v0.1.0.0: Initial Release

The first release of OmniConsole — a custom WinUI 3 FSE Home App that replaces the Xbox-only default, letting you auto-launch your preferred gaming platform from the Windows 11 Full Screen Experience.

✨ What's New in This Release

  • Multi-Platform Support:
    • Launch Steam Big Picture, Xbox App, or Epic Games Launcher as your FSE Home App.
    • Steam launch includes a Registry-based fallback if the protocol URI is unavailable.
  • Dual Application Entry Points:
    • OmniConsole — Registered as the FSE Home App. Automatically launches your configured platform and hides itself.
    • OmniConsole Settings — A separate Start Menu entry for changing your default platform without interfering with FSE behavior.
  • Single Instance Management:
    • Uses AppInstance redirection to ensure only one instance runs at a time across both entry points.
