Opalite 1.6 is a top-to-bottom rebuild with a calmer, faster, more native app on every platform.
• Onyx is now a one-time $9.99 purchase. No subscription, unlock everything forever on every device signed in with your Apple Account.
• A cleaner look across the app: a plain, focused welcome, readable color codes and details that never truncate, higher-contrast buttons, and swatches that stay visible on light and dark backgrounds.
• Canvas: opening a canvas is fast and light again, the ink strip stays out of the tools' way, and drawing with a pointer on Mac works as it should.
• SwatchBar opens reliably on iPad and Mac.
• Settings is simpler: the hex-prefix preference is a single toggle, the Onyx page is tidier, and sections you didn't need are gone.
• New Color: a Done button above every keyboard.
• Spanish, Canadian French, and Japanese throughout.
• Many fixes for sync, Community, and stability.
