Ultrahand Overlay 2.0.0

on GitHub

List of changes:

1. New combo package launcher (similar to the overlay launcher).
   • Users can set any package to key combos.
   • New Quick Launch package setting (for disabling Boot Commands for the package during combo launches).
   • More button combinations have also been added to the list.
2. New command open for opening overlays (with or without launch arguments) from the package menu.
   • Called open /path/to/overlay.ovl {LAUNCH_ARGUMENT_1} {LAUNCH_ARGUMENT_2} {...}
   • Overlays can now be compiled to handle specific tasks for Ultrahand packages.
3. Buttons ZL and ZR will now skip the menu exactly one viewport's distance up or down.
   • Multiple clicks and hold will trigger rapid page skipping.
   • This should allow for quicker and easier menu navigation, as well as table scrolling.
4. New atmosphere updater functionality.
   • To use, copy / move / unzip files into place as you would expect (overwriting stratosphere and package3 in /atmosphere/).
     • Instead of being overwritten, the files will be assigned a .ultra extension.
   • After files have been moved into place, any reboot command will automatically trigger the Ultrahand Updater payload.
     • This payload is downloaded once the moment reboot is ran after installing Atmosphere as well as during software updates.
     • Users must reboot from Ultrahand Overlay itself for changes to apply.
5. libultrahand detection for overlays compiled with libultrahand.
   • Highlight colors for overlays with libultrahand functionality.
   • Recompilation of all libultrahand overlays is needed with the new Ultrahand signature added (see Makefile).
6. New command dot-clear, called dot-clear <PATH_TO_BE_CLEARED>.
   • This command will remove all metadata files that begin with ._ from any specified directory (as well as all subdirectories).
   • This is useful for users who transfer files and mods over to their SD card from macOS.
     • Side-note: These metadata files can cause issues with mods, so clearing them can be quite useful.
7. New theme color configurations and updates to the default theme as well as ultra.ini and ultra-blue.ini.
   • banner_version_text_color: Default color of the version label below the Ultrahand title.
   • overlay_text_color: Default color for overlay titles.
   • overlay_version_text_color: Default color for overlay versions.
   • ult_overlay_text_color: Default color for libultrahand compiled overlay titles.
   • ult_overlay_version_text_color: Default color for libultrahand compiled overlay versions
   • package_text_color: Default color for package titles.
   • package_version_text_color: Default color for package versions.
   • ult_package_text_color: Secondary color for package titles.
   • ult_package_version_text_color: Secondary color for package versions.
   • text_separator_color: Default color for text separator symbols.
   • selection_value_text_color: Default color for the selection value.
     • Side-note: Users may want to re-apply the default theme once for some of the changes to apply.
8. Proper input isolation so menu navigation buttons do not interfere with combos and vise versa.
9. Thread safe ini, hexing, file operations, and page swapping.
   • New libultrahand command swapTo to safely handle swapping between pages (goBack / pop + changeTo).
10. The Miscellaneous settings menu has been re-organized and now includes Theme Settings.
    • Theme settings includes options that allows you to toggle on and off various theme configurations.
