'Spooky Skeletons' minigame coming soon! (Watch out for a spooky pumpkin icon on your 'Home' page!)

Added:
- Added voice input to the keyboard. (Select your microphone in Global Settings!)
- Added web API call for 'SetDragThreshold' to improve usability of Custom Apps.

Changes:
- Updated default keyboard styling.
- Changed to a different mouse input API to improve compatibility with some applications. (Only used when 'Touchscreen Input' option is disabled!)
- Night light now disables on Custom Apps as it is unsupported right now. (Causes issues with transparency)

Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue that caused locked presets to unlock during automatic window saving.
- Saved layouts should no longer be deleted when sat in seated calibration mode for a long period of time.
- Fixed an issue that resulted in Workshop content not automatically updating.
- Fixed keyboard position not saving when attaching keyboard to devices.
- Implemented possible fix for stuck Ctrl key after releasing it with Simulator Mode in use.

Please note keyboard voice input is experimental and may be disabled at a future date depending on Google Cloud license fees!

Added:
- Added 'Reset keyboard position' button to Global Settings to reset lost keyboards.
- Added lock button to keyboard's controls, this will stop you from moving the keyboard.
- Added message that explains how to maximise the UI again when minimising. (With 'Don't show again' button!)

Changes:
- Keyboard can now be picked up from any distance so long as it is being pointed at.
- Changed Workshop manager's background image to be 'slightly' less gross. (Due an overhaul)
- 'Reset UI' button will now also maximise the main UI, reset wrist UI position, and close the keyboard if it's blocking UI from maximising.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed wrist overlay input failing when pointing at the keyboard with the other hand.
- Fixed an issue that could lead to the UI being minimized with no wrist overlay active. (Caused by keyboard re-centering!)

- Fixed title and description fields not working on Workshop manager.
- Fixed an access violation error when using UNP.
- Added a possible fix for a crash related to the desktop duplication API.

- Added new tutorial links to the Settings window outside of VR.

Changes:

- Made minor changes to improve reliability of window saving in seated play games.

Want to help test OVR Toolkit? Join the Beta Testers in Discord! (We need more testers badly, only maybe 4 people provide provide feedback before public releases, resulting in bugs being found after the public release!)

Added:
- Added support for attaching keyboard to left and right controllers. (If you experience issues with this please let me know in Discord!)
- Keyboard position will now save when attached to left or right controller.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed an issue that resulted in a picked up window attaching to the current hand. (Only happened if controllers were off when you started OVR Toolkit, they would be mis-detected as additional tracked objects it seems!)
- Fixed edit mode UI opening when toggling keyboard by wrist overlay when edit mode is off.
- Fixed incorrect window positions when using window re-centering and re-centering the view in a seated play game.
- Fixed pinned keyboard not appearing until after initially toggling edit mode.
- Save files are now 'more likely' to save. (Checks if file exists after writing to avoid Windows not flushing to disk)
- Fixed a potential saving issue if the window at ID 0 was on an additional tracked object.
- Improved window saving mechanics, windows are less likely to be lost when changing presets/reloading the application. (Let me know if you still experience issues with save files removing!)
- Fixed interaction issues with windows docked to trackers.
- Fixed an issue that could make the keyboard hard to pick up in some situations.
- Fixed an issue that prevented dragging between different overlays.

31-08-2020

Added:
- Added support for attaching overlays to additional tracked devices. (Vive Trackers, extra controllers, etc.)

Bug fixes:
- Fixed CPU usage displaying crazy numbers.
- Fixed an issue where changing presets could result in the application freezing.
- Fixed an issue that could cause windows to duplicate when changing presets/restarting the application.
- Fixed a console error when no controllers are connected. (Simulator Mode)
- Fixed a seated play saving error that would result in window reloading failing. (Reloading from pressing 'R' key)

(Why was attaching overlays to your feet such a highly wanted feature? Who and why did you want this!? If you want to expresss your love for feet-overlays, join us on Discord!)
