✨ What's New in v2.0.0 (Beta)

🎯 1. 100% Anti-Cheat Safe In-Game OSD (On-Screen Display)

• Zero DLL Injection: Renders an ultra-fast, click-through hardware telemetry overlay using native Windows layered windows (WS_EX_TRANSPARENT | WS_EX_LAYERED | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW).
• Rich Telemetry: Displays live FPS, 1% Low Frametimes, CPU%, RAM Usage, and Ping (ms).
• Multi-Monitor Safe: Dynamic width clamping ensures the overlay never bleeds over onto secondary monitors.
• Customizable: Add your own brand or streamer clan tag in settings. Press Ctrl+Shift+O or use the dashboard to toggle anytime.

🖥️ 2. Secondary Desktop Hardware HUD

• Docks full terminal-based hardware telemetry (btop4win + bottom + live ping graph) onto your secondary display.
• Multiple presets: Tri-Pane Balanced, Esports Ping Focused, and Minimal Dual-Pane.
• 1-click Launch, Force Restart, and Close HUD from the dashboard.

🛡️ 3. Universal Dark Cyberpunk UI & Modals

• Replaced all legacy white Win32 message boxes with custom, high-contrast dark cyberpunk modal dialogs (#0F172A) featuring:
  • Color-coded borders based on dialog type (Emerald for Success/Info, Amber for Warning, Rose for Error, Sky Blue for Confirmations).
  • Drag-to-move window interaction, keyboard shortcuts (Enter to confirm, Esc to cancel).

🔄 4. Auto-Watcher & System Tray Companion

• Autonomous Game Detection: Detects when monitored games start and exit, automatically applying optimizations and restoring background apps upon closing the game.
• Tray Companion: Runs quietly in the notification area with a quick-access right-click menu and hotkey support (Ctrl+F12).

⚡ 5. Low-Latency Tweaks & Subsystem Optimizations

• 0.5ms System Timer: Eliminates micro-stutters by locking system timer resolution to 0.5ms (NtSetTimerResolution).
• Memory Purge: Flushes Windows Standby Cache and trims bloated process working sets with zero third-party dependencies (NtSetSystemInformation).
• ProBalance & QoS: Dynamic CPU affinity and EcoQoS throttling for background apps to keep all cores dedicated to your active game.
• GPU Driver Update Checker: Detects installed GPU (AMD Radeon / NVIDIA GeForce) and checks for driver updates.
