v0.6.5 Taps & SFX Update (12/24/2024)

Update Summary:
This update adds quality-of-life features and improvements such as sound effects to give the user feedback for certain actions, as well as improvements to the controller tap system to mitigate accidental handheld toggling.

Desktop Player:
-Updated app icon with "new" logo design (may require system restart to appear properly)

Handheld Toggle Settings:
-Changed the way controllers taps are registered. Controllers now have an "Enter Sphere" and an "Exit Sphere". The start of a tap is registered when in the "Enter Sphere" of each controller intersect. The tap finishes when the sphere of one controller exits the "Exit Sphere" of the other controller. This was done to mitigate accidental handheld toggling.
-Added "Toggle Handheld on Tap Exit" option, which toggles the handheld when the controllers exit each other's tap spheres, rather than when entering. Enabling this may reduce accidental handheld toggles.
-"Multi Tap Timer" has been replaced with "Tap Timeout" which is measured in real seconds rather than fixed updates
-"Tap Collider Size" is now "Enter Sphere Size" and is now measured in centimeters rather than meters
-"Exit Sphere Size" added, and is the percent of the "Enter Sphere Size" that is added to make the "Exit Sphere"
-Cleaned up the format of the UI elements, making the sliders bigger and adding "-" and "+" buttons for easier adjustments

Sound Effects:
-Added sound effects for loading the application, tapping the controllers, controller tap timeout, enabling and disabling the handheld

-Added Sound settings tab to the General settings, with options to toggle sound effects, control master volume and adjust the volume of individual sound effects
