v0.6-alpha

Changelog - Pie Launcher

[0.6-alpha] - 2026-01-17

New Features

• Visual Gesture Editor: New settings tab to customize your workflow using a drag-and-drop interface.
  • Configure Single Tap and Double Tap entry points.
  • Define custom Right-Click Cycle flows (e.g., Switcher -> Controller -> Launcher).
• Drag-and-Drop Launcher: Reorder your pinned apps and groups by simply dragging them in the settings list.
• Dynamic Icons: Smart icon generation for controller actions.
  • Added specific icons for VS Code (Command Palette, Zen Mode, Split) and Browsers (Incognito, Bookmarks).
• Smart Context switching: Double-tapping to switch modes now preserves the active window context, ensuring Controller shortcuts work on the correct app.

Interaction Improvements

• Click Outside to Close: Clicking anywhere on the screen (outside the menu) now instantly closes the wheel.
• Right-Click Cycle: Right-clicking the center ring now reliably cycles to the next mode in your custom flow.
• Controller Configuration: Shows a helpful "Configure [App]" button if no shortcuts are defined for the current program, instead of failing silently.

Performance

• Instant Open: Completely eliminated the "first-launch freeze". The menu window appears immediately.
• GPU Acceleration: Applied BitmapCache to shadows and shapes for silky smooth 60fps animations.
• Memory Optimization: Reduced RAM usage (~150-250MB) with LRU icon caching.
