UniGetUI, formerly called WingetUI, received a major performance boost with its previous update thanks to multiple enhancements geared towards that.
Today, with the latest version, the application has gotten even more snappy thanks to a new decluttered settings page UI. The previous versions would stack the various settings on top of one another all one page. Inside these, the various sub-settings could be accessed via drop-down menus.
Now, that has changed as clicking on each of the individual settings options leads to a separate page, and although anecdotal, it did feel snappier.
