🚀 Overview

MenuForge v1.2.0 is a professional-grade TUI utility designed to provide a high-performance bridge between manually installed software and the modern Linux desktop environment.

By leveraging modular Bash architecture and a deep hardware-interrogation engine, MenuForge automates the creation of optimized .desktop entries. It handles everything from native distribution theming to surgical performance hooks like GameMode and resolution virtualization, ensuring your software is indexed, optimized, and visually integrated.

✨ v1.2.0 Core Features

💎 Modular Architecture

• Core Library (menuforge-lib.sh): A centralized logic engine providing unified hardware (PCI/NVIDIA) and OS intelligence across the entire suite.
• Hybrid Theme Engine: Automatically synchronizes TUI colors with user overrides, KDE Plasma accent colors, or native OS branding (Arch Blue, Mint Green, etc.).
• CLI Argument Orchestrator: Full support for non-interactive flags, including a system integrity audit command (--doctor).

🛠️ Professional Management

• Safe Add/Remove: Dedicated interface to manage user-created shortcuts without touching system files.
• Isolated Metadata: Uses custom X-Created-By=MenuForge tags for clean, non-destructive auditing.
• Universal Installer: Native deployment logic for Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, Fedora, and OpenSUSE with automated repo configuration.

🎮 Gaming Optimizations

• Hardware Intelligence: Surgical NVIDIA detection to enable high-performance prime-run offloading hooks.
• Resolution Layering: 1-click integration for gamescope resolution virtualization (Native, 720p, etc.).
• Performance Hooks: Integrated support for gamemoderun and mangohud telemetry.
