asciitor 1.3 Release Notes
Material 3, focused editing, reader themes, and document-preview improvements in asciitor 1.3.
asciitor 1.3 introduces a cleaner, more accessible visual system while keeping documents at the centre of the experience.
Highlights
A cleaner Material 3 interface
-
The application now uses Material 3 components and a complete, purpose-built colour system in both light and dark mode.
-
Strong colours are reserved for meaningful actions and selections, while quieter surfaces make navigation and settings easier to scan.
-
Text, icons, controls, borders, and selected states use clearer contrast and semantic colour roles.
A focused editor
-
The editor now uses a calm document canvas instead of appearing like a large filled form or dialog overlay.
-
Source text, cursor, handles, and selection colours remain readable in light and dark mode.
-
Editing behaviour and document persistence remain unchanged.
Reader themes for comfortable previewing
-
Choose between System, Paper, Sepia, and Dark document themes independently of the application theme.
-
Paper is now the default reader theme for new installations.
-
Preview colours cover prose, headings, links, code, quotations, tables, and dividers as one coordinated reading system.
-
Printed and PDF output always uses a legible white-paper palette, regardless of the selected reader theme.
A better theme sample flow
-
Settings retains a compact inline reading sample for quick adjustments.
-
A new action opens a representative AsciiDoc sample in the normal full-screen preview, where themes can be checked with realistic headings, lists, code, quotations, and tables.
-
Returning from the sample restores the previous Settings position, making comparisons quicker.
Document compatibility and preview polish
-
AsciiDoc files incorrectly labelled as generic binary files by a document provider can now be selected and opened when their filename has a supported extension.
-
Files opened from another file manager now request editing access when Android initially grants read-only access, instead of failing with a permission-denied message.
-
Generated tables of contents no longer show unwanted list bullets.
-
The app now targets current Android platform requirements.
