A circular version of the VU meters. Comes with 2 circles that can be configured seperately. Releasing this one into the wild to get some initial feedback, but still have a few features to implement.

[h1][b]Beware of CPU usage. This one can be pretty heavy if you go all out[/b][/h1]

[h1]Options[/h1]
[list]
[*] Show 1 or 2 circles
[*] Background Image/Slideshow
[*] Extensive coloring options for both
[*] Change rotation & rotation speed
[*] Change position
[*] .... and more
[/list]

[h1]Gradient Tips[/h1]
[list]
[*]The gradient will ( read should ) continu its color rotation if values are perfect opposites ( aka 180deg difference in hue ). Thats why Red/Cyan/Red results in a full rainbow instead of going a mirrorer color gradient. There was a bug with this due to floating point maths, but think I fixed that.
[*]When using more than 3 colors as well as the extra gradient, and If you are confronted with hard edge between one half and the other, try adjusting the value a little, either slightly different colors or if using black/white/grays try adding a little color into the value. It can make a big difference.

[h1]Bugs[/h1]
[list]
[*]Gradient doesn't always work as intended
[*]Lower bar counts can result in lower values due to averaging, resulting in unused "height"
[/list]

[h1]Updates[/h1]
[list]
[*]Added responsiveness option
[*]Added back in smoothing option
[*]Added in cpu usage estimation.
[*]Removed an unwanted calculation that should improve visuals.
[*]Tweaked the audio processing to feel a bit more responsive in general ( related to the averaging problem )
[*]Limited framerate to audio data updates as there are currently no visuals that would benefit from 60fps. Running at 60fps can still make a small difference tho.
[*]Added in optional fps overlay to show fps & cpu estimates.
[*]Fixed a mistake resulting it not showing stereo data but only the left channel.
[/list]
[list]
[*]Realized rotation animation could benefit from 60fps, so fps gets unlocked when those are used now.
[/list]
[list]
[*]Kinda fixed 2 gradient bugs .. I think I will leave it as it is as I think it allows most gradients to be made , even if it has its quirks.
[*]Added opacity option for each color option ..
[*]Tweaked initial settings a little
[*]Full area is drawn for a short period of time while altering colors/opacity.
[/list]
[list]
[*]Added an opacity option for the full circle ( called layer opacity )
[*]Added blending & blur options per circle. Blending is mostly interesting when using a background image.
[/list]
[list]
[*]Fixed some bugs in the slideshow code
[*]Added options to enable/disable individual slideshow transitions
