PlayStatus v5.0.0 - A Fresh Start
2025-03-08Introducing PlayStatus v5.0.0 In this latest update, things will look familiar, but feel much better. The backend has been moved from a OpenGL rendering implementation to a WebView renderer, leading to smoother animations, way less UI bugs, and better performance. Along with this, a customizable on-screen crosshair option has been added, for games that either don't have crosshairs, or hide them. General Features & Changes • New UI renderer, all menus have been converted. • Reduced overall memory usage of the application. • Added a light/dark mode (based off of system settings). Crosshair Overlay A new crosshair overlay has been added! You can now customize and show a crosshair on-screen for games that either do not have one, or hide it. You can customize things like crosshair type (+ or circle), outline width/color, etc.! Music Player Updates & Improvements
