- Removed separate DLS+ETA labels, unified into a clearer single label
- Repositioned and resized that label slightly to avoid top of label getting cut off
- Added guards to prevent brief progress bar flashes during multi-file downloads
- Added ETA for file extraction, APK installation, and OBB copy operations by tracking elapsed time and calculating a smoothed ETA based on the rate of progress
Reworked Wireless ADB options: Manual IP address field now prefills the first 3 octets by getting the local IPv4 of the system. Automatic no longer requires USB connection to establish a connection, instead now performs a network scan to find the device and connects to it. Included multi-device selection support (untested - I only have a single device.) Nonetheless Wireless ADB still requires a one-time USB setup for the ADB 'tcpip 5555' command (I wasn't able to ever establish a connection without that in Rookie, neither here nor in 2.34). Updated ADB button label to match new logic. Updated ADB messages to provide more guidance for the user. Synced sideloading button text to correctly match the sideloading status. Added rookie application status updates, device ID, mirror and sideloading status labels in bottom left corner. Fixed ProcessNewApps regression (no longer blocks UI thread). Replaced Program.form.changeTitle calls with local changeTitle for consistency. Fixed Game Gallery application install status not updating after installation.
Introduced a cleaner AdbCommandForm for running custom ADB commands and toggling OS updates. The DonorsListView and MainForm UIs are modernized with rounded, shadowed windows, updated color schemes, and improved button and label styling. Removed legacy data bindings and redundant controls.
Implemented a custom theme with a new color scheme and extensively refined UI logic and architecture for improved modernity and consistency. Relocated and reworked numerous options (mount device, select device, share app, uninstall app, pull-to-desktop, filters, etc.), and updated all message boxes to use the new themed styling with enhanced visual polish. All message boxes now use custom themed styling with enhanced visual polish. Corrected grammatical or logical flaws across text, tooltips, and title updates throughout the application. Added smooth animations to left-side navigation / container elements. Fine-tuned sizing, positioning, and colors across numerous UI components. Enhanced GalleryView with proper favorites support including context menu integration, favorite border styling and favorite badge, as well as some bug fixes. Implemented custom modern ToggleSwitch component (iOS-like) with animations. Completely overhauled quest option and rookie option menus to utilize new toggle switches in modernized layouts. Refined sorting and installation status logic to streamline UX; rookie now also functions as an efficient installed-quest-app browser with easily accessible view/uninstall controls. Added WebView2.dll validation to ensure runtime dependencies exist. Re-implemented trailer option. GalleryView is now shown on very first launch, but rookie remembers your preferred view thereafter, so list-view users won't be bothered, while everyone still gets to see the new gallery view at least once. Gallery performance has also been validated on very-low-spec hardware and confirmed to run fine and fast there, due to numerous optimizations. Given the extensive scope of changes across this commit series for beta-2.35-yt, I believe this update represents a significant milestone warranting v3.0 designation. In my opinion these changes represent one of the most significant set of logical and visual changes and enhancements the rookie application has seen in years. Changes have been summarized in changelog.txt for update.
Overhauled UI (left side navigation bar, device information, search, background, text colors) for a cleaner and more modern-looking interface. Removed no longer used resources. Adjusted layout and visibility of certain panels and controls for a cleaner interface.
TODO:
- Finish the full UI overhaul.
- Fix MainForm Designer so it doesn't override the changes.
Removed the splash form, associated images, and all references to splash screen logic from the project. Refactored startup logic to run directly, with improved asynchronous initialization and cleanup.
Trailers are now initialized and shown next to thumbnails. Removed the 'Use Trailers instead of Thumbnails' setting and related UI/control logic. Cleaned up associated code, settings, and designer elements for a simpler, unified trailer experience. Also cleaned up list filtering logic with massively improved performance (from several seconds to now being instant on 'UP TO DATE' / 'UPDATE AVAILABLE' / 'NEWER THAN LIST' button clicks).
