v2.7.1 - Added Welcome Screen to Player Window

New

  • Welcome Screen — Optional pre-game screen on the player window, customizable in the designer with logo, welcome text, clue icons, background styling, and custom text blocks

  • Screen tabs — Designer screen picker is now a tab bar (Welcome, Timer, Message, Victory, Fail) instead of a dropdown

  • Message preview from real clues — Message screen designer preview uses the first text clue from your game instead of placeholder copy

Improved

  • Welcome screen off by default — Player window won’t show the welcome screen until you enable it in the designer and save

  • Welcome tab label — Shows “Welcome Screen (disabled)” when the welcome screen is turned off

  • Message widget settings — Sidebar styling now matches timer, logo, and other widget panels

  • Designer preview sizing — Preview keeps the correct 16:9 aspect ratio when the window is wide and short

  • Designer navigation — Sidebar back button returns to the game console (not the dashboard) while in the designer

Fixed

  • Welcome screen background color not updating in the designer preview

  • Trash icon on welcome screen custom text blocks not removing the block

  • Message screen logo placeholder looking different from other screens

  • Smooth welcome → timer transition on the live player window (from earlier in this work)
