No idea, email him and ask? I don't develop desktop apps but I'm assuming it's because the original installer didn't.

ClipX has plugins that give you way more features. As a web developer I used the color picker plugin to copy the hex code of the pixel beneath my mouse to the clipboard when a hotkey is pressed, although it could be configured in many other ways.

I've used ClipX since its inception in 2004, and was shocked to learn it was recently updated by the original author for a major 2.0 revision... 18 years later! The FAQ also states that he never sold it, so it remains 100% crapware free.
I used to joke that it took Microsoft until Win 11 to create their own clipboard manager, and even then it didn't hold a candle to the 18 year old ClipX 1.0

As someone who used to submit issues to Gitlab just to see them stagnate for 6-8 years and then ceremonially get closed after being stuck in management/release bump hell (along with many 'me toos' from both Gitlab premium support staff / 3rd party contributors) I agree with your statement 100%.
If we could restore the snapshot from around the year 2000 that'd be great, would like to make some changes.

Consider a slower default rotation speed, esp. on your front page backdrop as you must be considerate of users with movement based nausea. Further consider generating a looping video for the backdrop on the hope page since it's a non-interactive element and could be optimized.

The argument is that it doesn't surface the default written within the jsdoc block comment even when provided by the developer.

I'd like to thank everyone moving their hosting away from shared hosts to VPS.
Been on the same shared hosting platform for 15+ years and the hardware's load average dropped to ~16% on a 64-core Epyc /w 512gb RAM. Easily handles half million unique bursts without breaking a sweat.

I took it one step further even earlier using a Flash file as a backdrop which was able to achieve the glass effect while still being in a dynamic moveable frame. Can't recall if it used iframes, would need to dig up the code but considering the era it probably did.
