Woops, my bad. Edited that!

Text looks really small and is difficult to read.

Rounded corners are too big.

Otherwise, nice work!

Yep, font will be changed as soon as I can get TTF fonts working (or converted to .bin format for ctrulib)

Rounded corners are too big.

This is changed in the next update (coming soon).

Otherwise, nice work!

Thanks

Hi everyone

I've just uploaded a new version of the launcher which adds the following features:

• The design update is based on the amazing concept uploaded by @link6155
  • The waves have been reinstated
  • The app icon on the top screen is original size now (and thus no longer pixellated) and is now decorated by a nice drop shadow
  • The homebrew launcher icon is back
  • The blue in the colour scheme has been changed
  • The page arrows and indicators have been redrawn and recoloured to tie in better with the colour scheme
• In addition:
  • The toolbar icons on the bottom screen have been redrawn and have a nice shadow now
  • The corner radius of the icons has been adjusted so they are not as rounded
  • The region free loader now shows the game icon only on the top screen instead of the extra one on the bottom screen

Still lots of work to do, but it's getting there

Looks good!

Any update from the one dude who was converting it to cia? Because this looks amazing, but I'd eat a living moray eel if it was bootable via the click of an icon.

Very nice update!

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Its looking very slick and nice!

But there are gray "icons" on places which is empty. On previous releases there were no gray empty "iconholders".

Otherwise: very nice work!!!

Thank you mashers, i really appreciate your work!

Currently, it can't be converted to .cia:

I tried several things but I get the same error every time:
Failed to make cxi (also tried cci): Too large section size.
Segment size = 3d114
Section size = 3e99c

I'm trying to find a workaround using the makerom API form CTRSDK, no eta as of now

Thanks for the feedback! The empty grey placeholders are deliberate (I forgot to mention them in the description of the update). Would you prefer if this was optional?

Is it related to the size of the 3dsx? The latest update is much smaller...

Correction... it CAN be converted to cia and WILL boot BUT it will crash/hang the system as soon as you try to run anything.
I (and a few others) tried it ages ago with only those results to show.

Yes, I would prefer if they were optional! (At least I dont want those gray empty boxes)

One other thing: The previous file was like 824 kB. This version is only 585 kB.. You must have stripped a lot of things..

Last thing: This version seems to be a bit slower.. But I cant say for sure becuz I have this hbl on both my N3DS and O3DS. Has anyone else noticed longer loading times when entering and exiting this version?

I came, this is neat.

Not sure about being slower, but i did notice that it takes a few seconds to exit back to the main menu from the settings window.

Also, a tip (that i just figured out) for people using this with ninjhax 1.1, go into the settings and enable the regionfree launcher as this fixes (i guess its a fix?) the issue of not being able to select the first app icon (closest to the settings button). (regionfree launcher doesn't appear with ninjhax 1.1)

works as fast as it did before to me

Ok, I'll make this optional

One other thing: The previous file was like 824 kB. This version is only 585 kB.. You must have stripped a lot of things..

Yes I did. The previous version had individual images for everything, but this version uses alpha channel mask images which are then combined with rgb colour data to make the image. That way one alpha channel mask can be used for lots of different images as long as they are the same shape.

It might be because of the water. I'll try disabling it and see what difference it makes.
