v1.0.6: Hardware Specs & Storage Health Diagnostics
Theme Gallery and Preferences redesign release.
Added
- Visual Theme Gallery: replaces the plain dropdown with an interactive visual gallery displaying all 41 themes. Features real-time 5-color swatch bars, active theme preview banner, category filter chips (Modern Dark, Light & Pastel, Retro & Vintage, Cyber & Synth, Code Palettes, Warm & Nature), live search filtering, "Surprise Me" randomizer, and default reset.
- Live System Vitals Dashboard: introduces zero-overhead real-time telemetry cards on the Dashboard for Network bandwidth (download & upload transfer rates, session transfer totals, and active connection adapter), RAM utilization with dynamic high-memory pressure alerts and quick Memory Cleaner access, real-time multi-core CPU load, GPU temperature monitoring & VRAM utilization, and live system uptime with fluid OutCubic animated transitions.
- Hardware Specs Skeleton Loading: renders modern animated pulsing skeleton placeholder cards across the PC Specs view during async hardware, GPU, and SMART sensor queries, eliminating empty layout states.
- Overhauled Memory Cleaner View & Kernel Cache Purging: redesigns the Memory Cleaner view with a high-impact Hero status banner, 2-column hardware vitals, and a multi-tier memory flush engine. Supports multi-pass process working set trimming (
psapi.EmptyWorkingSet) for standard users, alongside one-click administrator elevation to purge the Windows kernel standby list (priorities 0–7), modified page list, and system file cache. - Segmented Settings Architecture: organizes Preferences & Configuration into dedicated sub-tabs (Appearance & Themes, Safety & Protection, Exclusions & Roots, Scan Performance, Category Rules, Backup & Sync) with sticky top actions and quick-tuning performance presets.
- Pure Material Icon Typography & View Upgrades: renders crisp Google Material Icons dynamically colored to match the active theme palette across all preferences, action buttons, category chips, and toolbar controls in every view, alongside real-time active scanning indicators.
Changed
- Branding consistency: standardizes application title and branding to pure CrapCleaner, removing legacy comparison references.
