Homebrew [Release] Homebrew Launcher with grid layout

[SomeGamer]

Should the wallpaper be displayed all throughout the launcher, or only on the main/title grids?

There should be a setting for this!
BTW, at title selection, it always says select title to manage saves. Even if I don't do the selection with svdt!

Beta 28 is up guys.

I half called it.

What do you mean by all throughout the launcher?
Could be optional if it isn't a lot of work to make, if not I guess main/grids

 

[AmandaRose]

The wallpaper should be on all screens Mashers

Well, liked so much this HBL Mod, it is simple.
What about an option to have background music in the launcher?
Keep up the good work and thanks!

Beta 28 is up guys. I decided to take a break from the todo list and implement an idea I had yesterday afternoon. It turned out to be a bigger job than I had thought, but I'm really happy with the result. I have removed the old settings screen with the plain icons and turned the settings page into a grid in the same style as the main menu and title launcher. Each setting has its own icon and displays details on the top screen, along with a tick on the icon if the setting is enabled. The settings looks much more attractive now

Before I start work on wallpapers, I just need to check something. Should the wallpaper be displayed all throughout the launcher, or only on the main/title grids?

Awesome! Thanks. I think having a wallpaper on both screens will give us more options to customize. or we could choose different backgrounds for the title screen and the main launcher

Can you add in the future the posibility of add/change music in the badground?

 

[mashers]

Thanks for the feedback guys. Ok, separate wallpapers for the top and bottom screens, and they will stay there all the time no matter where you are in the launcher. By the way, sorry for not responding to all the previous suggestions. I have read all of them but haven't had time to respond individually. I will do as soon as I am able.

Yes, background music is already on the todo list.

I think all the time is better, and possibly shows help text into a front semitransparent box to contrast!

Sorry if it's already asked, but should be possible an option to set the installed system apps as the main screen instead of the 3DS folder?

Good idea! I'll add it to the list.

I sort my apps into folders to go with this launcher: https://gbatemp.net/threads/homebrew-launcher-with-sorting-and-folder-support.396793/

Any chance you could support folders?

Specifically, all my Emulators are in a folder named so.

Move them to the root and add ".hbfolder" to the end.

When switching the "Third row of icons" in setting menu.
The arrows of the "Wraparound scrolling" appear in the setting menu.

PS: add a door to the house. :3

And do you think this would be possible to use actual 3ds themes (with Body_LZ.bin and BGM.bcstm), since we know how to read/edit these files? Even if this is not your top priority, I think that could be a really great feature ^-^

@mashers i noticed a bit of a bug when using custom themes. See how the black doesn't fit around the curve fully on the second icon. It does it for every icon. Some times the icons don't fill the rounded rectangle as well - look at ftp-3ds Maybe you can add a option to make thicker rounded rectangles like in the og version. Those fit perfectly and i really like them.

Only if there are details available on how to read the file format and access the image and audio data. Also the theme colour data would need to be present, so they probably would not be compatible.

WRT the FTP-3DS icon, it's because the icon itself has corners rounded to a different radius. You would need to use a smdh with an icon that doesn't have rounded corners. The grid launcher masks the image to the correct radius, so the icons should not have rounded corners already.

The other problem you mentioned looks like it's because there are two overlapping images - the app background panel and the selection image. I'll make it so the background doesn't get drawn if the item is selected.

@UraKn0x If that is how this could be done. I'm using auto boot and replacing my home menu. Nowww. This only needs a web browser. Everything else is there but the web browser. For the system titles page
