- Fixed font size differences in the Shelf contextual menu
- You can now access Sorting Preferences in Column View by clicking on the column header triangle
- Fixed the drawing of the reload button in the status bar

- Fixed the broken Terminal background transparency preference
- Terminal window now matches browser window style
Other
