What's new since v0.2.0-beta
- Aerial wallpapers. The background now streams a shuffled queue of about 290 aerial videos (Apple, Amazon and community). If they can't play it falls back to the built-in video loop, and then to the rotating images. Dead links are skipped, stalled streams are skipped, and playback pauses while another app is in front.
- Icon-based edit mode. Press Edit in the drawer, then hover an app to get its controls: a pin / slashed pin to pin or unpin it on the bar, and an open / crossed-out eye to show or hide it.
- Reorder by hovering only. Rest the pointer on the reorder icon for a little under a second (it fills pink) to pick an app up. Move the pointer over other apps and it takes their place, following you. Rest on it to drop. The order is saved.
- No more reloading. Changing the order, pins or hidden apps no longer reloads every icon or jumps the drawer back to the top.
- Bolder font. Plus Jakarta Sans Bold replaces the Light cut, with a soft shadow on the clock and bar labels so they stay readable over video.
- Bottom bar aligned with the app drawer's columns.
Notes
- Streaming uses roughly 6 Mbps (about 2.7 GB per hour) while the launcher is on screen.
- Video is processed by the TV's picture engine and can look grainy in some picture modes. Use Game (or Filmmaker) picture mode, or turn off noise reduction / Super Resolution.
- This is a beta. Please report anything odd.
- Building from source: run
./scripts/make-wallpaper-video.sh(needs ffmpeg) for the offline video fallback, and see the README for refreshing the aerial list.
