OVR Toolkit News

22-06-2020:

Added:
- Added virtual keyboard position saving.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed issues with overlay positions when switching between seated/standing play games. (This took >3 days< to find a solution for btw, hence not much added this week)
- Fixed an issue that would break re-centered windows in seated play games.
- Fixed an issue that would cause the Simulator Mode UI to not appear.
- Improve window reloading reliability.

15-06-2020

Added:

- Added volume page accessible from Global Settings.
- Added Italian translations.

Changes:

- Standing and seated play experiences now use the same window layout. (Seated layout will be lost, sorry!)
- Edit mode no longer closes when transitioning between standing and seated play experiences.
- Charging started sound is now at 0% volume by default. (This is to avoid issues with people using TrackStrap Plus or other additional batteries that cause repeated starting/stopping charging)

Bug fixes:

- Fixed an issue that could prompt the installer to appear multiple times after the initial installation.
- Fixed an issue that could cause duplicate Task Scheduler entries. (The installer will fix this when you verify the game files)
- Fixed an issue where the menu would appear when more than 2 controllers have been connected to SteamVR.
- Fixed uninstaller not removing some config files. (Mostly all issues should be fixed by verifying files on Steam now, woooo)
- Fixed Compact UI not showing full UI when a prompt is active. (Such as the 'Launch application' prompt)
- Removed old logic that was reset small windows to displaying the desktop. (Didn't work as intended)

01-06-2020

Added:

- Added FPS counter to performance stats. (Based on SteamVR frame times, not application performance!)
- Updated keyboard sounds. (Now has a different backspace sound!)
- Added menu navigation sounds.
- Added setting change sounds.
(And yes, a dedicated menu to change individual sound volumes is coming soon)

Changes:

- Changed 'Low battery sound' option to 'Sound'. (Now controls global audio enabled/disabled)
- Changed 'Disable sound' option to 'Disable keyboard sound' to clarify this option's use.

Bug fixes:

- Fixed an issue that would cause small parts of windows to be found instead of the larger window. (Windows that are less than 5% of the screen resolution will be ignored, let me know if this causes issues!)
- Fixed an issue that would unmaximize windows when switching to them.
- Fixed being able to click custom app launch icons through settings menus.

(Small changelog this week, taking 2 weeks break, woooo!)
