I not exactly sure how to replicate this?Is there a way to preserve the Wii U Menu layout (the order of the icons) for all accounts?
When I change the layout with Aroma disabled it only persists on my main account (which is the first one on the list) but not for the other accounts on the console.
EDIT: homebrew_on_menu seems to be causing the issue, when I removed this plugin the changes for all accounts persisted, but now I'm unable to launch homebrews from the Wii U Menu. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
EDIT 2: As workaround you have to manually copy the Wii U Menu save files from the MLC to the sd:/wiiu/homebrew_on_menu_plugin to keep changes to the layout in sync. (should't this be done automatically for all accounts?)
The first time you launch a account with Aroma, the save file is copied to the sd card. From now on, whenever you launch Aroma, this file will be used. When you don't launch Aroma, the one of the NAND is used. They never sync again, otherwise the placement of the .wuhb/.rpx files would be gone (thats the reason we do this save redirection in first place)
