Console Mode 1.6.2

What's new

• Guided tour of the session menu: the first time the menu opens, it offers an optional tour that highlights each option and explains what it does, including the difference between Back to the PC (restores the desk and the app stays in the tray) and Exit Console Mode (restores and closes the app). To see it again, press Y (△) or F1 in the menu, or use Settings → Session menu tour. (#144)
• Revamped FPS counter: the numbers sit on a dark rounded card (it can be turned off) in three sizes, Small, Medium and Large. You can pick the screen corner it shows in (or keep RTSS's position) and tune it all from the session menu itself: A on "FPS counter" opens the list with style, size, position, background, color and, in Custom, the items. New styles: FPS only, Compact (FPS plus CPU, GPU and RAM usage on one line) and Detailed (FPS, frame time and API, plus CPU clock, GPU clock and temperature, VRAM and RAM). In Custom, the PC items can be picked one by one too. The data comes from Windows and the graphics driver, nothing to install; anyone already on "Compact" keeps seeing just the FPS. (#146)
• The mouse pointer stays out of the way: the session menu's "Hide the mouse pointer" row hides it (handy for emulators that leave it in the middle of the TV) until you turn it off or go back to the PC; nothing happens by itself. …

What's new

• Redesigned Console interface, made to feel like a console: a top bar with three tabs (Home, Session and System) you switch with LB/RB (L1/R1 on PlayStation), screen tiles that show what will happen to each monitor, quick settings with icons and a focus that grows as you move over it. Home brings the Play now banner and a summary of the current setup (game screen, audio, launcher and HDR/VRR). (#117)
• Session menu redesigned like Steam's overlay (Shift + Tab): it covers the whole screen, the game dims and blurs behind it, a side panel gathers the options (volume with a gauge, resolution, audio, FPS, HDR) and the open windows sit in the middle, an in-menu Alt + Tab: the D-pad picks, A brings the window to the front, X closes it (after a confirmation) and B goes back to the game. The cards show each program's icon. Outside a session it opens as a preview. (#120, #127, #133, #135)
• File explorer in the session menu: the "File explorer (ControlFS)" row opens ControlFS, the team's open-source, controller-first file manager, full screen on the session screen. If it isn't installed, A downloads and installs it right there, with the installer checked (SHA-256) before it runs. (#122, #136, #137)
• FPS counter over the game, through RivaTuner (RTSS): pick it in Settings or cycle it with A on the "FPS counter" row of the session menu. …
