updating

the enhancer is still a young project, so it's growing quickly. this means a lot of stuff is changing internally - and, sometimes, externally.

previously (<= v0.7.0), the enhancer was a python script with a couple of resource files, and if you wanted to customise things you had to go in and edit those files. in v0.8.0 there has been a complete rewrite and overhaul: now this is a program that makes use of a number of modules and a graphical menu.

installation dependencies

previously, python and the node.js asar package both had to be manually installed. node.js is the only current requirement of the enhancer.

  • python is no longer a dependency: keep it, get rid of it - up to you.
  • the package installs asar itself in a more scoped environment: if you're confident with the command line, you can remove the package with npm remove -g asar. otherwise, it won't do any damage to just leave it.

keeping the files

enhancement is done fully from the command prompt. by default, there are no files for you to worry about.

you can delete the folder the old version of the enhancer is kept in. (though you may want to keep the user.css file: see below.)

user.css styling

when you first load the enhancer, there's no single file you can edit to see instant changes. instead, the "custom inserts" module is used: you can use it to pick any javascript or css file anywhere on your computer and include it every time you load up notion.

to make your own css file, make sure that your file manager has "show file extensions" ticked, then create a text document and make sure the name ends in .css (e.g. notion-tweaks.css). or, just use the old user.css from before the update.

most of the same css snippets will work, but some (e.g. preview page width) have been moved to the new variable system, plus new ones have been found. it's a good idea to check what you have against the tweaks page and the css theming documentation.

configuration

"what happened to the tray options?"

"how can I set a custom window visibility toggle hotkey?"

these options and more have been moved to the graphical menu, which can be opened from the tray or with CMD/CTRL+E (while the notion app is focused).

installing

just follow the normal installation steps (starting from step 2, you should already have node.js installed). don't worry about running cleaner.py, the new version will detect and overwrite the old for you.
