A hotfix for Monitors & Widgets: a cleaner Menu, auto RAM and VRAM sizes, and tidier layouts.

🆕 New

  • 🧭 Cleaner Menu, grouped into Look, This layout and Readings. Size now goes from 1% to 300%, with a Reset button back to 100%.
  • 🖱️ Click a layout to switch: while the Menu is open, click any layout and its screen and size settings switch to it. No need to reopen the Menu for each skin.
  • 📊 Memory bars: one Off / On switch shows RAM and VRAM out of your PC's real sizes, so 12 GB and 24 GB cards show right. It replaces the fixed 8 / 16 / 32 GB choices.
  • 📅 Date: pick 21 October, October 21 or 10/21/2026.
  • Horizontal 2 now shows RAM, and it and Vertical show RAM and VRAM bars when Memory bars are on.

🔧 Fixed

  • The desktop widgets could show the wrong total video memory (often 8 GB).
  • The Menu's RAM and VRAM settings didn't change the desktop widgets.
  • On Lancool 207 (sideways), the memory bars sat on the bottom edge.
  • Every skin can be dragged again.

✨ Tidier layouts

  • Upright case screens (Lancool 207, Lian Li 8.8", Xeneon Edge Box) use their space better: the RAM / VRAM part fits its numbers and the charts get the room.
  • Bar screens show the FPS stats on one line.
  • The repeated Core clock is gone from the second-monitor layouts, and the full 16x9 / Portrait layouts drop the small FPS line (the Performance chart already shows FPS).
