  ### Floating Controls & Brush Tools * Added Independent Move Tool to select and drag individual drawn shapes around the screen. * Reorganized Brush Toolbar into a compact 2-row/3-row grid with a dedicated frosted drag handle. * Improved White 'X' (minimises toolbar, keeps drawings locked on screen) and Red 'X' (clears drawings & exits). * Tapping floating bubble while minimised directly re-opens the Brush Toolbar. ### Notification Panel & System Integration * Added Hide / Show Floating Bubble action button directly in the active recording notification panel. * Replaced generic open folder with 'Open Last Recording', launching the system chooser for ZArchiver, VLC, Gallery, etc. ### UI & Quality-of-Life * Auto-dismissed 'Swipe Here' tutorial hint on the 3rd app launch. * Fixed Output Template Box border color to dynamically match the active accent theme across all states. ### Acknowledgements & Credits Special thanks to [@Xnick417x](https://github.com/Xnick417x) for their valuable performance optimizations, MediaCodec hardware fixes, and audio buffer stability improvements merged in [#8](https://github.com/snap24/RecorderX/pull/8).
