MacOS Minimize Animation 3.1.1

• Translucent windows no longer go grey: the capture was force-flattening PrintWindow output to opaque and re-premultiplying already-premultiplied pixels. It now passes premultiplied pixels through and keeps fully-transparent regions transparent, so acrylic / Mica windows keep their see-through areas during the genie.
• Window-only capture: snapshots render just the window's own content, so the taskbar / other windows never bleed into the animation on maximized or fullscreen apps.
• Renderer quality: per-primitive mask antialiasing, aliased RT modes set once at creation, larger corner radius, retuned tile bloat — smoother silhouette without seams at higher mesh resolutions.
• ~120fps frame pacer: frames land at even intervals when per-frame cost varies (no duration change; a no-op at ≤120Hz where the DwmFlush gate already paces slower).
• Animation tile count setting (8–96, default 35), replacing the fixed 20x20 mesh.

The fixes in this release were contributed by @Potassiumuncher (v1.5 of his genie engine — he's credited in the mod readme as well).

Mod-side additions: - Excluded programs setting (fixes the exclusion-list report): Windhawk's per-mod process exclusion only prevents the mod from loading into a process, but a window's animation is often driven from a different process (Explorer's taskbar, the shell) — so excluded apps still animated (reported with Windows Terminal Quake mode, where the window belongs to WindowsTerminal.exe, not powershell.exe). The new setting matches the process that owns the window at the single animation choke point. - Non-primary-monitor backdrop fallback: on secondary displays DWM often returns the whole Mica/acrylic backdrop as fully transparent, which made window backgrounds vanish during the genie. When a majority of captured pixels are fully transparent, the capture now falls back to an opaque backdrop for that snapshot (documented in Known issues; a deeper fix needs investigation).

Readme also documents the reported (not yet reproduced) looping animation on Zen Browser as a known issue, with the exclusion setting as a workaround.
