This release brings a number of new features and fixes:
- JPG and PNG images can now be directly installed as themes, without the need to create nxtheme files.
- Currently wallpapers are installed as plain images with the system default layout.
- We have a new experimental sysmodule to detect home menu updates and automatically uninstall themes when they are not compatbile
- You can enable or disable it from the settings page of the theme installer
- This sysmodule only runs on boot and removes themes when the firmware version changes, this should fix crashes when switching between sysmmc/emummc or updating firmware
- The sysmodule uses very little memory and automatically terminates after boot, freeing memory for other sysmodules
- Title ID is
00FF007468656D65, please give it a try and report any issues.
- Home menu extraction happens on the fly and does not write to the sd card anymore
- This solves a number of crashes on boot caused by users skipping the extraction process after an update and accidentally installing an incompatible version
- Installing themes just works regardless of sysmmc or emummc
- You can still export the raw szs files needed for making custom layouts from the home menu extraction page
- Home menu patches are applied when installing from external sources
- This solves crashes on boot when installing a theme from themezer-nx right after updating the console
- Various improvements on error handling, hopefully we should see overall less crashes of the application especially in applet mode.
This release only updates the theme installer, the PC theme injector was not changed.
In fact, support for the PC injector is being dropped, starting with the next version it will replaced with a web-based theme creator powered by themezer, stay tuned.
