-    <value># [April 2020] Push and Windows 10X support
+    <value># [May 2020] Push it to the [limit](https://youtu.be/9D-QD_HIfjA)
+This month I was focusing on improvements to push and some general UI updates.
+I've updated to [WinUi 2.4](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/toolkits/winui/release-notes/winui-2.4) and with that updated the chats UI once again 😁.
+Now the background will only display behind chat messages, not behind the chat selection pane.
+This increases readability and improves contrast especially when a light theme is being used.
 
-I've invested **a lot** of time and effort since the last release ([[March 2020] Bug Fixes and Refactoring](https://github.com/UWPX/UWPX-Client/releases/tag/v.0.24.0.0)) into UWPX.  
-The first part of the time I spend into making sure UWPX supports the new [Windows 10X](https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2019/10/02/introducing-windows-10x-enabling-dual-screen-pcs-in-2020/) dual screen layout.
-To archive this, I had to update the [MasterDetailsView](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communitytoolkit/controls/masterdetailsview) control provided by the [Windows Community Toolkit](https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit) ([PR](https://github.com/windows-toolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit/pull/3173)).
+Besides that I was working on adding background push support to UWPX. Now (in theory) UWPX can receive chat messages when the app is not running.
+Although everything for it should be in place, I'm unable to test it.  
+Like I mentioned [here](https://twitter.com/UWPX_APP/status/1254786200134578178) I deleted (by accident) the [WNS](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/shell/tiles-and-notifications/windows-push-notification-services--wns--overview) backend at Microsofts Live Services.  
+I do **not** know how to create a new one, without having to register UWPX as a new app in the store...
 
-All the rest of my time went into adding push support to UWPX.
-Therefor I've started developing my [own push server](https://github.com/UWPX/UWPX-Push-Server#publishing-the-channel-uri) for UWPX, based roughly on the [Conversations Push Proxy](https://github.com/iNPUTmice/p2) by [@iNPUTmice](https://github.com/iNPUTmice).  
-This is still a work in progress topic. If you can't wait for it, you can play around with it by enabling it via `Settings` -&gt; `Accounts` -&gt; `Enable push`. Since it's still work in progress **do not expect it to work all the time, or even at all 😅**.
+All my other time went into developing and extending the [UWPX push server](https://github.com/UWPX/UWPX-Push-Server#publishing-the-channel-uri).

 To get more information about the push setup and how it works, you can continue reading [here](https://github.com/UWPX/UWPX-Push-Server/blob/master/README.md).
 
-If you enable the debug settings (press 5 times on the app version on the settings page to enable the debug mode) you get even more information about the current push status and can request a test push notification from the server (in case it's running).
