0.2.2
New mouse pointer
- The blue tactician pointer is replaced by a white pixel-art arrow with a dark
plum outline that stays readable over grass, plains, forests and menus. - The pointer is half its former size and is drawn at full display resolution,
so it stays sharp on Retina and other high-DPI displays. It is the same size
on the map, in menus and in dialogue, and no longer grows with map zoom. - Mouse Cursor Sprite by Squidjees on Fire Emblem Universe.
macOS interface polish
- Redesigned game library with a toolbar, an empty-library drop target, last
played and save status per game, and Show Saves in Finder. - Settings are organized into General, Video, Controls and Hotkeys tabs.
- A View menu holds the extended-renderer toggle, video shader presets and
Adjust Shader…, which tunes the active preset's parameters live.
