Jul 1, 2025July 2025 (2025-07) monthly summary for Lichtblick-Suite/lichtblick: Delivered user-facing visual improvements and a robust playback control configuration with a focus on reliability, performance, and maintainability. Key features include Image Visualization Enhancements with brightness/contrast sliders, GLSL shader-based pixel manipulation via ShaderMaterial, and correct color rendering by using LinearSRGBColorSpace. Implemented Playback Step Size Configuration with a new general settings option and a refactor into a custom hook to improve testability. Bug fix: validation for step size input ensures a positive number and defaults to 100ms if invalid or empty; the UI indicates issues (red input) to prevent misconfiguration. These changes were thoroughly tested on web and desktop platforms and supported by unit tests. Impact: improved user confidence in playback controls, higher visual fidelity, and easier maintainability for future iterations. Technologies/skills: GLSL shaders, shader-based rendering, React hooks, color spaces, input validation, unit testing, cross-platform testing.
