Major update and code cleanup:
- Performance: Migrated rendering engine from GDI+ to Direct2D for hardware acceleration and reduced CPU footprint.
- UI: Redesigned battery module with geometric paths, solid charging bolt, and improved percentage spacing.
- UX: Implemented smart URI protocol detection for Calendar and Clock to prevent forced Microsoft Store redirects (fallbacks to web/settings).
- Compatibility: Resolved Clang compiler warnings (-Wmissing-braces) by fixing subobject initialization.
- Logic: Refined auto-hide behavior to properly handle desktop interactions (right-clicks) and system overlays.
- Branding: Removed personal naming and non-standard labels for a cleaner, more professional codebase.
Updated mod description and version for improved app detection and migration to Direct2D.
Updated the Top Status Bar module to version 1.7.0, improving animation efficiency and decoupling detection timing. Refactored data structures and updated resource management for better performance.
Updated version to 1.7.3 and restored original design logic with improved color references.
