28-02-2020 (UI Overhaul 2: Electric Boogaloo)

>> You can disable all the new window movement stuff in Global Settings! pls no angerey thanks. :D <<

Main features:
- Completely re-designed most of the main UI. (Some sections still missing such as compact UI and Simulator Mode!)
- Added a new method for launching OVR Toolkit that should only require a UAC prompt once when installing.
- Added support for curved overlays. (Auto-curve is on by default. Disable in Global Settings)
- Added window re-centering option. This will make windows re-center when you open Edit Mode, Oculus Dash style.
- Added basic window angle snapping, configurable in Global Settings.
- Added touchpad/joystick resizing. (Left/right on the touchpad/joystick will resize when holding a window)
- Added look at HMD window movement option. (Turn off in Global Settings)
- Improved CPU usage. (Literally 4x less CPU usage!)
- Improved GPU usage.
- Added changelog viewer in VR.
- Added basic media controls. (Currently only uses Spotify to get this info!)

Added:
>> Misc:
- Added 'Customise background' option to desktop UI of OVR Toolkit. (Custom wallpaper and logo!)
- Added support for showing left/right controllers on battery info.
- Added icons to the 'Select window' tab.
- Added basic UI accents.
- Added basic support for custom apps, though there's no way for you to access this yet! Soon™️
- Added window fade in animation when spawning new windows.

>> Simulator Mode:
- Added support for holding window resize up/down buttons when in Simulator Mode.

Changes:
- Made Discord join button bigger so it's hopefully more obvious you can click it.
- Added auto application restarter for when desktop capture API crashes. (Temporary workaround obviously)
Bug fixes:
>> Misc:
- Fixed 'admin-check' file not working as intended.
- Fixed memory leak.
- Fixed tutorial skipping when closing the program before tutorial was completed. (Note: Tutorial will re-appear for existing users, just skip it!)
- Fixed an issue with the tutorial not appearing with Compact UI enabled.
- Improved upon fix for Vive controller swapping issues. Overlays should now track the correct hands on opening Edit Mode.
- Improved performance and reliability of capturing hotkey icons.
- Fixed an issue with window movement smoothing when a window is docked/attached to a hand.
- Corrected animation/mouse smoothing speeds for lower refresh rate headsets. (Oops)
- Reduced performance impact of showing 'System Info', apparently getting GPU info is REALLY intensive. (#ThanksNvidia)
- Fixed a bug that would cause window captures to eat CPU usage for breakfast after re-launching until you changed their capture rate.
- Fixed 'Auto performance adjustments' setting that previously did nothing. (Give it a try before you turn it off!)
- Fixed hotkey-spawned windows appearing at incorrect position when the UI isn't in the default position.
- Fixed OVR Toolkit spamming the log file when SteamVR is shutting down, should now cleanly exit.

>> Simulator Mode:
- Fixed Simulator Mode setting every window you look at to the currently editing window. (How did no one report this!? :o)
- Fixed Simulator Mode 'Move mode' not editing other windows when you select them.
- Fixed Simulator Mode resize buttons 'sticking', causing super fast resizing by accident.
- Fixed Simulator Mode crosshair getting stuck on windows when switching to controller mode.
- Fixed Simulator Mode curved window input issues.
- Fixed Simulator Mode UI scrolling not working.
- Fixed minimize UI button appearing in Simulator Mode.
- Fixed Controls menu not showing in Simulator Mode if the standing UI was already open.
