Vanta Launcher v1.4 Release! 馃殌

This update focuses on optimizing vertical layout spacing, eliminating UI shifts during launch operations, and automating Fabric dependency resolutions.

Features & Improvements

  • Zero Layout-Shift Launch Sequence:
    Replaced the dynamic visibility toggles for the progress bar with a dedicated QStackedWidget container. The launcher now swaps between the "Play" button and the download/launch progress bar without shifting surrounding UI elements or altering the card structure.

  • Ultra-Compact Profile Card:
    Reduced the window dimensions (height adjusted to 270px) and shortened the card frame (height adjusted to 220px). This eliminates unneeded negative vertical space, resulting in a cleaner, tighter layout.

  • Programmatic Menu Icon:
    Replaced the previous gear settings icon with a programmatically drawn, 3-bar hamburger menu. This prevents issues with cross-platform emoji rendering and system font inconsistencies while retaining the launcher's custom styling.

  • Smart Fabric Detection:
    The launcher now automatically triggers the Fabric Loader installation sequence if custom mods are detected in the active profile's mods folder, bypassing the need to manually toggle Performance Mode.

  • Automated Fabric API Dependency Injector:
    When searching and installing a mod through the Modrinth integration, the installer will automatically scan, resolve, and download the correct matching version of fabric-api if it is missing from the directory.

  • Polished Height Consistency:
    Locked UI elements鈥攊ncluding text fields, comboboxes, and buttons鈥攖o matching fixed heights (32px / 36px) and explicit paddings to maintain design uniformity.
