Eleven testers, one to go

I made some updates to the Chaos Screen Recorder and used Opus 5 to implement them. By 2:20 a.m. I had uploaded the latest version online. I still only had eleven testers opted in. I needed one more to make this work. I decided it was time to focus on the Chaos Screen Recorder.

Making settings easier to read

I wanted every settings row to have an icon, a title you can tap to get more information, and then a toggle or a drop-down menu. I also wanted the control box that appears when you start recording to have a down arrow. Tap it and you get a few features you can use without going to the settings page, such as display orientation and audio.
