Sorry for so many small updates this week!
There were a lot of minor and quick to fix issues people brought up like only 1 desktop showing in the window selection list, a CPU usage issue, and a few other minor bugs.
To avoid the wait times of going through beta testing, I just pushed them straight to live as they were pretty important fixes! :)

This only gets a changelog as it's got several fixes in one update. Now that these issues have been ironed out, I'll continue to work on new features!

Thanks for your patience and support.
Sorry about the issues with settings files resetting! These issues weren't brought to my attention during beta testing, if you want to help avoid these issues in the future, please help test the beta branch and provide your feedback in our Discord! Thanks! <3

- Added OVR Toolkit Settings application. (This should not show as 'Not Responding' all the time!)
- OVR Toolkit's main application now launches with no UI but starts the settings app on launch.
- Added 'Kiosk Mode' option to config.json. This will block opening/closing Edit Mode for use in VR arcades.
- Added 'Headless Mode' option to config.json. This will stop OVR Toolkit automatically opening the Settings UI, closing SteamVR should close the program instead, or it can be done through Task Manager.
- Fixed an issue with the settings.json file resetting to default on startup.

- Fixed a CPU usage issue when using Vive Wands.
- Fixed being able to click 'Select window' and 'Spawn window' whilst editing hotkeys.

Needed to push this hotfix today, sorry for the CPU usage issues. :p

- Added French translations.
- Windows should no longer capture when not visible. (Should reduce CPU load, sorry I didn't see this sooner!)

- Fixed an issue with Vive Wand users having OVR Toolkit force standing play mode in seated play games.

30-11-2019
- Fixed keyboard Edit Mode bind not being settable in some situations.
- Changed default keyboard Edit Mode bind to F8 from L. (Why was it 'L' anyway? Was I crazy? :thinking:)
- Disabled periodic config file saving. (Now saves when values are changed. If something doesn't save, let me know!)
- Attempted to fix issues with Vive Wands sometimes swapping left and right hands.
- Reduced chances of UI attaching to a Vive Tracker when using Vive Wands.
- Added GPU usage to system info panel. (Only available for NVIDIA GPUs, sorry!)
- 'Performance Mode' has been renamed to 'Eco Mode' to better reflect what it does. (Though it does increase performance in games as the original name suggested!)

So this update was supposed to include Spotify integration! And I waited... And waited... But Spotify still hasn't approved the commercial license for it yet, so I can't release it yet!

Instead, it's there! It's in this build! But there's no button to access it, sorry. ;)

16-11-2019
- Added 'Use compact UI' option to Global Settings. (Shows a smaller UI when on the home page)
- Added grip-based window resizing. (Disabled by default to avoid accidental use, enable in Global Settings)
- Added locations where windows can be dropped to attach them to hands. (No more menus needed, wooo!)
- Increased delay from pressing grip to picking up a window to help avoid accidentally picking up windows.
- Windows can now only be moved when one grip is pressed to help avoid accidentally picking up windows.
- Switched places of 'Smaller' and 'Larger' buttons in Window Settings to be more natural.
- Fixed mis-translated word for 'Finnish' on the desktop UI.

Hopefully, this will help existing users enjoy the new UI more! :)

If you continue to have issues with the new UI please let me know and I'll work through them with you and see what I can do improve the experience for you!
