Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector

NVIDIA Profile Inspector is a desktop utility for configuring NVIDIA GPU driver settings, built on a modernized WPF architecture. It provides capabilities for scanning, viewing, and modifying driver parameters, including support for complex data types and newer features like DLSS and G-SYNC. The application manages user profiles through import and export workflows with merge or replace strategies, and offers a customizable interface with multiple visual themes and dark mode support.

The application now includes a new NativeArrayHelper class for marshaling data between managed code and native pointers, alongside an embedded TinyIoC dependency injection container to manage object lifecycles and registrations internally.

The application now includes four new visual themes defined in the Themes directory: Clean White (a high-contrast light mode), Dark (Fluent 2 Dark), Midnight (a deep slate variant), and Slate Light (a professional slate gray tone). These themes provide distinct color palettes for backgrounds, text, and accents, allowing users to choose a visual style that suits their preference. Additionally, a Generic.xaml file was added to define shared control styles for the title bar and action bar buttons, ensuring consistent behavior and appearance across the new themes.

nvidiaProfileInspector/UI/Themes · high confidence

The application introduces a suite of new custom WPF controls in the UI layer to support a redesigned interface. These include \ActionBarButton\ and \ActionBarToggleButton\ for icon-based action bars, a \CollapsibleWrapPanel\ that allows application lists to collapse to a single line when content overflows, and a \MinThumbTrack\ to enforce a minimum 24px scrollbar thumb size. Search and selection interactions are enhanced with \SearchableComboBox\ (featuring persistent search focus and deferred selection), \SearchablePopupList\, and \SearchableTextBox\ with clear buttons. Additional controls like \TitleBar\ (with customizable window chrome), \NotificationSnackbar\, and \ChoiceCard\ provide the structural components for the updated look and feel.

The application now uses a dedicated ThemeManager service to handle appearance settings, introducing support for dark mode alongside existing light themes (SlateLight, Midnight, CleanWhite) and allowing users to switch between Modern and Compact display densities. This change centralizes the logic for loading, saving, and toggling themes, ensuring that the startup splash screen and main application windows correctly apply the user's saved preferences. Additionally, a new DialogService standardizes how input, save, and open dialogs are presented, improving consistency across the UI.

The application's UI ViewModel layer has been completely rewritten to support a modernized user experience. This change introduces a new dark mode and appearance options (light, compact, slate), a dedicated About dialog with automatic update checking and channel selection, and a new Bit Value Editor for granular control of binary settings. The settings list now supports advanced filtering (by hex ID, user-modified status), visual input validation, and a flattened, optimized display with group headers. Additionally, the profile export functionality has been improved to allow selective export of modified profiles, and the UI now features snackbar notifications for user feedback.

The settings list interface now uses a ListBox instead of a GridView to provide smoother scrolling performance when navigating large numbers of profile options. Additionally, the input fields for setting values now include real-time visual validation, preventing invalid entries from being accepted, and allow users to explicitly override inherited global profile values even if the new value matches the global default.

nvidiaProfileInspector/UI/Behaviors · high confidence

The application introduces a comprehensive visual redesign featuring a new dark theme, modernized controls, and improved layout styles. Users will see updated button, checkbox, and combobox appearances with rounded corners and distinct hover/pressed states, alongside new application chips and filter flyout styles. The interface now supports visual indicators for setting states (Nvidia, User-defined, Global) via specific icons and colors, and includes performance optimizations for scrolling and rendering.

The NVIDIA Profile Inspector application has been restructured with a new WPF-based architecture. The App.xaml and App.xaml.cs files define the application lifecycle, including single-instance mutex handling, startup splash screen management, and theme loading via a ThemeManager service. The application now requires administrator privileges as specified in app.manifest, and supports software rendering and transparency disabling via command-line arguments. The AppBootstrapper.cs initializes the dependency injection container with services for custom settings, reference settings, and driver scanning. CustomSettingNames.xml and Reference.xml provide the comprehensive list of NVIDIA driver settings with their descriptions, values, and metadata. The solution file nvidiaProfileInspector.sln defines the project structure for Visual Studio 17.

The application now includes native Windows API wrappers that enable Windows 11 Mica and Acrylic backdrops with a Windows 10 fallback, immersive dark mode support, and file drag-and-drop handling. This change also adds helpers for Windows Shell Links and Taskbar List 3 (progress, thumbnails, overlays), ensuring the UI correctly respects system backdrop settings and handles window state restoration after relaunch.

nvidiaProfileInspector/Native/WINAPI · high confidence

The application dialogs have been completely rewritten to support a dark theme and modern UI patterns. The About dialog now displays the application version and includes a channel selector for updates. Profile import and export workflows have been enhanced: importing now prompts the user to choose between 'Replace' or 'Merge' strategies, and exporting profiles features a new card-based selection interface with options to select all, none, or invert the profile list. Additionally, the Bit Value Editor has been improved with a scrollable list that tracks visible ranges, and standard input and message boxes now feature a consistent dark style with validation support.

nvidiaProfileInspector/UI/Views/Dialogs · high confidence

The application now features a completely rewritten main window interface with support for dark and light themes, including Mica and Glass visual effects on Windows 10/11. A new animated splash screen appears during startup to indicate profile loading. The UI includes improved scrolling performance via a listbox-based settings view, drag-and-drop support for .nip profile files, and enhanced keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+F for filter, Ctrl+S for apply). The window also handles DPI scaling correctly and restores maximized state on relaunch.

NVIDIA Profile Inspector now handles 64-bit (QWORD) and Binary setting values, which were previously unsupported or limited. The application includes a new caching system for scanned settings to improve performance, and allows custom settings to define fallback types when the driver does not report them. Additionally, internal driver settings are now decrypted for display, and the import/export system supports merging multiple profiles with configurable strategies.

nvidiaProfileInspector/Common · high confidence

The NVAPI layer now includes an updated set of driver settings definitions (NvApiDriverSettings) generated from the latest NVIDIA headers, adding support for newer features such as DLSS Frame Generation, DLSS Ray Reconstruction, and various G-SYNC/VRR overrides. Additionally, a mock implementation of the NVAPI driver settings wrapper has been introduced, allowing the application to run in a simulated environment (via the -mock command-line flag) for testing and development without requiring a physical NVIDIA GPU or driver installation.

nvidiaProfileInspector/Native/NVAPI · high confidence

The nvidiaProfileInspector project file has been created/updated to target .NET Framework 4.8, enabling the use of modern SDK-style project management. This change includes enabling WPF and Windows Forms support, setting the language version to C\# 9.0, and configuring standard references and resource handling for the application.

• Inconsistent namespace usage for helper/utility classes. Some helpers are placed in nvidiaProfileInspector.Common.Helper (e.g., SteamAppResolver, DlssHelper, UserSettings, XMLHelper, TempFile, EpicAppResolver), while the import/export utility is placed in nvidiaProfileInspector.Common.Import (ImportExportUitl). This suggests a lack of a unified convention for where general-purpose helper classes reside, splitting them between a generic 'Helper' namespace and their functional domain namespace.
