hello everyone just wanted to share new IconSwap v5.0.0 this version has been completely redone with a better ui and experience. does the same as before just looks nicer lol. heavily inspired by icongrabber so it looks similar. i did this because i wanted a preview box and it wasnt gonna happen using just libnx. so here we are shows icons from game list changed or not . still creates 256x256 and 171x174. now adds preview box for crop and squeeze and a search bar. if your interested you can find it here:

hello everyone just wanted to share an update on iconswap. uploaded version 5.0.1. i didnt know that when iconswap when used all temp icons from home menu were dumped in to atmosphere/contents/ making a clutter of icons. iconswap should have removed temp icons from exit. now version 5.0.1 creates a temp folder for icons and when exiting iconswap will delete temp folder. we need the temp icons for iconswap to show your icons in the listed games. the temp icons take up a lot space. anyways thanks for all the support on iconswap. if your interested in updating you can find it here https://github.com/eradicatinglove/IconSwap/releases/tag/v5.0.1 take care!

Is there any way to do this on the new firmware and newest version of ulaunch? I've been tinkering with the json entries for my menu items following the documentation, but I just get atmosphere crashes when I do. I did noticed there are 2 places where the menu sort order is stored, is there a specific one I should be editing? The documentation didn't really cover this.

Missing the older custom ulaunch version you had rn :cry:

Here are some SNES icons I made for myself. I will probably make more at some point, but I'm no longer 100% sure this is the way I want to go with my retro game icons...
