libnikola is the interface between the Tesla overlay loader and user-made Overlays. It handles all layer creation, UI creation, drawing and input management. It's main goal is to make sure all overlays look and feel similar and don't differenciate themselves from the switch's native overlays.
Overlays do NOT show up on Screenshots. These pictures were taken using a capture card
An example for how to use libnikola can be found here: https://github.com/WerWolv/libtesla/tree/master/example To create your own Overlay, please consider creating a new repository using the official Tesla overlay template: https://github.com/WerWolv/Tesla-Template
Please Note: While it is possible to create overlays without libnikola, it's highly recommended to not do so. libnikola handles showing and hiding of overlays, button combo detection, layer creation and a lot more. Not using it will lead to an inconsistent user experience when using multiple different overlays ultimately making it worse for the end user. If something's missing, please consider opening a PR here.
