# VitaShell #

VitaShell is an alternative replacement of the PS Vita's LiveArea. It offers you a file manager, package installer, built-in FTP and much more.
This homebrew was an entry of the Revitalize PS Vita homebrew competition and won the first prize. HENkaku's molecularShell is also based on VitaShell.


### Customization ###
You can customize those files:
- **'ux0:VitaShell/theme/YOUR_THEME_NAME/colors.txt'**: All colors adjustable

- **'ux0:VitaShell/theme/YOUR_THEME_NAME/dialog.png'**: Dialog menu image (Can be any size. This image file will be stretched by VitaShell to fit the dialog box. Suggestion: Don't use motives, as it will not look good with wrong proportion).
- **'ux0:VitaShell/theme/YOUR_THEME_NAME/context.png'**: Context menu image (Can be any size. Suggestion: It will look great if you add alpha channel to your image).

**Theme setting:** VitaShell will load the theme that is set in **'ux0:VitaShell/theme/theme.txt'** (THEME_NAME = "YOUR_THEME_NAME")

**General info:** You don't need to have all these files in your custom theme, if one of them is missing, the default image file will be loaded instead.

**Wallpapers info:** Wallpapers overlay background images. You can have **ten wallpapers** which VitaShell will display at random interval. If no wallpaper is available, **BACKGROUND_COLOR** from **'colors.txt'** will be used.

**Dialog and context image:** If these files are not available, the colors **DIALOG_BG_COLOR** and **CONTEXT_MENU_COLOR** from **'colors.txt'** will be used instead.

The standard VitaShell theme is provided in **'VitaShellCustomization.rar'** and available in the **'release'** section.

### Multi-language ###
Put your language file at **'ux0:VitaShell/language/x.txt'**, **where the file must be UTF-8 encoded and 'x' is one of the language listed below:**

- japanese
- english_us
- french
- spanish
- german
- italian
- dutch
- portuguese
- russian
- korean
- chinese_t
- chinese_s
- finnish
- swedish
- danish
- norwegian
- polish
- portuguese_br
- turkish

VitaShell does automatically load the language that matches to the current system language.
If your system language is for example french, it will load from 'ux0:VitaShell/language/french.txt'.

The english language file is provided in **'VitaShellCustomization.rar'** and available in the **'release'** section.
