What's New
Batch Asset Downloads
- Added the ability to batch download covers, backgrounds, logos, and icons for your entire game library.
New Customization Options
Take control of Tico's look and startup experience with several new personalization settings:
- Skip the screen transition animation for an instant switch between screens.
- Customize the screen tint color, affecting both the dock and the startup animation.
- Change the tint color of inactive dock items to better match your theme.
- Customize the animated gradient border with your preferred color.
- Choose your startup screen, launching directly into either Home or Game Select
Homescreen & Backgrounds
- Added the option to use the game background as the homescreen background.
- Added per-screen homescreen backgrounds.
- Added a symbol decoration for console card home shortcuts.
- Added an optional background overlay for the homescreen — a semi-transparent white/black layer that improves the visibility of components above it.
- Added new background animations for Home and Game Select, which can be set individually per screen.
Homescreen Cards
- Added styled console and game cards to the homescreen, each with a frame and badges available at all card sizes. Styled items can be disabled individually to show the raw item as before.
- Added 1×2 and 2×1 item size options, giving you more flexibility when organizing your layout.
Interface Settings Refactor
The Interface settings have been reorganized into clearer sections:
- Animations — Skip animation, and Screen transition animation (used when the intro isn't skipped).
- Screens — Separate settings for Home (game backgrounds, background transition, theme overlay, and other previously available options) and Game Select (background transition, theme overlay, and other previously available options).
- Card Settings — Console and game card customization, now organized into sections, with a new option to extend card styling to the homescreen.
- Tint — Screen tint color, inactive dock item tint, and gradient border color.
Interface & Navigation
- Improved the Quick Menu with per-screen options and a new layout.
- Improved the Retro Achievements screen layout, with a new per-console view.
