New features:
Ability to crop window directly without setting it first in PIP mode
Ability to adjust the crop from the original window
Improvements:
Anchors will also appear for PIP windows with an additional icon that indicates their state
Added option to configure the hidden behavior when you crop a window - you can configure it not to hide the window or to hide it.
You can configure it from settings under PiP & Crop tab
Global exception handler - added more information in the error window
Added toggle to configure enabling the Crop button in toolbar
The toolbar settings now include an easy way to set up hotkeys per each button
When the user tries to choose a hotkey that is already assigned to another action, the app will ask if you wants to unassign the previous action and use that hotkey for the new action. Before that, it only said that the hotkey was unavailable.
The app will display any hotkey already used by another program in red and notify the user. Previously, it did not do this.
Bugfixes:
Fixed bug that some windows with empty titles are ignored (e.g., Discord window) (#320)
Fixed bug when enabling PiP mode on Discord shared screen window, that the content of the window in the PiP view may become black (#320)
Fixed DPI bug in the always-on-top border that sometimes the border position is wrong
DPI bugfixes for PiP and Crop
Fixed bug that when resizing the source window of the PIP view, the PIP view size and ratio were not updated to the updated size and ratio of the source window
Improved app stability by removing almost all thread-locking mechanisms and replacing them with a less drastic approach. Freezing is now a very rare case
Added recovery logic that triggers in case the app is unable to exit (frozen in exit); in the worst-case scenario - after 30 seconds the app will kill itself
Fixed bug in PIP that when you minimize the PIP window (directly from PIP mode), the window was not minimized correctly (#314)
Fixed bug that when having an anchor of a PIP view of an elevated window, the anchor shows the icon of WindowTop with the wrong title
Fixed bug with PIP crop selector and anchors that sometimes, while dragging the selected crop region, it may drag the anchor
Fixed hotkey bug for PIP that the hotkey did not work for PIP view owned by elevated window
Fixed bug in PIP + Interact mode that the mouse scroll working only after the mouse entered the PIP window a second time
Fixed PIP recovery logic when the program crashes while having PIP view to an elevated window. In such case, when you open the program again, it will able to recover that window
Code optimization that may improve performance
Fixed a few bugs in the hotkeys settings UI
Fixed bug in PiP with the mouse-hover-preview when live preview is disabled
Improve and stabilize the core logic of the window-manager system in WindowTop (make it more stable and optimized)
Improve, stabilize, and optimize part of the core logic of the anchors system. This may fix some bugs and improve behavior.
Fixed bug in Anchors that after moving the window to another screen, the anchor was still located on the previous screen
Fixed UI bug in the crop selector toolbar when the Windows theme is in light mode

[PiP - Picture-in-Picture] Added "Spotify.exe" and "Slack.exe" to the default list of applications where the mouse interaction is enabled by default when activating PIP mode (these apps work perfectly with the mode)

[Logs] Remove unused logs from the Anchors feature
