Hi friends!

Windowkill has recently become Steam Deck Verified! I've made many changes specifically to better support Steam Deck, included in this update.

Also, today marks the one year anniversary since Windowkill's launch on Steam! Along with all the changes below, I've added a silly change to the "crown" skin for the anniversary only :)

Thanks as always for the continued support. It's always a joy seeing people playing and streaming the game. <3

New Features

- This will reload custom asset files in the current tab, without needing to reload the game
Added "now playing" popup when shuffle is enabled
- Includes a toggle option to disable
Added "drag aid windows by center" option
- When enabled, this allows moving peer and drain without needing to click on the titlebar
Added new menu window to "friend"
- This allows toggling visibility, changing colors, and quitting to the title
Added a new audio visualization background type, and example background "thump"
Added challenge run icon to the in-game UI
