Homebrew Homebrew app Ever wanted to make your Switch display a white screen?

[hippy dave]

For example, I need to replace the screen protector on my Switch. I noticed when on a white loading screen between puzzles in Piczle Lines (jfc why does this game spend so long loading it's like the simplest puzzle game in the world even Unity engine loads quicker than this what's it even doing?), it makes the cracks in the old screen protector, and other dust/debris, more visible, which may aid the screen cleaning and protector replacement process.

So here's an app that displays a white screen! Source not provided, because I don't want to give away my l33t coding secrets obviously. Press + to exit. No warranty provided. GLHF.

Very nice idea!

Love the disclaimer too... Cue the black screen posts

Sweet. This might be the very first Flashlight app for the Switch.

Unbiased review: I used this app while replacing the screen protector, and it functioned exactly as described, maintaining a bright white screen that made it easy to spot any lingering dust specks etc. Never before has an app fulfilled its stated purpose so admirably, and may I say, with such panache. Are there any homebrew awards coming up? Don't sleep on this bad boy, five stars.

I did the same thing on my samsung using this when replacing the screen protector.

Simple app but does its job.

Thanks for yours, I'll be using when needed

I'll start a Kickstarter, I guess like $10,000 would probably cover the necessary development costs.
