Realse 0.0.7

[0.0.7] — 2026-08-07

Refactoring & Architecture

• Complete Style folder overhaul: Removed dialogs_style.py and split base_style.py into 4 separate files (base.py, buttons.py, components.py, pages.py) for better maintainability.
• Import cleanup: Removed all __init__.py files across the project and updated imports to use explicit paths.
• Style unification: Centralized card styles (DeviceCard, StreamCard) in the global stylesheet via dynamic properties.

Optimizations

• Icon caching: Implemented a caching system for FontAwesome icons to reduce CPU load during UI rendering.
• UI rendering optimization: Removed frequent setStyleSheet calls in widgets in favor of CSS property selectors, improving interface smoothness.
• Code optimization: Overall code cleanup and improved module structure.

Fixed

• Fixed a bug where the navigation button to the Streaming page was not translated, present since the introduction of the translation system. Note: in v0.0.8, an option will be added to allow the "Streaming" button to remain untranslated, since many users already understand the term as-is (translated as "Flux" in French, "Transmisión" in Spanish). This option may be removed later.
