What's Changed? - 1.84.8

[Fix] Stutters While Switching Image/Video Backgrounds, by @neon-nyan

The presenter frame of the Image and Video Background previously stutters while transitioning from the previous to the current one, noticeable especially on high-refresh rate monitors. This issue should be fixed now and the fade transitions should be a lot smoother.

Note

The video was recorded in 240 FPS. To illustrate the comparison better, please try to reduce the playback speed to 0.5x or lower.

[New] #889 #906 Add toggle to force static image on dynamic background

The new "Force Static Image over Dynamic Background" has been added under the "Video Background Settings" section. While enabled, the dynamic background will use static image and video background will be disabled. However, if the background has only video file in it, the video will be kept playing. This setting is disabled by default.
