Sidebar Redesign

• Replaced "GLOBAL" header text with a row of quick-access shortcut icons: Matrix Mixer, Settings, Loudness Compensation, Crossfeed, Stats for Nerbs, and Bypass Master EQ
• Icons illuminate when their feature is active (window open or feature enabled)
• Bypass icon turns red when engaged
• Hover over an icon produces a subtle brightness increase with ease-in/out animation
• Matrix Mixer and Stats icons now toggle their windows open/closed on click
• Loudness Compensation and Crossfeed: left-click toggles on/off, right-click opens settings window
• Removed the standalone "Bypass Master EQ" toggle button

Multi-Device Support

• App now discovers and tracks all connected DSPi devices by serial number
• Device selector in the sidebar footer shows the active device name with a dropdown chevron
• When multiple devices are connected, clicking the selector opens a flyout to switch between them
• Current device indicated with a checkmark in the flyout
• Switching devices with unsaved preset changes prompts a Save/Discard/Cancel dialog
• Auto-reconnects to the previously selected device if it is unplugged and re-plugged
• Auto-selects the first device if none is currently selected

Connection Status

• Moved connection status to the sidebar footer alongside the CPU meter
• Connection indicator dot and device name shown inline
• Right-click the connection area to trigger a reconnect
• Removed the standalone reconnect button
• "Connected" text replaced with the active device display name (e.g. "DSPi (A1B2C3D4)")

Title Bar

• Moved the menu button to the left side of the title bar
• Changed the menu icon from a gear to a hamburger menu icon

Preset Selector

• Removed "(empty)" suffix from unoccupied preset slots
• Preset ComboBox is now transparent by default, border appears on hover
• Preset text color matched to channel name color for consistency

Theming

• CPU meter bar, connection indicator dot, preamp slider track, and slider thumb now use the Windows system accent color
• CPU meter still turns red when load exceeds 90%; connection dot turns red when disconnected

Layout Polish

• CPU meter and connection status consolidated into a single compact footer row
• Increased bottom row element sizes slightly for better readability (font 11, meter bar 44x6)
• Reduced gap between shortcut icon row and system status section
• Device selector box shows a subtle rounded highlight on hover
