2026-05-07 18:05:14 +00:00 | 34 commits to main since this releaseHellion Chat 1.4.1 — Theme Engine Performance
Second sub-patch of the v1.4.x Polish Sweep series. Heap
pressure from the theme engine's per-frame render path
removed, plus a tenth built-in theme and hardening for
the custom-theme hot-reload.- Theme records carry a pre-computed ABGR-packed cache
for every color slot; cache is filled when the theme
is registered and refreshed defensively on every
Switch() - HellionStyle.PushGlobal reads ABGR values from the
cache instead of calling ColourUtil.RgbaToAbgr per
slot per frame; ~13 % render-time recovery measured
in typical scenes (plan estimate was 2–6 %, real
~10–15 %) - ThemeRegistry custom-theme reload distinguishes a
recoverable file lock (editor mid-save) from a
permanent IO failure; locked themes keep their
last-known-good snapshot and retry on the next
lookup instead of dropping out of the picker - New built-in: Synthwave Sunset — Hot Magenta + Cyan
on midnight violet, 80s neon-grid vibes; tenth theme
in the picker - Author credits refreshed: brand themes are credited
as "Hellion Forge"; Mint Grove and Forge Merchantman
now credited to Carla Beleandis as a community thanks
No schema bump, no user-visible behaviour change other
than smoother frames on GC-sensitive setups and one
additional colour option.Modding & support: join Hellion Forge — https://discord.gg/X9V7Kcv5gR
