Overlay v0.25.0 (beta)

Thessal Beta Release Notes

Features

• Separate DPS graph panel — the damage-per-second graph now has its own dedicated, smoothly-animated panel for better visibility and control.
• Panel closing — close individual panels via a toggle list in the Status panel; reopen them as needed without resetting all settings.
• Customizable chat cooldown — party-chat notification cooldown is now configurable per-user, with improved keyword matching and title-code stripping.
• Settings UI dev-mode toggle — a Settings option to unlock dev-mode features, visible only when the unlock is already active.
• Consistent scrollbars — all scrolling surfaces now share a cohesive overlay-styled scrollbar design.
• Compact Loot panel — the large Loot panel no longer shows item-name labels, saving screen space.
• Dev-mode gating — debug surfaces and alpha-channel updater checks are now hidden by default and only appear when dev mode is unlocked.

Fixes

• Panel drag bounds — fixed a bug where dragging a panel could resize it beyond safe screen bounds.
