Backend improvement release mostly, should be performance and stability gains in most situations.

Small additions for users, w-we have those right? Sure we do!
#Additions

  • Noticing how sexy INTENSE SHADOWS were on the Analogue Clock I made them optional for all widgets, so you can literally put more shadow on your shadows now.

  • Advanced positioning system that allows all major posi- what do you mean that was the previous release?! Well we, we refactored it and shit so now it's more valuable or something! Fuck off.

  • Tooltip pass! Added many more (but not nearly enough) tool tips to options so you have more of an idea what clicking something could possibly do if said something isn't broken. Reddit tooltips are partially stylised now as well. Partially. Emphasis.

  • Separator line! You bet your ass me adding a line between the weather and the forecast weather is a god damn feature!

  • Margin corrections! Analogue clock now smartly sets its margins depending on if the border is on, numerals exist or the time-zone does. I probably did this in the previous release too but we have blank space to fill with text and I didn't force you to read this shit.

  • Visualiser strength tuning. Beyond my auto dynamic flooring and shape mapping I've put in an abusive amount of sliders you can use to completely screw the visualiser up to your liking. Center is now vocals, ridges are bass and outer-rims are drums and kicks. You can set your own sample size/resolution, contrary to how you would likely think, lower resolution is actually better (latency) and more cpu intensive.

As a side note, I suggest 40px margins on 4k, 20px on 1440p and widgets all change size based on text size so you can break things wonderfully by mucking about with that. I'm considering an eventual custom placement system with snapping but at that stage we've basically built a god damn desktop.

Setup_SRPSS.exe for the screensaver, Media Center for the.....Media Center.

[EDIT 1] MC version has been hotifxed while screensaver is left to rot until next major version because I'm not arsed to hit compile twice.

Hotfix only includes a full settings rework (and there will be another!) which finally fixes manual visualizer tuning as well as improved adaptive sensitivity so bars are no pinned 24/7 and slightly less locked threads. It has a bug with middle positioning items for now but considering the massive multiprocessing refactor coming we'll wait for that.

[EDIT 2] Okay fine fine may my 0 users enjoy the updated screen saver version though the only benefits most will notice is the visualiser tuning and gating to save performance.
