v0.1.2.0: Refined Full-Screen UX & Localization Improvements

This update significantly improves the full-screen experience and application lifecycle, while adding localization support for the Start Menu Settings entry.

✨ What's New in This Release

  • Refined Full-Screen Experience:
    • Migrated to a native WinUI 3 full-screen borderless window architecture for a more seamless and stable integration with the Xbox Full Screen Experience (FSE).
    • Addressed a critical issue that could cause an infinite restart loop when launching platforms from FSE.
  • Start Menu Localization: The "OmniConsole Settings" entry in the Windows Start Menu is now fully localized and will automatically adapt to your system language (English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese).
  • UX Enhancements:
    • Zero Background Footprint: OmniConsole now gracefully exits automatically after successfully launching the target gaming platform, consuming zero background resources.
    • The Settings app now closes automatically after you click "Save & Exit", streamlining the configuration process.
