Redgear A20 Control Center v0.2.0

Industrial Precision Utility UI, Windows 10/11 Dark Title Bar, Per-Monitor V2 High-DPI Scaling & Fault-Tolerant Safety Hardening.

What's New in v0.2.0

1. Industrial Precision Utility UI Overhaul

  • Native Dark Window Title Bar: Integrated Win32 dwmapi.dll P/Invoke (DWMWA_USE_IMMERSIVE_DARK_MODE) to eliminate glaring white title bars on Windows 10 and 11.
  • Zero-Allocation GDI+ Token Engine: Pre-cached brushes, pens, and system typography (Theme class) ensuring zero heap allocations and zero GC stutter during repainting.
  • Hairline Card Containers: Flat 1px border card panels (CreateSectionPanel) with metadata badges replacing legacy WinForms GroupBoxes.
  • Active Preset Border Highlighting: Immediate visual feedback highlighting the active quick-preset color with an Emerald border.
  • Unified Action Control Row: Reorganized Apply (RAM), Save Profile, and Reset Profile into a cohesive 36px action bar with primary Emerald styling for saving.
  • Modernized TrackBar: Modern brightness slider with TickStyle.None and dynamic percentage readout.
  • Explorer Dark Mode Controls: Applied SetWindowTheme (DarkMode_Explorer) for dark dropdown styling.

2. Native Windows Application Manifest (app.manifest)

  • Per-Monitor V2 High-DPI Scaling: Declared <dpiAwareness>PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness> for crisp rendering across 4K multi-monitor setups without bitmap stretching.
  • Modern Windows Common Controls: Linked Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls v6.0.0.0.
  • Explicit OS Compatibility: Declared support for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 under standard user privileges (asInvoker).

3. Asynchronous Mutex & Hardware Safety

  • Non-Blocking Experimental DPI Dispatch: Offloaded Command 0x09 testing and hardware mutex synchronization (TaskSchedulerHelper.HARDWARE_MUTEX_NAME) to background worker tasks (Task.Run with async/await), eliminating UI thread freezes.
  • Non-Destructive Device Path Enumeration: Switched device path search query to access mode 0, preventing handle-sharing conflicts during USB device scanning.
  • Dynamic Disconnect Recovery: Automatically traps Win32 disconnect errors (1167, 2, 6), invalidates stale device handles, and displays a red status alert.
  • Hotplug Re-Entrancy Guard: Guarded USB hotplug handling with isHotplugHandling to prevent race conditions during rapid cable replugging.

4. Fault-Tolerant Storage & Crash Diagnostics

  • Atomic JSON Profile Serialization: Writes profile updates to .tmp files first with UTF-8 encoding and replaces targets atomically (File.Replace), eliminating risk of profile corruption during sudden power drops.
  • Hex Input Sanitization: Added format validation enforcing #RRGGBB format and synchronizing active color state before saving.
  • Global Crash Trapping: Traps unhandled thread and domain exceptions to %LocalAppData%\RedgearA20\crash.log with complete diagnostic timestamps and stack traces.

5. Multi-Architecture Build Pipeline (build.bat)

  • Added auto-detection for both 64-bit (Framework64) and 32-bit (Framework) .NET Framework csc.exe compilers.
  • Embedded src/app.manifest directly into compiled binaries.
  • Standardized process exit codes (0 on success, 1 on failure) for CI/CD automation.
