Further Information

• A huge code clean up has went over version 1.3.0, externally it won't look like much has changed but internally the code has been made much easier to manage, especially for others that want to contribute or expand on the project! The GUI has been improved, rather drastically, now every text is clickable (turning buttons off and on), it lights up and shows tooltips as well. Everything in the Optimizer can be changed to your own liking as well.
  • make a custom folder and put any image (png/jpg) inside of it and rename it to bg.jpg/png or cbg.jpg/png. This will change the background of the optimizer
  • going into the settings tab you can also change the shadow color of the text, color of the text, theme, active colors and more :).
• The code is not verified, it costs a lot of money monthly to verify code. (Potentially causing false positive flags from windows.)
  • If you are suspicious, all the code is public and can be compiled and compared to the actual release.
    • There's even compiling scripts available in the code itself :).

Personal Notes: Taking a small Break

• A lot of work has went into this, I've been pretty much programming for the past month or two, cleaning code and changing code on the daily, adding new features, improving and reworking old features, this has taken a toll on me, I've basically abandoned youtube and other things and all my focus has shifted to this tool, it takes an immense amount of time and testing as a solo developer to get all of this working, I also spend time drawing the various UI elements as well as the artworks (one of which was hella rushed, other one I took my time on). I am currently unemployed and don't have any sort of income, which is why this is all possible. In the future possibly things are going to change, updates to the manager itself may slow down, I'm currently mostly very happy with it's functionality and stability. (Mod Updates won't slow down). For the next week or two, I'm going to be spending some time, chilling and possibly playing some baldurs gate 3 (haven't played any games either for a while and will probably push a few smaller updates, that add small things rather then those gigantic 2000+ addition updates)... Thank you for reading this note.
