NewUI Preview 8
Pre-release
Pre-release
New:
- Added Keyboard Shortcuts Helper
- Added gamepad support for the Desktop+ laser pointer*
- Added drag setting to allow disabling auto-docking
- Temporarily restored overlay group setting (will be replaced in a future build)
Changed:
- Disabled key-repeat for several VR keyboard keys even when key-repeat is enabled (keys that typically wouldn't repeat on real keyboards)
- Improved display and logging of startup errors
- VR keyboards shown for UI input are automatically hidden again when no longer needed
- UI now runs at the refresh rate of the VR headset instead of the desktop one
- Rotation on the x-axis no longer distorts curved overlays
- Re-enabled the slight downwards rotation of the Overlay Bar for all SteamVR versions
Fixed:
- Fixed overlay dragging not working with the SteamVR system laser pointer when using a gamepad
- Fixed race condition on startup that prevented Desktop+ from running in rare cases
- Fixed browser content blocker enabled & max fps setting not being loaded correctly
- Fixed dashboard UI positional flicker when adjusting the primary dashboard overlay's size by pressing buttons
- Various other minor UI fixes and adjustments
Optional Components:
* Keep in mind that the "Enable Global Laser Pointer" shortcut input action has to be bound in order to use the Desktop+ laser pointer with gamepads (it's not bound by default to not unexpectedly trigger during normal use).
Gamepad support technically also applies to all SteamVR input devices that never provide a pose to the runtime.
For more details, see the Steam announcement.
This build also includes all changes of the stable builds until now (v2.7).
