Add ToolTip class (modules/ui_tooltip.py) and wire descriptive hover
tooltips onto every button, switch, slider, and dropdown in the main
window. Tooltips appear after a 500ms hover delay and are clamped to
screen bounds.
This requires no new dependencies — ToolTip uses only customtkinter.

cv2_enumerate_cameras(CAP_AVFOUNDATION) probes indices 0-99 through
OpenCV's AVFoundation backend, which intermittently segfaults (exit
code 139) when invalid device indices are probed. Replace with a
bounded cv2.VideoCapture loop (range(10)) that safely skips
unavailable indices.

Add a dedicated detection thread that runs face detection continuously
on the latest captured frame and publishes results to a shared dict.
The processing/swap thread reads cached detection results instead of
running detection inline, so it never blocks on the 15-30ms detection
cost.
Architecture change: 2 threads → 3 threads
Before: capture → [detect + swap] → display
After: capture → swap (uses cached detections) → display
↘ detect (async, writes to shared cache) ↗
Also replaces the blocking while/ROOT.update() display loop with
ROOT.after()-based scheduling, which avoids Tk event loop re-entrancy
issues and UI freezes.
Closes#1664
In Tk 9.0, Menu.index("end") returns "" instead of raising TclError
on empty menus. CustomTkinter's DropdownMenu._add_menu_commands
doesn't handle this case, causing a crash when creating CTkOptionMenu
widgets (e.g., the camera selector dropdown).
Add a monkey-patch that guards against the empty-string return value.
- adds poisson blending on the face to make a seamless blending of the face and the swapped image removing the "frame"
- adds the switch on the UI
Advance Merry Christmas everyone!
Added:
- try-finally Block: This makes sure the camera.release() is called no matter how the while loops end.
- Resource Cleanup: The finally block takes care of cleaning up resources to keep the application stable.
The following changes have been implemented:
-A "clear" button has been incorporated.
-The Source x Target Mapper window has been retained following the submission of data via the "submit" button.
