Hello everyone!
vxiiduu (author of VxKex) has dropped another excellent update focusing on visual improvements and broader application compatibility!
This release tackles High-DPI scaling issues that have been plaguing Chromium and Qt6 applications. No more blurry text on high-resolution displays. Desktop notifications are back working in Chromium browsers, and Qt6 support has been extended to newer versions that rely on ICU libraries. Gamers will appreciate the new Unity engine support bringing Yandere Simulator (March 15, 2026 build) and Touhou Hero of Ice Fairy into the fold. Support for some Themida-protected applications has also arrived, with KakaoTalk 26.3.1.5062 confirmed working. LINE Messenger gets partial support as well.
As with all new releases, only the applications the author could personally test made it into the changelog. Improvements in a new version usually benefit a broader range of software.
