Release v0.8.0 · AtvouzX/nitrous_fork

Nitrous v0.8.0

Physical Nitro Button Integration: Full support for the dedicated laptop Nitro key across all 8 generations of Acer Sense software (PSLauncher.exe, NSLauncher.exe, NitroSense.exe, etc.) via IFEO registry redirection.
Reliable Window Activation: Single-instance Named Mutex & Event architecture ensures pressing or releasing the Nitro key smoothly brings the dashboard to the front without premature minimization or duplicate processes.
CPU Power Management & Boost Suppression: Simultaneous dual AC/DC power tuning (/setacvalueindex & /setdcvalueindex) with Turbo Boost disabled on Quiet/Balanced profiles to eliminate thermal spikes and fan revving on Intel Core and AMD Ryzen laptops.
Zero-Process GPU Telemetry: Replaced nvidia-smi.exe process spawning with direct nvml.dll P/Invoke calls, reducing CPU/disk overhead to 0% during telemetry while strictly preserving discrete GPU D3Cold sleep on battery.
Global Hotkeys & On-Screen Display (OSD): Added customizable hotkeys for cycling power modes with a lightweight, color-coded on-screen badge.
100% UI Tooltip Transparency: Every interactive button, slider, toggle, and clock offset input now features dark-themed tooltips explaining underlying hardware registers, processor state percentages, and boost policies.
Security Hardening: Enforced System32 search paths across all native P/Invoke declarations (psapi.dll, user32.dll, kernel32.dll) and double-quoted all registry executable paths.
