Add 240Hz Frame Rate Option in Big Box

📋 Summary

Expand Big Box’s frame rate settings to include a 240Hz option, allowing users with high-refresh-rate displays to take full advantage of their hardware for smoother navigation and animations.


🎯 Feature Overview

  • Add 240Hz to the list of available frame rate options under:

    Big Box > Options > Visuals > Frame Rate Limit

  • Ensure transitions, wheel animations, and video playback remain synced and stable at higher refresh rates.

  • Optionally detect and highlight when a connected display supports 240Hz to avoid confusion.


🛠 Example Use Case

  • A user with a 240Hz gaming monitor runs Big Box on a high-end PC.

  • Currently, the maximum selectable frame rate is 200Hz, preventing full use of their display’s capabilities.

  • Enabling a 240Hz setting provides smoother scrolling, transitions, and input responsiveness.


📦 Benefits

  • Improved smoothness for users with high-refresh displays.

  • Enhanced responsiveness in UI animations and controller input.

  • Future-proofing for modern hardware and display standards.


💡 Notes

As more gaming monitors and handheld devices adopt 240Hz (and beyond), adding support helps Big Box stay optimized for current and upcoming hardware.
