Version 5.1 refines the WinForms interface for smoother rendering and more
comfortable everyday use while preserving full compatibility with existing
configurations, preferences, and backups.

• Removed the confusing width/height separator and aligned both custom fields
  in a clean two-column layout.

  targeted double buffering to layout containers.
• Improved rounded-card antialiasing, DPI readability, focus feedback, and
  control density.

  disabled actions, antialiased cards, and repaint behavior.
