Hi all!

A recent windows update 'KB4541335' has introduced a bug with the window capture API OVR Toolkit uses, in the worse cases, this can cause severe flickering of the window and increased CPU load.

To resolve this issue until Microsoft push a fix for it, please consider removing this update, find the screen below and uninstall the highlighted option:


Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this!
I'm already trying to pester Microsoft to fix it. ːsteamfacepalmː

Added:
- Added application icon to settings application. (Finally)
- Updated Unity version to prevent a Unity bug related crash.

Changes:
- Currently active window will now stay visible and switch off eco mode whilst typing.
- Increase speed of tapping key when holding down a keyboard key.
- Increased hold time required before a key will be tapped to avoid double key presses.
- Made keyboard key hold time required for tapping independent to framerate.
- Updated application icons to 48x48. (May need to clear the contents of 'IconCache' and 'WindowIconCache' folders to get these!)
- Improved loading performance of the 'Select Window' screen.
- Improved 'time to ready' when opening OVR Toolkit. (Time till Edit Mode can be toggled)
- Renamed 'Hotkeys' to 'Shortcuts' as that makes a lot more sense.
- Made it harder to accidentally dock window. (Center of window must be close to dock point now to work!)

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed an issue that would allow showing windows with the SteamVR Dashboard open.
- Fixed Simulator Mode keybind changes not saving.
- Fixed last moved window not becoming the currently editing window.
- Fixed an issue that would cause 'fallback desktops' or out of focus windows to take a long time to load on opening Edit Mode.

02-04-2020 (Hotfix)

Changes:
- Improved window/keyboard pick up detection.

Bug Fixes:
- Added possible fix for 'Unsupported display' message when switching between fullscreen applications.

- Fixed an issue that would release buttons on switching between input blocking on UI/windows.
- Fixed a web API issue that would stop F6 refreshing active browsers and re-injecting the API correctly.
- Fixed a web API issue that would prevent 'BroadcastMessage' sending to some browser instances.
- Fixed an issue that would allow showing windows with the SteamVR Dashboard open.
