This is an update for the beta branch of Desktop+.
New:
- Added Performance Monitor "Minimal" style
Sometimes less is less and just what you want.
This style allows for a one-line set of performance metrics and might be preferred when attached somewhere to your view in seated games instead of the typical use of docking the Performance Monitor to your tracked controller. - Added setting to hide Performance Monitor window decorations & background
- Added setting to show an outline around Performance Monitor text
- Added QWERTY (Japanese JIS-set) community keyboard layout by Shimotuki Rieru
This layout is designed to be used on a Japanese system with an active IME. Please note that IME support in Desktop+ is limited to desktop/window overlays. - Added more "Alternative Cursor Rendering" fallbacks
It now falls back to using the default cursor image or just a built-in alternative if other means to retrieve the current cursor fail. - Added default input bindings for Steam Frame controllers
Changed:
- Revamped Performance Monitor settings item list to be less verbose
Fixed:
- Fixed showing windows with WS_EX_NOACTIVATE style in the window list (they're not capturable)
- Fixed Performance Monitor not reverting left controller battery level to N/A after turning the controller off
- Fixed not using the first adapter for VR GPU override when there's multiple with the same device ID
- Various other minor UI fixes and adjustments
Removed:
- Removed "Disable GPU Performance Counters" Performance Monitor setting from the UI
This setting was originally introduced to combat a regression in GPU drivers from 2020/2021, so it's not really relevant anymore.
It does remain as a hidden setting in case the issue resurfaces later.
Steam Release Anniversary
It's been 5 years since the first Steam release of Desktop+. While it wasn't the first version (that released 2019), it can't be denied that putting the application on here greatly expanded the reach of it.
While I did previously talk about development slowing down and PCVR having become a bit stale, things might be getting more interesting again now.
In any case, I have no plans to stop supporting the app to at least make sure it keeps working (but probably a bit more too).
I just hope you find it useful to you in some way. That's all.
