Changelog
v4.8.1
This release add additional compatibility fixes to support old themes on 20.0 and newer firmware.
In particular:
- Themes with old animations should no longer crash the home menu when installed
- The settings section has new options to force the compatibility mode when installing themes, this should help with certain themes that only have a wallpaper designed around the placement of icons of a specific version of the home menu.
A lot of the 20.0 compatibility quirks still apply, you can read more in the post for the previous release: https://github.com/exelix11/SwitchThemeInjector/releases/tag/v4.8
4.8
This release of the theme tools brings support for the new 20.0 firmware as well as support for replacing the icons of all the new applet icons.
Compatibility with 20.0
Since the new firmware changes some aspects of the home menu layout the installer will try to fix old themes automatically. With the feedback of a few people who tested the beta builds and my testing of the most popular layouts on themezer i can say most themes should work fine with only minor UI differences.
We know of one specific layout that is currently broken on 20.0 and i expect a few more will pop up along the way, in those cases the layout author will have to manually fix it and provide a 20.0 compatible version.
Making 20.0 layouts
If you're making layouts and want to make sure they work on all fimware versions you should be careful to not move the applet icons around otherwise they will leave empty spots when the layout is installed on an older firmware, you can read more on the wiki.
If you made a 20.0 theme before this release you should diff your layout again with latest layout editor otherwise it might not show properly due to the auto fix mistaking it for an old layout.
Finally, i'd like to thank @new-waifu, @ELY3M and @Migushthe2nd and the others on discord for the help in getting this release done and tested.
