Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT and FIX: For Disappearing VTube Floating Windows

Floating control windows (like Collect, Guide, Calculate, or Tube Measure) could disappear when there are other applications that also have stay-on-top windows present.

Now VTube regularly checks for these windows to be sure they are on top where they belong.

Check.jpg ENHANCEMENT: New Sound for "Calc Complete" Helps You Know When to Measure Next Straight

VTube has a new soft mallet sound that indicates that the centerline calculation is complete.

This new sound lets users know that the calculation is completed without having to look a the screen.

See this Youtube video that demonstrates the tube measuring user interface sounds.
