This is a tool that automatically creates an overlay for your Ksw-based tablet. Available to be used on Mac, Windows and Linux.
You MUST have JRE and JDK installed, link below:
JDK: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk14-downloads.html
JRE: https://www.java.com/en/download/
On the top right corner of this GitHub page, click on Clone or Download, and then click Download ZIP. Then extract that anywhere.
If you never themed before, these are called overlays. They get "overlaid" on top of your existing application and when the app calls for these resources, they take from the overlay first, then the base app.
What you have to do is to take the resources from https://github.com/KswCarProject/KswPLauncher/tree/147/resources/res link and edit those pictures.
If you're editing in a folder named drawable-hdpi-v4
, make sure that the folder in resources/res
has that folder and named correctly, with the file.
Do not put in unedited files because bloating up the overlay is not ideal.
Once you're done, follow these next steps to compile.
