 ### What's new
-- A Console interface that looks like a home console: Home shows your launchers in a row at the top, over your games' art (A picks what opens, a pill-shaped Play now right below, with the screen, audio, resolution and HDR on one line), the tabs sit on the left, and the System tab is now a list of categories on the left with only that category's options on the right. Tiles without hairlines, rounder corners and less repetition: the setup summary left Home (it is in Session). (#162)

Tiles without hairlines, rounder corners and less repetition: the setup summary left Home (it is in Session). (#162)
+- Console interface: a new font, Inter (shipped with the app), with the title and Play now in bold, easier to read from the couch. On Home, moving along the launcher row already picks what opens, like on a PS5: the picked one gets a ✓ badge and a green bar, the others fade back, and A on a tile opens it right away. (#164)
 - **Custom app** mode: in Settings → When entering console mode, pick any `.exe` (RetroArch, another launcher…) with optional arguments. Console Mode sets up the TV, opens the app on the game screen and restores the desk by itself when it closes. For launchers that only start another program and exit, type the real program's process name in **Process to watch**. If it never shows up, the session stays until you end it (hold Start + Select). (#161)
 - Controller battery: the session menu header and the Console interface top bar (next to the clock) show the controller's battery level, with the charging icon when it is on the cable. Works with wireless Xbox controllers, DualSense and DualShock 4 (USB and Bluetooth); when Windows only gives a rough level, the number gets a "~". With several controllers it shows the emptiest one, and wired controllers with no battery show nothing. During a session, a notice in the corner of the TV warns when the battery reaches 15 % and again at 5 %, without repeating. (#160)
 - Diagnostics in Settings: a new card shows, read-only, the app's version and channel, Windows, the screens (resolution, HDR, which one is the game screen and which ones get hidden), the audio outputs, the connected controllers, whether Steam, Playnite, RTSS and ControlFS were found, and the end of the log. **Copy report** copies it all as text to paste into an issue, without your user name in paths and without keys. (#159)

 ### Novidades
-- Interface Console com cara de console de mesa: o Início mostra os iniciadores numa fileira no topo, sobre a arte dos seus jogos (A escolhe o que abre, Jogar agora em formato de pílula logo abaixo, com a tela, o áudio, a resolução e o HDR numa linha só), as abas ficam à esquerda e a aba Sistema virou uma lista de categorias à esquerda com só as opções daquela categoria à direita. Blocos sem borda fina, cantos mais arredondados e menos repetição: o resumo do setup saiu do Início (está na Sessão). (#162)

Blocos sem borda fina, cantos mais arredondados e menos repetição: o resumo do setup saiu do Início (está na Sessão). (#162)
+- Interface Console: fonte nova, a Inter (embutida no app), com o título e o Jogar agora em negrito, mais legível de longe na TV. No Início, andar pela fileira de iniciadores já escolhe o que abre, como no PS5: o escolhido ganha um selo ✓ e uma barra verde, os outros ficam mais apagados, e A no bloco abre direto. (#164)
 - Modo **Aplicativo personalizado**: em Ajustes → Ao entrar no modo console, escolha qualquer `.exe` (RetroArch, outro launcher…) com argumentos opcionais. O Console Mode prepara a TV, abre o app na tela de jogo e restaura a mesa sozinho quando ele fecha. Para launchers que só abrem outro programa e fecham, informe em **Processo a acompanhar** o nome do processo do programa de verdade. Se ele nunca aparecer, a sessão continua até você encerrá-la (segurar Start + Select). (#161)
 - Bateria do controle: o cabeçalho do menu da sessão e a barra de cima da interface Console (ao lado do relógio) mostram o nível da bateria do controle, com o ícone de carregando quando ele está no cabo. Funciona com controles Xbox sem fio, DualSense e DualShock 4 (por USB e Bluetooth); quando o Windows só dá um nível aproximado, o número vem com "~". Com vários controles, aparece o mais descarregado, e controles com fio sem bateria não mostram nada. Durante a sessão, um aviso no canto da TV avisa quando a bateria chega a 15 % e de novo a 5 %, sem repetir. (#160)
 - Diagnóstico em Ajustes: um card novo mostra, só para leitura, a versão e o canal do app, o Windows, as telas (resolução, HDR, qual é a de jogo e quais são ocultadas), as saídas de áudio, os controles conectados, se Steam, Playnite, RTSS e ControlFS foram encontrados e o fim do log. **Copiar relatório** copia tudo em texto para colar numa issue, sem o seu nome de usuário nos caminhos e sem chaves.

+- [ ] Fonte Inter: os textos da interface Console e do menu da sessão usam a Inter (o "a" e o "g" de dois andares mudam de cara em relação à Segoe), em negrito de verdade no título e no Jogar agora, sem aparência borrada de negrito sintético. Conferir também no **portátil**: se a fonte não carregar, o app cai na Segoe UI sem quebrar. O modo PC continua com a Segoe UI.
+- [ ] Russo: o cirílico aparece na Inter, sem misturar fontes no meio da palavra.
 - [ ] A linha embaixo do título mostra a resolução da tela de jogo e depois áudio, FPS, HDR e VRR quando ligados, separados por "·", e atualiza ao mudar cada um.
 - [ ] Sem tela de jogo escolhida, o texto pede para escolher a tela e Jogar agora fica desativado.
 - [ ] O botão redondo ao lado de Jogar agora abre a aba Sessão.
