NSIS installer, D3D11VA hardware decoding, multi-display screensaver, custom titlebar, and feature parity with Mac.

Mac

Perceptual FPS clamped to [0.078125, 320] to prevent runaway playback speeds.

Full Changelog: 0.14.8...0.15.0

• Settings dialog: enlarge account status dot, shrink disk tab radios
