Hello, This is the first time I'm working with floating menu configuration so I don't know if this is a known bug/unexpected behaviour or not. I'm experiencing severe performance issues with any floating menu configuration interface. The entire interface feels sluggish and unresponsive. When I interact with it—clicking buttons, typing, moving the mouse—there's a noticeable delay before the UI reacts. It's as if the application is lagging behind my inputs. Especially when focusing from any item (configuration) to another. Also while working on a floating menu config then the actually floating menu feels sluggish as well, especially the hover effects. Usually the problem gets solved temporarily by restarting BTT but if I interact again with the floating menu config then it's again slow and sluggish. Version 6.494 but also previous stable version had the same issue ---

did you maybe add some really large images to the floating menus? this cn currently severely impact the performance ---

The only non-canonic thing I did was to drag and drop an external icon for few items as they were not available in sf-icons set. They are supposed to be svg so they should be very light but that's it. I can also confirm that I previously selected a large file for the icon by mistake and it's been extremely painful to remove it! The entire ui got stuck and I had to wait several minutes to finally being able to "delete" that corrupted item ---

I think some svgs can indeed cause this because macOS renders them at very large sizes when converting them to pixel based graphics. Did you import them with the current version? ---

ah I see, no, I imported it using a previous version but the problem persists in the current version. I can try re-importing the icon but if you think png is lighter and easier I can us that. I tough svg was the better choice 🤷‍♂️ ---

Ok, I tried with PNG and it seems it solve the problem. Now they slowest item to render in the config menu are those with icons from sf-symbols So PNG is faster to render than the native apple icons! ---

the latest versions should also auto down-size svgs ---
