Orbit v0.3.0

What's new in v0.3.0

3D Earth centerpiece — the day ring now surrounds a slowly rotating 3D Earth instead of an empty center, built with a real day/night terminator and a soft atmosphere glow.

Glowing orb fallback — a lightweight alternative centerpiece (no 3D rendering) is available as a toggle in Settings → Appearance, for lower-spec machines or anyone who prefers it. It's also used automatically if 3D rendering isn't available on your system.

Fixed a real background GPU bug — Orbit was quietly holding onto ~15% GPU usage the entire time it sat in the system tray, due to how the window-hiding step interacted with the app's rendering engine. This is now fixed — Orbit is properly idle when minimized to tray, using close to 0% GPU.

Smaller fixes: corrected how the app behaves under Windows' "reduce motion" accessibility setting, and a minor layout clipping issue at small window sizes.
