UCM v3.0.2 Beta

Hey everyone, thanks for the continuous feedback, bug reports, and preset sharing. It genuinely helps shape where this project goes.

One thing I want to address: camera preference is subjective. What feels perfect to one person might feel completely wrong to 200 others, and that's fine. That's exactly why this release focuses heavily on giving you the control. I've taken a step back from trying to hand-tune camera values for everyone and instead built out the tools so you can dial in exactly what you want, and share it with others who feel the same way.

The Big Stuff in v3.0.2

Every popup is now an in-app overlay. No more janky Windows dialog boxes. Everything from preset browsing, import/export, new preset creation, and error messages now lives inside UCM as themed gold-bordered overlay cards. It feels way more polished.

God Mode actually works properly now. Your overrides persist across tab switches. Previously if you tweaked values in God Mode then switched to Quick Settings and back, your edits were gone. Now they're saved to advanced_overrides.json and re-applied automatically. 54 attributes also have tooltips now so you're not guessing what things do.

New Preset and Full Manual Control. When you create a new preset you now choose between "Managed by UCM" (curated quick settings) or "Full Manual Control" (God Mode, you own every value). This makes it clear what you're getting into upfront.

Community presets are a first-class feature. The catalog, browsing, downloading, and updating all live in the main app. If you've built something you like, export it and share it. That's the whole point.

Fresh install and upgrade paths are clean. v3.x users just replace the exe. v2.x users need a clean install (instructions below). Your presets and settings survive v3.x upgrades.

Still waiting on Nexus approval for the v3 page update. Will push there as soon as it's through.
