Default automatic-restore duration — Settings → General → Fan Control adds “Restore automatic control” (15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour or never), used each time you switch to a manual mode. Changes in the menu apply to that session only and reset once control returns to macOS (#32)
Panel animation can be turned off — Settings → Menu Bar → Animation adds a “Panel animation” switch. When off, the fans stop spinning and mode changes don’t animate while readings still update live, further lowering CPU use (#32)
Improvements
Smoother control mode switching — the selection glides between modes, the strip no longer jolts when leaving Automatic, and all mode labels share one size (#32)
Fixed RPM selection — the current RPM in the Fixed picker, including a custom value, is highlighted with the same background as the control strip (#32)
Reorganized settings — General is regrouped into Fan Control, Notifications and FanBar; a healthy control service collapses to a single status row; rows, controls and headers share one rhythm; “Check for Updates…” moves beside the version (#32)
“Hardware safety limits” is renamed “Restore automatic control” to better describe what it does
