Homebrew [Release] Homebrew Launcher with grid layout

[mashers]

Beta 40 is up

• Corrected the information on the folders help page
• XML titles now boot correctly when title preloading is disabled
• The tool bar icon backgrounds alpha slider no longer displays its value twice
• The help system has been improved with separate pages for about, folders, themes and ignoring titles all with a nice menu

BTW, would be possible to add a translucent background to the app's description?
Something like this:

Now:

With this feature:

Just an example, so you can read the text more easily.

@mashers Are you sure that preset title injecting as performed by @daxtsu's app is working correctly? dax's Wifi Toggle app still doesn't seem to work on beta 40. The app launches now instead of reporting that the title is not present as it did before, but its functionality doesn't seem to work. Modifying his XML to make it a manual selection works exactly as it's supposed to, but launching automatically, toggling wifi fails.

EDIT: Additionally, launching into and returning from daxtsu's Wifi Toggle (regardless of whether it's working, whether you use the toggles or not, etc.) seems to cause the launcher to run slowly--at the very least, the animated water effect becomes much slower.

@mashers I am working on a icon pack. What size can you recommend so it looks it's best!

I think 48x48.
EDIT: They need to be in SMDH format!

I think 48x48.

Thank you.

I didn't know about these types of apps. I'll download it and test, thanks.

@Red3agle Yep, 48x48 in smdh format.

This would be great!

I'm really confused by these posts about having a backdrop behind the text. How is this idea different to the "panels" which have been in this launcher since beta 36?

It is just the text not the whole thing. Also, @mashers i noticed a bug with text wrapping when the panels are on in the setting menu. N3DS Ironhhax/Themehax latest firmware. The text does not wrap with the panel. It goes far off.

I have mentioned this before. This is exactly how it should look if possible!

Ok, I've reproduced the problem. Using my launcher it launches the wifi toggle app but toggling doesn't actually work. Using @suloku's launcher it works fine. I've added to the todo list to look into this.

I noticed that the friend list, web browser and Miiverse (+ game notes and notifications) are missing. Would it possible to implement these? I think these applications are quite useful.
Anyways, thank you for your amazing work!

 

[BurningDesire]

@mashers can we get a 3 row setting for the settings page. I am using the 3 row theme for the Nintendo 3ds home menu by someone and it looks amazing every besides the settings because it is only two rows.

I don't know. If we know the title IDs then it might be possible to force them to boot.

Yeah, now that there are more items in the settings menus I'll make it match the main menu.

One more thing. Can you upload the default theme file. I lost it

@mashers ew....

Edit: don't really care for a fix. Just pointing it out

 

[SomeGamer]

Just a suggestion, there could be individual row number settings for each screen.

Maybe it's because of ctrulib?
Also, smea made some commits to HBL, haven't checked them though

3DS version: New 3DS XL
3DS region: NA
FW version: 9.9.0-26u
HB entrypoint used: Themehax

On the Tint Color, when I press default, the bars move to the default place, but the title bar and button colors stay the same as before. IF I tap the bars, then they go to the default though.

Not sure if you still need it but if you do delete the default themes files inside
gridlauncher/themes/
It should create a new one.
