Milestone 4 Hotfix 3 (v1.0.0.20)

Themes can now have custom colors!

Here are the changes in this update:
- Added the ability to add an optional "ThemeMetadata" function to theme lua files.
This allows themes to specify custom colors for the UI, see the template theme for an example.
- Added a "Time Out" option to the "Generate" tab.
If FFmpeg commands are taking too long, this will automatically cancel generation.
- Removed the ability for the animated background to cycle colors over time.
This was previously a hidden feature but it was causing issues with the new theme colors.

Let me know if you have any issues with this update.

Milestone 4 Hotfix 1 (v1.0.0.18)

Woo! Themes are here! This update adds the ability to submit custom themes to the Steam Workshop.

Here are the changes in this update:
- The Halloween skin has been removed
- Added user customization through themes
- The Addons tab now scrolls back to the top when actions occur

This is how themes work:
- Themes are submitted to the Steam Workshop
- Subscribing to a theme and either restarting NVG or reloading addons will make it appear in the Addons tab
- Toggling a theme will fade out the current theme and fade in the new one
- Only one theme can be enabled at a time
- Creating a theme can be done within the Addon Management section of the Addons tab
- Editing the contents of a theme must be done through File Explorer, where assets can be replaced or removed
- Unmodified assets should be removed before uploading a theme to the Workshop

Let me know if you have any issues with this update.

Milestone 4 (v1.0.0.17)

It's time for a new milestone! Thank you for your continued interest in Nonsensical Video Generator!

This version of the software includes the following changes:

Additions:
- Added error catching to Discord RPC to prevent crashes.
- Added a "Video Playback Resolution" option to the Options menu.
This option allows you to change the resolution of clips in the Video Player alongside clip thumbnails in the Library.
- Added the close sound effect to the Console screen when toggling with F5 or tilde.
- Added a feature to re-seed the random number generator while clicking on the Nonsensical Video Generator logo.
Theoretically, clicking it while generating will produce more random results.
- Added a new tip of the day message referring to the re-seeding feature.
- Added the ability to render with 0 clips.
This can be used to test the rendering functionality without using materials, as long as an intro or outro is enabled.

Removals:
- Removed sound effects when editing addon settings.

Bug fixes:
- Fixed a bug where settings for addons would not be saved beyond the first option.
- Fixed a bug where the Console screen will close when clicking while tabbed out.
- Fixed a bug where URLs could not be downloaded if it contained parameters after the file name.
This change also fixes an issue where Discord attachments could not be downloaded.
- Fixed a bug where having the "Mute Music While Inactive" toggle switch in Options disabled would not make the music cycle or loop while in the background.
