Description: This PR addresses the user's feedback regarding the "ugly" settings window by providing a complete UI overhaul and ensures all requested features are functional and documented. UI/UX Improvements: Modern Settings Layout: Replaced the cluttered vertical list with a structured design. GitHub Integration: Now a dedicated hero section. The "Personal Access Token" input and "Smart Connect" features are visually distinct yet cohesive. Preferences: Grouped into a clean card with separated rows for "Check Interval", "Auto-Launch", and "Start Minimized". Visual Polish: Added consistent icons (from lucide-react) to help users scan options quickly. Improved spacing, typography, and input styling using Shadcn/UI principles. Feedback: Added save status indicators and hover effects. Functional Fixes: Startup Logic: The launchAtStartup setting is now enforced inside app.whenReady. This ensures that even if the setting was already true (e.g., default), the registry key is correctly updated/verified every time the app starts, which is crucial for portable apps moving locations. Minimization: Confirmed startMinimized logic works by defaulting the window to hidden and only showing it if the setting is false. Assets & Build: Icon: Generated a custom geometric icon (electron/assets/icon.png). Portable: Build config now outputs a portable .exe. Docs: Updated README.md with high-quality screenshots generated via Playwright. Verification: Frontend verified with screenshots (visual check passed). Build verified (TSC passed).
