Aug 1, 2025Monthly Summary for 2025-08 (syd711/vpin-studio): Delivered substantial UI enhancements, reliability improvements, and performance optimizations across the project. Key features delivered include Overlay UI Enhancements (separate overlay tab and fix background refreshes) and Highscore UI Enhancements (divider adjustment, auto-expand on layer selection, PauseMenu integration). Card Template Editor improvements refined the template handling, bounds acceptance via ctrl-click, text width adjustments, and preview sizing. In addition, the system benefited from a set of performance optimisations to reduce lag and improve startup times, including general optimisations and specific measures to prevent small lag. The Highscorecard flow was enhanced with reworked preview and marker export to files, images loading alongside data, and layout/layer improvements including two new layers and zoom/positioning controls. Reliability work included stabilizing the locking system, removing unused code, avoiding NPEs, and eliminating double loading. Several bug fixes addressed rendering consistency (palette blending, transparency), test stability, and UI labeling/typos.
