Homebrew Need artist(s) for 3DS homebrew menu region free logo

It's really the best of both worlds. I too am growing fond of the bucket idea. Kudos to Fluto.
Here it is:

I can't wait to get this animated

This is definetely the best submission so far.It's simple and nice.Would be very glad to see it in the release.

 

[netnerd]

oh boy. isn't that nice and clean.

FYI no final decision has been made on the design yet. I started working on the menu saturday and really like fluto's water idea because it's nice, animated and you can do fun easter eggs and shit with it.
so to be perfectly honest, i really really want to keep the water effect thing. i also really like his logo but i'm definitely open to other possibilities, like what Arkhandar is proposing. now if we could have both the water and the clean logo/interface...

Hey, smealum. I just thought that I'd say that the water is nice and all, but it's what we had to represent Wii homebrew. There's nothing really wrong with it, but IMHO it would be better to differentiate this from the original HBC a bit. To my knowledge, it's the only launcher to really use it and it's probably best to let it stay unique and to develop something different.

I hope for a release until the next 30 days, so that I can use it in my summer hollidays!

This is just too perfect o_o how is it not the final design yet?​

First off, nice job everybody. It's good to see so much support from the community.
Here's something based on smealum's own vision for the first release.

I'm currently working on animating the squares on the top screen, but first I'd like to know what you guys think.

Clean and fucking attractive. Looks professional. This needs to be the final design.

If I'm honest I preferred the non watered version too.....its actually similar to the squares that you see on the real homescreen, but different enough that you wouldn't really think it was a rip off version of it imho I think.the original unwatery one looked nicer than the real homescreen(nit really that hard to.do )

Because the deadline hasn't been met yet and everyone deserves an equal chance. If you settle for what you think is perfect, then you might miss out on something better in the future. Who knows, maybe someone else submits something even better than this.

Pretty good but I think the "sky" (upper screen upper part) need to be more clear than water it self?​

Maybe a gradiant that make down screen background darker "the more" you scroll?​

also I would have called it "Homebrew Launcher" and not "The" cause it seem the want to conquer all? (am I the only one to feel it ?^^)​

​

also a tiny suggestion about app description ^^​

Maybe a Release/update date would help to know if that a long time we did not check for updates?​

This date format makes no sense

I've used Arkhandar theme and made a Menu Icon and a 3DS XL Look for it. Maybe the menu icon can be used, somehow.

Does the 3DS homescreen automatically round off the corners of icons, or does that need to be done manually?

yeah sorry I repairing a computer as I was posting so a bit confused
but I think you know what I wanted to say =)

Fun fact: the 3DS (and DSi) homescreen supports animated icons. It's extremely annoying lol

They are rounded automatically. The gateway menu shows the icons as squares.

No, i did'nt even roundered the icon, it was'nt important

Yeah, there's definitely some work left to be done. This prototype was pretty much done in a rush so there may be some imperfections here and there.

The "deepness" idea is interesting, but I'm uncertain on how we could potentially apply it. The more you scroll the deeper you get, but the top screen would have to move too for it to make sense. So we need to think whether we should compromise the logo and some cool wave features Fluto came up with or not. Food for thought.

As for the name, the "The" may seem a little arrogant so to speak in relation to other exploits, but I think smea's here to make the best out of this and it gives less experienced users the message that this a safe exploit for their systems. The more users the better for the homebrew dev community.

Now, you do have a point with the update/release dates. What I've been thinking is that we could develop a centralized system that automatically notifies the user that there is an update available for both the launcher and any app installed, similarly to the Homebrew Browser on Wii. This could be done fairly quickly (a couple of weeks maybe?) in later versions of the launcher and we could even host the back-end on smealum.net if he agrees to it or even 3dbrew.org if the software is to be open source.
But for now, I think your solution is pretty solid. The faster smea releases the initial version into the wild the better.

Who knows, maybe the launcher will have its own "store" in the future (everything for free of course; we don't want to get into trouble).

 

[3dslove79]

I hope that smea make a date for his exploit release, his works are very awesome*-*

 

[Warft]

I can't make a competitive design, but i would call something like 3DSSS homebrew launcher.

My two favorites:
Fluto

And
Arkhandar

Arkhandar
About deep you could just make it static, like it doesn't move with the scroll but got that gradien in background ^^
that easier for both of you
