Enhanced monitor initialization with parallelism in `MonitorManager.cs` for better performance. Added cancellation support to `NativeEventWaiter.cs` with `CancellationToken` and timeout handling. Introduced thread safety in `PhysicalMonitorHandleManager.cs` using locks to prevent race conditions.
Updated `PowerDisplayViewModel.cs` to include proper resource cleanup with `CancellationTokenSource` and improved memory management. Added necessary namespaces for threading and asynchronous operations. General code improvements for readability, maintainability, and reliability.
Enhanced PowerDisplay with support for applying color temperature settings.
- Added `APPLY_COLOR_TEMPERATURE_POWER_DISPLAY_EVENT` and event handling logic.
- Introduced `ApplyColorTemperatureFromSettings` in `MainViewModel` for explicit hardware updates.
- Refactored `MonitorInfo` to dynamically compute and cache color temperature presets.
- Updated `ReloadMonitorsFromSettings` to preserve object references and improve UI responsiveness.
- Simplified UI bindings and removed redundant properties like `MonitorType`.
- Improved event handling in `dllmain.cpp` for the new color temperature action.
- Enhanced logging for better debugging and traceability.
- Updated JSON serialization context to include new types for color temperature.
- Removed unused code and improved documentation for maintainability.
Removed reliance on static `MonitorType` enumeration, replacing it with dynamic `CommunicationMethod` for better flexibility. Updated `IMonitorController` and `MonitorManager` to dynamically determine monitor control capabilities.
Refactored `Monitor` model to streamline properties and improve color temperature handling. Enhanced `MonitorViewModel` with unified methods for brightness, contrast, volume, and color temperature updates, improving UI responsiveness and hardware synchronization.
Improved settings handling by adding support for hidden monitors, preserving user preferences, and separating UI configuration from hardware parameter updates. Updated the PowerDisplay Settings UI with warnings, confirmation dialogs, and better VCP capabilities formatting.
Removed legacy IPC code in favor of event-driven settings updates. Conducted general code cleanup, improving logging, error handling, and documentation for maintainability.
Transitioned color temperature handling from Kelvin-based values to VCP code `0x14` (Select Color Preset). Removed legacy Kelvin-to-VCP conversion logic and deprecated unused VCP codes. Updated `Monitor` and `MonitorViewModel` to reflect this change, making `ColorTemperature` read-only in the flyout UI and configurable via the Settings UI.
Enhanced monitor capabilities detection by relying on reported VCP codes instead of trial-and-error probing. Introduced `CapabilitiesStatus` to indicate feature availability and dynamically populated color temperature presets from VCP code `0x14`.
Streamlined the UI by replacing the color temperature slider with a ComboBox in the Settings UI. Added tooltips, warnings for unavailable capabilities, and improved logging for brightness and color temperature operations.
Removed obsolete code, simplified feature detection logic, and improved code documentation. Fixed issues with unsupported VCP values and ensured consistent ordering of color presets.
Refactored IPC communication by introducing a `NamedPipeProcessor` utility for unidirectional named pipe handling, replacing the old bidirectional implementation. Simplified application lifecycle management by removing mutex usage and relying on `AppInstance` for single-instance enforcement.
Replaced IPC-based monitor updates with file-based updates, saving monitor data to `settings.json` for the Settings UI. Added an `ActivationShortcut` property to PowerDisplay settings and updated the settings page UI to support shortcut configuration.
Simplified named pipe creation in `PowerDisplayProcessManager` by removing bidirectional pipe logic and focusing on unidirectional communication. Improved `MainWindow` initialization with an `EnsureInitializedAsync` method.
Updated localization resources and integrated PowerDisplay into the launcher menu. Removed redundant code, improved logging, and streamlined resource cleanup for better maintainability.
