Our newest hire, Scott, has come out of the gate and introduced several improvements to the Earning History Chart. It's easier than ever to get information about your earning performance.

Zoom in and out

Salad Chefs can now zoom in out of their Earning History Chart over several time periods: 24 Hours, 7 Days, and 30 Days. Previously, you were only able to view your earning performance for the last 24 Hours.

Select a range

Want to see how much you earned in an even smaller window of time? Then select a range of bars on the chart to view how much you earned during that time!

Bug Fixes & Minor Improvements

• Signing in on a mobile device (or in a small browser window) now works as expected

We made some quality of life improvements to the taskbar and tray:

• Added a Salad icon to the Windows tray. Double-clicking on the Salad icon in the tray will toggle between showing & hiding the Salad window. Right-clicking on the Salad icon in the tray will show a context menu with an option to exit.
• Added a status overlay to the Windows taskbar to indicate when Salad is prepping or chopping.
• Added a "Close to Tray" option in the settings panel. When enabled, the "X" in the top right hides the Salad window. You can exit using the Salad icon in the tray.

Bug Fixes & Minor Improvements

• Fixed Windows 10 notification center toasts.
• Added experimental support for improved NVIDIA GPU detection using nvidia-smi.
