New Release | v3.0.3

Release v3.0.3

• Changed the title of the main window;
• Updates will now be released via a Maven package, which will make them more stable;
• I adjusted the sizes of all the components; now they look more symmetrical in relation to each other;
• The update system has been redesigned. Updates will now be synchronized via the GitHub Release Version API rather than through the version.txt file. This will ensure the program remains stable even when pushes and versions are out of sync.
• The --win-dir-chooser parameter has been removed from the .exe file. You can NO LONGER install the program in a folder of your choice. All files will be installed to the ~\AppData\Roaming\ShiningPr1sm~ folder. This will eliminate unwanted errors with the Windows operating system and various issues that might have arisen (in particular, the unauthorized deletion of files from the desktop when installing the program in its own folder).
