Overlays are a new type of Homebrew that opens an applet similar to the Switch's Quick Settings. We use the nx-ovlloader sysmodule to load a menu, from there we can choose from a list of utility overlay to display.
The two common overlay loaders are:
Installing an Overlay
- Download the latest release of nx-ovlloader or nx-ovlloader+ from GitHub
- Download the latest release of Tesla OR Ultrahand from GitHub
- Extract both .zip folders to the root of your SD Card
- Reboot Atmosphere
- You can now access Tesla's overlay menu by pressing
+
+
, which is its default button shortcut.
+
+ is the default button shortcut set by Ultrahand overlay.
