actually a Windows or AirPods bug. For unknown reasons Windows didn't successfully get the name of the AirPods device when pairing, so it defaults to the Bluetooth address, and AirPodsDesktop displays the incorrect name as a result.

    I'll commit a mitigation later. If a possibly incorrect device name is detected, it will fallback to displaying the AirPods model name instead of the Bluetooth address.

    As a solution, you can remove your AirPods device from the Windows Bluetooth settings and then pair it again.
