Change log for 1.9.0:

General

• Added option to start Heroic minimized.
• Changed the main theme to shades of blue.
• Changed several UI elements like the Gamecard that now always shows the title, install, settings, and play buttons.

• Several functions were refactored to improve Heroics performance and stability.
• Running Heroic from the terminal should have even more logs now, great to debug.
