Changes:

- Changed font side of dividers on Select Window page to make them more obvious.

Custom Apps API:
- Added 'APIInit' event for web API, this is called when the API has finished injecting into the browser.

Bug Fixes:

- Fixed issues with picking up windows from behind.
- Fixed an issue that would cause flickering when a window was closed on the desktop whilst being capturing in VR.
- Possibly fixed a crash on toggling Edit Mode. (The full fix for this crash is still W.I.P, the crash is not within OVR Toolkit but an API it uses)

- Fixed an issue that would cause overlays to render on the incorrect hand.
