A tray-icon polish release, following up on the taskbar work in 7.6.3.

What's changed

• The colour tray icon is sharp on HiDPI too (#112). The tray's colour icon was drawn from a 64px raster, so a HiDPI tray or panel that asked for a larger size upscaled it to a blur. Only the monochrome icon stayed crisp, because it is drawn from the SVG, as Nigel1992 noted. The colour icon is now rendered from the scalable app logo as well, and the tray composes it at up to 256px, so it stays crisp at any size. The count badge, previously baked into the 1-9 artwork, is now drawn at every count to match. • Optional red unread count on the monochrome tray icon (#112). A new setting, Red count on the monochrome icon (Settings -> Appearance, under the monochrome tray option), draws the unread number in red on the otherwise colourless monochrome icon so it stands out. Off by default, keeping the count the same neutral tone as the glyph. Requested by Nigel1992. The new strings are translated into all 30 interface languages.

Install

• Linux (portable): download the .AppImage, chmod +x it and run. It can update itself in place, verifying each update's signature. • Linux (packages): .deb and .rpm are attached; Flatpak, Snap and AUR follow through their channels. • Windows: the .exe/.msi installer, plus a small .msp patch to update an existing 7.6.x install. • macOS (experimental)：an unsigned .dmg; first launch needs right-click -> Open.

The AppImage is GPG-signed; the public key (whatly-appimage-pubkey.asc) is published alongside the release, and Whatly verifies the signature itself before applying a self-update. Details in packaging/appimage/SIGNING.md.
