v0.5.0.0: Settings Navigation, Troubleshoot Page, and Launch Visuals

OmniConsole's settings have been completely refactored to use a multi-page navigation layout, allowing for future expansion. This update also introduces a new Troubleshoot page tailored for FSE recovery, adds launch visuals, and brings handheld optimized UI scaling.

✨ What's New in This Release

  • Settings Navigation Interface:

    • The Settings screen has been overhauled with a NavigationView (hamburger menu), separating options into "General" and new pages.
    • The app's current version number is now conveniently displayed at the bottom of the navigation pane.
  • Handheld Optimization:

    • The navigation menu's hamburger button and items have been scaled up to provide a better hit target for 7-inch touch screens and native handheld devices.
  • Troubleshoot Page for FSE Recovery:

    • Added a new "Troubleshoot" page featuring a "Reset GameBar & Enter FSE" button.
    • This provides an emergency recovery path for situations where the Windows Full Screen Experience (FSE) entry dialog ("Restart for better performance") fails to appear or gets stuck due to a Windows bug.
  • Enhanced Launch Visuals:

    • While a platform is launching, OmniConsole now displays the selected platform's icon along with an animated progress ring, improving the perceived responsiveness during transitions.
  • Gamepad Support:

    • All newly introduced UI elements, including the navigation pane, pages, and troubleshoot actions, are accessible using an Xbox controller (D-pad and A button).
