v0.7.3

v0.7.3 — Visual presets, full-game damage scaling, themed settings

🎚️ Visual presets

A new Preset dropdown at the top of Settings lets you switch the whole look in one click:

• Inferno — everything cranked: bigger numbers, epic FX kicking in early and often.
• Arcade — large, bright, cool→hot colour numbers.
• Subtle — gradient numbers, gentle pop, no fire/fireball/flash.
• Minimal — plain flat numbers, no animations or impact FX (lightest).
• Default (balanced) — the tuned defaults.

Presets are applied live. Any preset you Import is copied into your own presets folder, so it joins the dropdown automatically and is there every time. An optional gow_overlay-0.7.3-presets.zip (the four built‑ins as standalone files) is attached below for sharing/editing.

📈 Damage FX rescaled for a whole playthrough

The effect scaling was reworked to fit the entire game instead of a narrow band:

• Number size, colour ramp and epic‑impact intensity now ramp logarithmically across the full damage range (a handful early, thousands late).
• The practical result: small early hits stay clean and readable, and the fire, fireballs and explosions appear more and more often — and more intensely — as your damage grows through the game. No re‑tuning needed as you get stronger.

The Settings sliders were updated to match (size growth is now px‑per‑doubling; epic min/full damage span the full range).

🩸 Themed settings window

The settings window is now the same God of War black‑and‑blood‑red theme as the launcher (shared styling), in the game's own font.
