v0.6.0.0: Game Bar Integration, Advanced Settings, and UI Refinements

This release introduces deep Game Bar integration, allowing you to control what happens when you press "Home" or "Library" in Game Bar. A new Advanced Settings page houses these options alongside other system behavior toggles. The settings UI has also been refined with card-based grouped controls and instant-save behavior.

✨ What's New in This Release

• Game Bar Integration:

  • Game Bar's "Library" button now opens OmniConsole Settings by default, providing quick access to change your platform without leaving FSE.
  • A new "Direct to Platform" (Passthrough) option routes Game Bar's "Home" and "Library" buttons directly to the default platform's native URI (currently supports Xbox App).
  • Priority logic: "Library → Settings" takes precedence over Passthrough when both are enabled.

• Advanced Settings Page:

  • Added a new "Advanced" page in the settings navigation, with card-based grouped controls for Game Bar behavior.
  • Library Button Opens Settings toggle — controls whether Game Bar's "Library" button opens OmniConsole Settings or launches the gaming platform.
  • Direct to Platform toggle — enables Passthrough mode for Game Bar buttons.

• Instant Save:

  • Platform selection and all toggle switches now save immediately on change. The previous "Save & Exit" button has been replaced with a simple "Exit" button.

• Borderless Maximized Window:

  • Replaced the FullScreen presenter with a borderless maximized window. This eliminates the minimize/maximize/close buttons that could appear during transitions.
  • Windows 11 rounded corners are overridden with square corners via DWM for a clean edge-to-edge appearance.

• Troubleshoot Page Redesign:

  • The Troubleshoot page now uses a card-based layout consistent with the new Advanced page.
  • The "Reset GameBar & Enter FSE" action has been renamed to "Kill Game Bar & Enter FSE" with a compact "Run" button, and the button is now disabled (instead of hidden) when FSE is unavailable.

• Gamepad Navigation:

  • Switched to TryMoveFocusAsync for more reliable XY focus navigation across all settings pages.
  • Added focus redirection on the Advanced page to prevent the Exit button from capturing initial focus when navigating from the sidebar.

⚙️ Prerequisites

• Windows 11 24H2 (Build 26100.7019)+ with Full Screen Experience enabled.

v0.6.0.0：Game Bar 整合、進階設定與 UI 精修

本次更新引入了深度 Game Bar 整合功能，讓您可以控制按下 Game Bar 的「首頁」或「媒體櫃」按鈕時的行為。全新的「進階設定」頁面集中管理這些選項及其他系統行為設定。設定介面也新增卡片式群組控制項，並支援即時儲存。

✨ 本次更新亮點

• Game Bar 整合：

  • Game Bar 的「媒體櫃」按鈕現在預設會開啟 OmniConsole 設定，讓您無需離開 FSE 即可快速更改平台。
  • 新增「直接導向平台」(Passthrough) 選項，可將 Game Bar 的「首頁」與「媒體櫃」按鈕直接導向預設平台的原生 URI（目前支援 Xbox App）。
  • 優先順序邏輯：「媒體櫃 → 設定介面」的優先權高於 Passthrough，兩者同時啟用時以前者為準。

• 進階設定頁面：

  • 在設定導覽中新增「進階」頁面，以卡片式群組控制項管理 Game Bar 行為。
  • 媒體櫃按鈕開啟設定開關 — 控制 Game Bar 的「媒體櫃」按鈕是開啟 OmniConsole 設定還是啟動遊戲平台。
  • 直接導向平台開關 — 啟用 Game Bar 按鈕的 Passthrough 模式。

• 即時儲存：

  • 平台選取與所有開關切換後即時儲存，無需手動操作。原先的「儲存並退出」按鈕已改為單純的「退出」按鈕。

• 無邊框最大化視窗：

  • 以無邊框最大化視窗取代全螢幕 Presenter。此方式可消除轉場時可能出現的最小化/最大化/關閉按鈕。
  • 透過 DWM 覆寫 Windows 11 的預設圓角為直角，呈現乾淨的滿版畫面。

• 疑難排解頁面重新設計：

  • 疑難排解頁面現在採用與進階頁面一致的卡片式佈局。
  • 「重設 GameBar 並進入 FSE」功能已更名為「結束 Game Bar 並進入 FSE」，搭配精簡的「執行」按鈕，且在 FSE 不可用時按鈕會顯示為反灰（而非隱藏）。

• 手把導覽優化：

  • 改用 TryMoveFocusAsync 以提升所有設定頁面的 XY 焦點導覽穩定性。
  • 在進階頁面加入焦點重導機制，避免從側邊欄導覽進入時焦點直接落在退出按鈕上。
