Heyo, everyone!
We're back with another major update that is unlike any other updates.
With v0.97, we're adding a feature to allow customization on the visuals of Magic Borderless a bit.
This was originally intended to be Donation-only feature, but we decided to give some of it to all owners of Magic Borderless.
First, there will be two types of skins available in Workshop: Basic Skins and Premium Skins, both created by our own users that can be shared to Workshop and used by anyone.
Basic Skins give you a way to change the background of Magic Borderless and adjust a few things. Premium Skins let you control more visuals and add more custom images.
Secondly, Premium Skins can be used by anyone, but can only be customized and uploaded to Workshop by Donation DLC owners. Basic Skins can be edited or uploaded by anyone.
Lastly, we're adding a few new Donation DLCs that are cheaper than the current one available. Any one of them will unlock your ability to create, modify and upload Premium Skins to Workshop.
Our intention is not to sell more features, but open up more ways for our users to support us further and give something nice in return as a token of appreciation.
We want to make it absolutely clear here that any window management-related features for Magic Borderless will be added for free just like before. In fact, another major update is already being worked on.
Our software may increase in price as we add more features in the future, but those who already bought it will receive these feature updates for free.

Update Notes since v0.96
These were pushed as minor updates during the previous version's life cycle.
- App running animation is now turned off when Magic Borderless Main Lab window is inactive to save some significant performance. It will be then replaced by a green orb to indicate whether an app is running or not.
- Added Calming Agent, which is an another ingredient that you can add to the mix. This will help some of the older games that didn't work before. (Borderlands 1).
- Replaced app running animation with a brand new animation to avoid confusion with "loading".
- Improved borderless algorithm a bit for games that require Calming Agent.
- Window-Escape on Return Mode now restores the mouse position upon re-entering the area.
- Fixed Workshop version not getting updated in real-time.
- Fixed Guard Powder getting retroactively applied (even if they are disabled) when dealing with certain window styles.
- Fixed Ninja Mode not properly changing colors.
- Fixed a crash with excluded apps.
- Fixed excluded apps getting applied with previously configured settings.
- Fixed menu key.
