- Touch controls for title selector and configuration screens.
- Added back touch buttons to all screens.
- Shrinked and moved entries a little to (and fixed some smdh text not correctly wrapping, i.e. FTP-3DS)
- Scrollbar is resized when toolbar is in vertical position.
- Folder change when swiping will only activate moving horizontally (previously it could be activated by diagonal movement, conflicting with scrolling)
- Bugfixes:
* Missing last folder in folder list menu
* Fixed bug when added favorites (I hope, maybe cause due to copying touch button state??)
* Fixed bug introduced with swiping code

I was gonna add a button to configure swipe sensitivity, but I think now it's pretty hard to unwillingly change folders by swiping.

Some screens of latest version:

Resized scrollbar and slightly repositioned entries:

Title launcher:
scr_10_BOTTOM.png

Ideas to improve the design are welcome, I think it's a little chaotic, but well, it works.

Title selector (the buttons are the filters)
scr_9_BOTTOM.png

Same as above for the design. Maybe adding a panel behind... but which color?
Or maybe making it so buttons have a different colored border so they are still differentiated with the same background color?

Reboot/Config screen:
scr_8_BOTTOM.png


Netloader and config screen must be accessed via physical buttons. I think it is fine like that.
I haven't removed any buttons from these screens, i.e. in config screen left toogles toolbar, X randomization, change themes with L/R...

I love your launcher and made an account just to say thank you for this amazing homebrew launcher!

I was hoping if you could you could make the UI more squareular, if possible?
The buttons having a green part would make it look awesome!
(PS. I suck at paint)

- Rearrange buttons in title selection screen
- Actually update enabled button in title selecter

I will think about the squares, I'm trying to get a transparent panel working, I don't really want to cover all background with a panel.
I like the green indicator.

- Add alpha, button border color and button state color to themes.
- Centered config screen panels, show all titles button and shortcut buttons

Hopefully bugfree, touch controls are now finished.

I've added some new theme settings, which you can see in the following screenshots:
- Alpha setting: panel entries transparency, I think it looks better with a little transparency and it is still plenty readable. 0-255, 255 is no transparency, 0 is invisible.
- Button border color: if you want buttons to have another border color, you can configure it.
- Button state color: the green rectangle you see in the screenshots, it indicates the button being selected/setting being ON.

The downside is I think original HBL theme doesn't look as good now. I may make the red/purple theme the deafault one when there's no xml files.
I haven't updated any other themes.

Homebrew entries are also see trough.

@vhaines please try with latest version.

@fiese_nase yes, that design looks good, I'll try tomorrow, I don't think current buttons fit well.

- Changed toolbar sprites, thanks fiese_nase for concept art!
- Toolbar now fades with theme alpha setting, but only for vertical position since horizontal looks weird due to overlaying with entries.

Crashing w/Themehax on O3DS 9.2 EU :/
I'm using themehax in 9.9 eur. Try deleting the config.xml and themes.xml files.

Anyone else having this problem?

It boots fine without the .xml files but it's really annoying to not have themes and folders since it's the main reason why i wanted your launcher :/

Please post your config files or send them to me via private medsage so I can find what is wrong since I can't reproduce the problem.

Really? I haven't noticed any speed issues myself.
This has happened previously and it was due to sd card fragmentation. Does gridlauncher/vanilla hbl work fine?

You could add a theme editor in homebrew menu. @suloku
