CronyX v1

[REF4IK]

Project renamed! The project has been renamed from Winlator ref4ik to CronyX — the app will now appear under the new name. All previous versions were released under the name Winlator ref4ik, but from now on the project will be called CronyX.

What's New in This Version:

• New loading screen for containers

• Big Picture mode

• Update checker — automatic GitHub release check on startup, dialog with "What's new" notes, APK download with progress, installation, "Skip version"

• Wine registry editor — tab in container settings: key tree with search, value editing, .reg import/expor

• Container exit screen — return to menu without process restart, async cleanup without UI freeze

• New Customization section:
  → 13 theme presets (OLED, cyberpunk, dracula, matrix, etc.), System/Light/Dark mode, Material You, custom color via ColorPicker (HSV+HEX)
  → UI/font scale, corner radius, theme export/import as JSON
  → Wallpapers: image/GIF/video, blur/darken, adjust screen (pinch/pan, separate portrait and landscape), surface transparency
  → Screen transition animations: 7 styles (fade/slide/zoom/scale...), duration 100–600 ms
  → X-Server menu: hide unused in-game menu items via checkboxes

• Controls editor fully migrated to Compose — panel with Undo/Redo, Quick Add (13 ready-made bindings), element settings (scale/opacity/rotation/color/icon), key picker (keyboard/mouse/gamepad with 16 zones)

• Shortcuts screen — game version from EXE (PEParser — VS_VERSION_INFO, 12 metadata fields), green version badge, "About game" dialog, playtime and launch count on cards

• Steam library redesign — Downloads/Steam tabs, Grid/Compact/Rows views, auto accents and initials on covers, new download cards (percent/speed/ETA), animated buttons

• FPS counter — added display styles (Winlator Ludashi and GameNative)

• FPS limit via WinNative PresentExtension implementation instead of MangoHud — pacer with back-pressure, "PresentPacer"

• LSFG: some minor changes

• Effects: removed the FSR effect

• SensorReader: added new paths

• Added 4 new selectable languages: Polish, Spanish, Japanese, Arabic

• Fixed: shortcut crashes, game exit crashes, Vulkan cleanup (QueueWaitIdle), driver settings loss, resource leaks in PE parser, empty catch → logging, NPE fixes, spinners (accurate display of the selected wrapper), UI bugs
