What's new
- Follow outside games. "Outside games" is now Off / Normal colour / Follow. With Follow, the rings follow the Steam interface just like they follow a game, and keep following without a gap when you quit. If you had Artwork selected, it becomes Follow. Following outside games keeps the capture running whenever Game Mode is up (about 7 % of one CPU core, roughly 0.2 W).
- Dark scenes. Dim scenes are lifted, so dark games show their colour more clearly. A new Dark scenes setting chooses what near-black does: Glow (a faint glow, as before) or Off (that half of the ring switches off and fades back in).
- Updates from Quick Access. Ambideck checks GitHub once a day. When a newer release is out, the panel shows Update to X.Y.Z; press Update and confirm in Decky's dialog. Decky checks the download against the release's SHA-256 and keeps your settings. Check for updates asks right away.
Fixes
- The light controller is found again if it disappears (for example after the driver reloads), with one log line instead of one per frame.
- Steadier screen capture: buffer checks, evenly spaced retries, and a timeout when the stream never starts.
- HueSync is asked to step aside again when a game starts or quits while Ambideck keeps following.
- Turning the lights off outside games now holds against HueSync, like following does.
- Backend calls no longer block Decky while Ambideck connects to the screen stream.
