A cleaner sky and smaller menus
Consistent themes, compact widgets and our own world-sharing transport.
Launcher
- The animated violet sky is the default on a fresh installation. Clouds move smoothly and Background settings opens directly from Home.
- The old Violet sky / Local time badge is replaced by one settings icon. Existing background preferences are preserved.
Client
- Classic uses light panels, fields and readable dark text throughout; Dark keeps its matching dark surfaces. Client menus are compact again at GUI Scale 3.
- Violet sky and Astral Voyage are the defaults on a new profile. Background settings offers scenery and local-time, day or night modes.
- The title screen has the same account menu and Mini games buttons as Multiplayer. The background rope is hidden with Violet sky.
- Host world is smaller, with friend heads, icon actions and animated opening and closing. The world remains on the host PC.
- A new independent Pixonix WSS/TCP tunnel replaces e4mc and its dependencies. Internet sharing requires the Pixonix relay service to be active.
- Direction HUD has a slimmer compass. Spotify shows cover art on the right and compact controls on the left; controls and progress appear in chat by default.
- Spotify controls and progress can each be set to Chat, Always or Never. Windows cover-art loading and text contrast are corrected.
- Social Wheel uses animated radial actions and a player head that follows the pointer. Ring geometry is cached to avoid recalculating it every frame.
