🖼️ Icon & Banner Updates

  • Thanks to an update to Basti's Icon Repo, Lightning Launcher will now display correct, high-res icons and banners for ALL apps from the Quest store, including app lab titles
  • Basti's repo is now correctly prioritized for more up-to-date icons & banners for many apps
  • Icons & Banners are now updated less frequently, which will drastically decrease internet usage by the launcher, and slightly decrease performance impact
  • When selecting a custom icon (or custom wallpaper), a more standard interface is now used, which optionally allows for a full file browser

🔃 Updater Rework

  • The updater has been reworked from the ground up (& could now be used in other projects)
  • This shouldn't change anything super noticeable to the end-user, but should minimize potential issues in the future

🛠️ Misc. Fixes

  • Non-Quest icons are now fetched correctly from Basti's Icon Repo, thanks to @basti564
  • Machine-translated bits of Chinese have been replaced with proper translations, thanks again to @VMatrices
  • Most panel apps now use official icons & banners
  • Fixed a few crashes that could potentially occur due to manipulation of app data
  • The window now correctly clears when background translucency is enabled in advanced settings
  • Lightning Browser will now be downloaded correctly when it updates independently of the launcher

Changed in 7.1.1

  • VR apps with missing icons will now check the repo more frequently, 2D apps will check the repo less frequently
  • Fixed a crash that could occur when installing a downloaded apk
