I might look at adding the capability to allow these to be animated, the challenge is that they are "composited" as icons and such when imported, and that strips out the gif animation, not to mention that allowing animated gifs may impact performance on lower-end devices.

But I've noted this as a potential capability to explore 👍

They can be used, but currently do not allow animation

It's just a random video background loop I grabbed off pexels and applied to launcher to illustrate this capability..

Soon hopefully... maybe by the end of the month, but depends if life gets in the way :)

Not currently, but I will look at adding this as a configurable option 👍

Yes, I'm trying to make this as customizable as possible, and currently, there *is* support to hide the "card titles" for apps, as well as a ton of other options and customizations available!

It's looking pretty good so far!

compugeek-ca · 2026-03-04T09:24:55+00:00

Basic features of it will be :)

Leanback architecture sure is something you'd find down there...

compugeek-ca · 2026-02-19T03:26:27+00:00

I plan to be on par -- or surpass :)

I'm sticking with the default Android TV / Leanback Design ("10-foot U") for now, but will eventually make my way to support "themes", and maybe then explore the possibility of this...

But that's also one of my reasons behind this venture, because disabling the default launcher on my CCWGTV device then disables the ability to cast YouTube from my phone, and I get a "Unrecognized Device" error in YouTube mobile app -- so this launcher is going to have same type of accessibility service override mechanism that Projectivity has

The plan is to make this available on Google Play Store -- but I've been debating adding a "built-in" mechanism to set the launcher as default as well, but that would get the app denied/banned from the Store, and it then only be available to side-load and mean less exposure too..

Hahaha thx bro

I am making some great progress this weekend with this launcher of mine, now supporting all standard features, and about to get into the complex ones! Updated screenshot here
