CosmoU 0.13.1

💙 Thank you, Eduard!

Everything in CosmoU 0.13.1 comes from ideas and bug reports by Eduard in the CosmoU Discord. Thank you for testing so much and for all the great ideas – this update is yours! 🎉

✨ What's new

🏝️ Your own picture and music for each console

Settings → Appearance has two new rows: Background picture for … and Music for ….

• Switch to a console (Wii U, Switch, 3DS …), choose any picture and any music file from your computer or phone – done.
• Every console keeps its own: your Zelda picture on the Wii U, something else on the Switch, another one on the 3DS.
• The picture lies behind the glass with a soft veil, so everything stays readable – it looks best with Liquid Glass.
• Remove brings back the theme's look and music.

🎨 Theme files with a picture

A .cosmoutheme can now bring a background picture, built on Liquid Glass:

{ "name": "Great Sea", "base": "liquid-glass", "image": "sea.jpg", "music": "song.ogg" }

Share saves the theme with its picture and music. The guide: docs/THEMES.md.

⏭️ Faster pages on the 3DS and Wii home screens

• At the right edge of a row the next page comes (same row, from the left) – at the left edge the page before, like on the console. No more going through every game of a page.
• The right stick turns the pages straight away (Page Up / Page Down on a keyboard). Without pages (Switch, shelves) it jumps six games.

🎮 CosmoU for Wii U: a shop

The Wii U app (CosmoU-WiiU-0.13.0.wuhb, in the 0.13.0 release) got a Shop: RetroArch (NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBA), NooDS (DS) and other emulators, the whole Homebrew App Store catalog, the 17 other CosmoU themes with their music, and fonts – installed right on the Wii U. Games now start reliably from it, too.
