Release v0.7
After a very long and brief struggle to add features suggested by you the community, the version v0.7.0
release is finally here. This release mostly consists of features requested and/or suggested by the community, with major tweaks and optimizations on the side. We are happy with the current progress and would like to publish the release with the current features that have been added to the now called, Lazap Client.
🔮 Customization & Theming
- Added more customizable colors to settings
- Fixed all static colors which would not change according to the custom colors
- Added themes instead of only the default color theme
- There are 3 different default themes currently available
- Better color consistency across the UI/UX
- On positive feedback we will expand this feature further
Special thanks to @Pohell (aka emilla) & @FadedFearSim for theme suggestions.
🎶 Music Player
Lazap is all about user ease-of-access and the feel. Therefore, we've added support to control the music played in Spotify as of now.
- Added support for Spotify (requires authentication to Spotify account)
- Cross-Platform Control, meaning the status & control updates even if playback on phone/another device
- Doesn't require spotify premium (or any premium services)
- Will expand on this feature in the future depending on users feedback
Special thanks to @Uday-007 & @FadedFearSim for the feedback in regards to this feature.
🎮 Lazap Overlay
This feature is NOT complete and should be considered as WIP
- Ever wanted to do something quick while in-game and not wanting to leave the window? That's where overlay comes in handy!
- It shows an overlay on top of a running engine (or even desktop), similar to Xbox Games Overlay
- Activates via
CTRL + SHIFT + L
combination - It is fully cross platform, but at the current stage it is very limited and has room for improvements
- Currently it is not complete and we will be looking for more use cases for it (suggestions are appreciated)
