Desktop Stability Update — How To Grow a Black Hole News

Draggable HUD panels, hybrid GPU stability, and desktop polish.

Thank you for the continued reports, especially around hybrid graphics and HUD layout. This update adds draggable panels, strengthens GPU startup handling on Windows, and fixes several layout and stability issues. Happy growing!

Added

Added draggable HUD panels for the Growth ladder and Disk pressure readout. Drag to move, or double-click a panel to reset its position.
Added a reset control in Advanced settings to restore all draggable HUD panels to their default placements.
Added a Mute collapse warning toggle in Audio settings to silence the disk pressure warning when a forced collapse is near.

Improved

Improved hybrid GPU support on the Windows desktop build, with stronger graphics strategy checks during startup and more reliable recovery when the wrong GPU is detected.
Improved desktop launch stability on hybrid laptops, including clearer boot feedback and smarter automatic relaunch when a different graphics strategy is needed.

Fixed

Fixed High contrast UI not applying correctly to the Growth ladder panel.
