The splash screen was the forked project's artwork. It was a PictureBox
stretching a raster banner -- a white checkmark and light streaks, their mark
and their identity, on a form that then tinted it with an accent it was never
drawn for. It is now painted from NocturneBrand, which is this app's own
glyph and already vector, so it is sharp at any scale and follows the theme.
The two orbits of the lockup turn while the app loads: there is no progress
to report during startup, so it says "working" and nothing more.
Interface
Confirmations appeared and vanished between two frames. The toast had a
dismiss timer and no motion at all -- shown, then hidden. It now fades up and
rises a little as it arrives, and fades as it goes. It fires on nearly every
successful action, so it was the cheapest-feeling moment in the app and one
of the most frequent.
"Reading system information..." sat perfectly still. Hardware, UWP Apps
and Apps all showed a static line over a static grey icon while the slowest
sweeps in the app ran behind them, which is indistinguishable from a hang. NScreen grows a SetLoading beside SetEmpty that adds a shuttle easing
back and forth under the message. There is no percentage to report during a
WMI sweep, so it reports none -- only that the app is still working.
Housekeeping
Removed the inherited development docs and the Linux build harness. The
handoff document and the developer guide described a Mono/Wine workflow that
cannot run on Windows -- the harness pointed at a hardcoded Linux path -- and
the guide is rewritten around the MSBuild build that actually ships. The
handoff document is gone entirely.
Removed every remaining image inherited from the forked project. The
splash banner, a marketing banner showing that application's own window and
wordmark, its purple "DOWNLOAD" button and its flag strip. The last three
were referenced by nothing at all. Also dropped a 128x128 two-colour
placeholder that had sat unused in the resources since the redesign. The app
now ships no artwork it did not draw itself.
