VRmin 0.50

Simpler quality settings, your microphone in games, menus in more games, and a clearer VRmin Host and headset menu.

Pick Low, Medium, High or Ultra. Each one says which Macs it's meant for, and the one for your Mac's chip is marked as recommended.
Custom shows every setting on its own (sharpness, frame rate, image quality, foveated encoding and codec).
The same choices are in VRmin Host, in the headset's Settings and in the in-game menu. Each game can also have its own quality.

Games can now use the Quest's microphone (or a headset with a microphone plugged into the Quest's USB-C port).
Or choose any microphone on your Mac, like a USB or Bluetooth headset.
Set it in VRmin Host › Settings › Games microphone. Using the Quest's microphone needs a small virtual microphone, VRmin Mic, installed once from there (macOS asks for your password).
The headset only records while a game is open.

Menus that were missing now show up in DirectX 11 games, like Kayak VR: Mirage.
Newer SteamVR games that closed right away when opening now reach VRmin, thanks to a newer OpenComposite (thanks, Stooovie!).
Fixed: the headset app could close when a game finished loading (it happened with Beat Saber).
Tested and working: The Lab and Catto Pew Pew.

First-time setup is now 3 numbered steps, and it gets out of the way once everything is installed.
The status at the top fixes what's missing when you click it (for example, it opens Steam).
Play works even before the Quest connects.
Each game's quality and performance settings are in the settings button on its cover.
After closing a game you haven't tried before, VRmin Host asks if it worked.
Settings apply by themselves when you close them.
The USB-C cable features (Sentinel Mode and installing the Quest app) have their own card.

Settings are grouped as General, Quality, Comfort and Studio, with separate pages for Hands, Gestures and Laser.
The portal is now in Rooms.
Long explanations are behind a ? button.
The first tab is now called Connection.
The main screen takes the shape of the Mac monitor you show, with no black bars, also in rooms with a fixed screen.
The room runs at 90 Hz from the start.
Smoother animations: panels open with a little bounce, the wrist menu comes out of your watch, a glow when you change rooms, and the game list appears in a cascade.
If the app ever closes unexpectedly, the reason is saved in the report so it can be fixed.
