And of course I end up doing something new tonight AFTER I upload the above image!
Good news! I got the stock settings page items working.
They’re the ones featured in this promotional material on the top right two panels. (I have no idea where that Loading screen comes from - I’ve never seen it!)
Here are the details.
I was right, regarding referenced fonts not lining up.
Initially, what I tried was substituting the referenced font names with the stock font names of 0.5. The DEOT OS uses the Eurostile font a lot, whereas stock 0.5 doesn’t.
Needless to say, the launcher wouldn’t progress if any changes were made.
I didn’t want to touch the /home/cpi/launcher/sys.py/UI/skin_manager.py, since being within the launcher directory, it would get overwritten with the stock version upon updating, which would cause problems re: the launcher not loading.
But realistically, if the skin_manager.py was going to get updated/replaced with stock, chances are the /home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/10_Settings/ would also get completely overwritten, preventing the launcher freeze happening.
That and the fact that we haven’t seen a launcher update for a while. So I went ahead and modified the skin_manager.py file like this:

InitMySkinManager()I simply added more font choices, and reference names to the list, without removing anything.
This allows us to now use these customised settings menu items.
- Airplane
- Brightness
- Sound
- Storage
While I was at it, I removed LauncherGo entirely.
I removed the directory /home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/10_Settings/LauncherGo/ , and went ahead and removed /home/cpi/launchergo/
And then I commented out the entry within the settings menu like so:

i.Draw()We’re getting much closer to the DEOT settings! ALMOST. The settings pages for Airplane and Storage still causes the system to freeze. The Sound and Brightness pages however work beautifully!
Other things that were bugging me were the shapes of certain objects, such as the scroll bar, text highlighter and OSD of the volume bars. These are basically all contained in /home/cpi/launcher/sys.py.UI/ . For the most part, I just substituted the files from the DEOT stock image.
The scroller is controlled by scroller.py
I couldn’t work out the text highlighter. I tried slider.py, to no avail.
The OSD of the volume bars is controller by above_all_patch.py, however substituting it in prevents the launcher from progressing.
Anyway, that’s where I’m at. This could prove to be useful information for someone else wanting to modify the interface. I can possibly provide a script to allow people to try installing this. But really, this is just an aesthetic thing that serves no purpose, and something that could later on down the track break detrimentally. I’m going to test it A LOT!
Here’s a link to the files I replaced, along with backups of the original ones in case you want to try things out for yourself. The files with the asterisk next to them are the problematic items.
