Plasmoid Visualizer v1.2 - Pro Editor & Multi-Layering

This update transforms the standalone application into a professional-grade visualizer editor with advanced layering and a modular interface.

Pro Editor Enhancements

  • Modular Window UI: The single control panel has been split into dedicated, closable windows:
    • Audio Settings: Device selection and file management.
    • Layer Manager: Add, remove, and toggle visibility for multiple layers.
    • Layer Editor: Deep customization for the selected layer.
    • Debug Info: Real-time performance and audio metrics.
  • Main Menu Bar: Easily toggle editor windows from the top menu.

Multi-Layer Visualizer System

  • Stackable Layers: Create complex visualizer templates by stacking multiple layers.
  • Per-Layer Customization:
    • Independent Gain & Falloff: Tune each layer's sensitivity and decay.
    • Custom Colors: Full RGBA color control for every layer.
    • Frequency Range Selection: Focus layers on specific bands (e.g., a "Bass" layer and a "Highs" layer).
    • Individual Scaling: Adjust bar heights per layer.

Stability & Compatibility

  • Widget-Safe Refactor: The core engine was refactored to support these advanced features while maintaining 100% backward compatibility with the Plasma widget.
  • Performance Optimized: Efficient rendering of multiple layers using OpenGL blending.
