Objective

Address #2615 which requests an option to disable hardware acceleration in the desktop application.

Code changes

Desktop

• /accounts/settings.component.html - Add checkbox to toggle hardware acceleration in application settings
• /accounts/settings.component.ts - Add enableHardwareAcceleration member boolean and text variables. Also initialize along with other members and add a save function for when checkbox is used in settings. It is initialized as true by default.
• locales/en(/en_GB/en_IN)/messages.json - Add text for the checkbox option
• main.ts - Add an async function to toggle hardware acceleration. The function must wait for the Promise from stateService for the setting on hardware acceleration. It is called as the first line in main.bootstrap().

Common

• /abstractions/state.service.ts - Add get/set enableHardwareAcceleration declarations.
• /models/domain/globalState.ts - Add enableHardwareAcceleration boolean.
• /services/stateMigration.service.ts - Add enableHardwareDeclaration string key and line to initialize the variable in globals.
• /services/state.service.ts - Define get/set enableHardwareAcceleration, similar to other functions in that file.

Hi @evelez7,

Apologies for the late review, I think this change in general is appriciated but the number of people that have issuse with hardware acceleration is far outnumbered by those it helps. Can we invert the condition, and have HW acceleration be enabled by default.

Can we invert the condition, and have HW acceleration be enabled by default.
