What's Changed in HexAid v2.3.0

🎨 Apple Built-in App Aesthetics (HIG) Redesign

  • Apple Unified Titlebar with Generous Breathing Room: Upgraded to macOS 52pt unified toolbar styling (toolbarStyle = .unified, titlebarSeparatorStyle = .none) with ample breathing room around traffic lights, seamless title typography, and integrated bottle count/refresh controls.
  • Apple Liquid Glass App Icon & HIG Squircle Padding: Pixel-perfect standard macOS 824×824 squircle centered in 1024×1024 canvas with 100px margins and native Dock drop shadow (offset: (0, -12), blur: 24, alpha: 0.40). Full support for Dark Mode and Clear Mode iconstack appearances.
  • Apple-Style Icon Wells: Colorful squircle icon wells with smooth gradients and hierarchical SF Symbols (film.stack, cpu, link, gauge, chart.xyaxis.line, sparkles.tv, gamecontroller).
  • Inset-Grouped Cards: Translucent cards (cornerRadius: 10) with subtle separator borders and uppercase category headers.
  • Segmented Top-Level Navigation: Divided the app into 3 focused workspaces: Patcher, Optimizations, and Activity & Caches.
  • Sticky Bottom Action Footer: Anchored the primary action buttons in a persistent bottom bar so actions are always within reach.
  • Xcode / Console.app Execution Log: Integrated terminal with line counter badge, Copy/Clear controls, monospaced typography, and smooth auto-scrolling.

⚡ New Gaming & Bottle Optimizations

  • Apple Metal Performance HUD Toggle (MTL_HUD_ENABLED=1): Overlay real-time FPS, frame pacing graph, and GPU/VRAM load.
  • NVIDIA RTX D3DMetal Spoofing (0x10DE / RTX 4090): Reports an NVIDIA GPU to Windows games to bypass UE5 driver warnings and unlock in-game DLSS (routing to Apple MetalFX).
  • macOS Game Mode Enabler: Automatically injects public.app-category.games into CrossOver and bottle game shortcuts for automatic macOS gamepolicyd priority and Bluetooth controller boost.
  • Live Storage & Shader Cache Inspector: Live calculation and one-click purge of D3DMetal shader caches in /var/folders and GStreamer registries.
