System & Game Manager – Changelog (v0.5.9)

🛠 Architecture Refactoring & Entry Point Logic

  • Main Execution Flow: Modified Program.Main to execute asynchronous updates synchronously (GetAwaiter().GetResult()) within the UI thread, ensuring background checks complete before launching the application or console mode.
  • Environment Handling: Implemented conditional logic in startup flow; system info loading is now skipped exclusively for production builds where applicable (via AppConfig.Environment), streamlining performance on initial launch.
  • Configuration Cleanup: Removed reliance on external appsettings.json; all settings are now strictly defined via C# classes (AppConfig, GlobalConfig) with a new SmarthomeApiConfig class for smart home integration defaults.

🧪 Feature Additions & Interactivity

  • Smart Home Integration: Added logic to fetch PC details (UUID) and send them to the configured Smart Home API on startup in non-dev environments. A dedicated HTTP client (modules/Plugin/SmarthomeApi) handles this communication with error handling via ErrorHandler.
  • Contextual Menus: Introduced a three-button menu on game cards:
    • Open Directory: Launches File Explorer directly to the installed game's folder.
    • Change Image: Allows users to replace default wallpapers with custom images (.png, .jpg). Changes are persisted immediately via Game.Update().
    • Remove Game: (Temporarily disabled) Previously added logic for removing games from the database UI is currently commented out but available if needed.

🎨 Visual & UX Improvements

  • Enhanced Theming Engine: Extended the theme system with new color properties:
    • Added QuaternaryBackgroundColor (secondary actions) and SecondaryCardBackgroundColor.
    • Introduced dedicated Error background colors for alert elements.
  • Dynamic UI Components: Refactored controls to utilize dynamic hover states via helper methods (SetHoverColor) instead of hardcoded values, supporting consistent dark/light modes.
  • Game Card Optimization: Game cards now enforce fixed dimensions (300px width) with Zoom scaling for wallpapers rather than stretch distortion. Rounded corners applied globally using UIHelpers.RoundPictureBox.

🗄️ Database & Data Management

  • Generic Update Mechanism: New generic DatabaseService.UpdateRecordByName() method added, enabling dynamic updates of any record type (e.g., Game, PC) by name without hardcoding field lists during instantiation.
  • Path Centralization: Added dedicated methods (GetAppdataPath, etc.) to standardize path retrieval, ensuring the SQLite database resides safely within %APPDATA%\SystemGameManager\ rather than the installation directory.

🧹 Code Hygiene & Utilities

  • Logging Standards: Renamed verbose static logging method from ConsoleLog() to lowercase log() in helper functions for cleaner CLI output and consistency with C# naming conventions.
  • Startup Logic Simplification: Removed commented-out code blocks regarding launcher badges, streamlining the entry point (Program.cs) and reducing confusion around initialization flows.
  • Path Handling Refinement: Centralized app data path retrieval logic to ensure consistent behavior across development and production builds.
