BackScene 1.6

📋 BackScene Changelog

---

🆕 New Features

• Advanced Configuration via config.ini

  • Users can now fine-tune BackScene's behavior using a dedicated config.ini file.
  • New options include:
    • start_minimized: Launch BackScene without showing the main window.
    • start_with_windows: Enable automatic startup with Windows.
    • pause_on_fullscreen: Automatically pause video playback when a fullscreen app is detected.
    • hardware_acceleration, fps, and more for performance tuning.
  • Settings are now split into [BackScene] and [Mpv] sections for better organization and clarity.

• Improved Fullscreen Detection

  • BackScene now uses Windows API (IsZoomed) and screen ratio analysis to more accurately detect fullscreen applications.
  • This ensures smoother pausing behavior and avoids false positives when users open maximized windows.

⚙️ Improvements

• Robust Configuration Handling

  • The app now supports external MPV configuration via mpv.conf.

    --vf=eq
    --contrast=1.0
    --brightness=0.0
    --saturation=1.0
    --hue=80

  • This allows precise control over visual output, including color correction and tone adjustments.

  • Improves usability and flexibility when choosing custom backgrounds.

• Codebase Cleanup

  • Removed outdated logic from Processus.cs and deprecated components like refresh.exe and yt-dlp.exe.
  • MPV startup logic has been refactored for cleaner argument handling and better compatibility with user-defined settings.
