SoundSlate 3.1.3 Submitted for Review: added "Hide Button Face Controls" switch

Hi Everyone,
We just submitted a minor feature update to address a concern from customers with special needs users that weren't responding well to the new button face controls. A large group of customers use SoundSlate for children and adults with various degrees of autism, and adding the new button face controls in version 3 disrupted their ease of interaction with the sound board buttons. So we added a "Hide Button Face Controls" switch so the controls are not shown during playback if desired. Other customers may find this useful as well.

Just use the "Settings" popover to set the switch to "On" and you will not see the volume slider or countdown area on the buttons at all. (The only thing we needed to keep was the "Stop other sounds" red dot indicator which is very small but essential.)

Thanks again to the customers bringing this to our attention. And Happy Holidays from everyone at Spinthought!
