The ManageXR Home Screen is a customizable app launcher for your end-users. It enables you to streamline the user experience and lock a device to your approved applications.

There are multiple ways you can organize and customize your Home Screen content. All Home Screen features can be found by navigating to the configuration of your choice and selecting Device Experience.

The VR Content tab allows you to view all the deployed content for an individual configuration. You can also hide content and perform content overrides from this tab. When you hide content, it will remain installed on your device but hidden from the Home Screen.

Let's look at each setting option from the ManageXR Home Screen menu and its function within the ManageXR Home Screen menu toolbar.

The Home Screen menu settings can be customized by:

From here, you can toggle off/on desired toolbar settings, enable/disable the Shortcut Menu, set your display language, and edit your admin pin.

The Shortcut Menu provides users quick access to give end-users quick access to key settings. The Shortcut Menu is available for the ManageXR Home Screen, as well as Kiosk App mode, and can be enabled and disabled for each configuration. To do so, you’ll need to navigate to Configurations > Device Experience > Menu Settings > Enable Shortcut Menu?

The ManageXR web console offers the ability to customize the layout of your Home Screen in several ways. To make the Home Screen of your dreams, you’ll have to navigate to Configurations > Device Experience > Layout.

After adding content to your VR content library, you can group your deployed content by categories.

These assigned categories appear in the Home Screen and provide a method for organizing your content in accordance with your selected groupings.

The top panel of your Home Screen displays the categories of the deployed content in your configuration.

If you’re not utilizing categories to organize your apps, the top panel will display: Library.

Cards in your Home Screen display content thumbnails, types, and titles. Based on your preferred layout, you can toggle the content type and title on and off, as well as the text alignment of these details.

Along with the type and title of the content card, you can alter the actual card's appearance. The default appearance of cards includes padding around the content thumbnail, but there is an option to remove this padding and make the cards transparent, as well.

You can also choose the number of cards displayed in a single row, along with how they're aligned. The customization options range from a minimum of 1 card per row to 5 cards per row.

You can tailor the look and feel of your Home Screen by applying your own branding, background, and color scheme. In the ManageXR web console, you’re able to choose from several preset backgrounds and color schemes. Alternatively, you can upload your own backgrounds and logos, as long as they meet the necessary specifications. Top and bottom logos must be JPEG or PNG format but the recommended resolution for top logos is 300x100; the resolution of your bottom logo should be 200x100.

For customized backgrounds of the Home Screen or the Shortcut Menu, the image must also be JPEG or PNG format. The required aspect ratio for both is 2:1, while the recommended resolution size is 4096x2048.

You can either choose from preset color palettes or customize your Home Screen theme with hex codes.

When it comes to your Home Screen, you can also adjust the opacity of the background color. You can choose from 1-100 for the opacity percentage. Your selected opacity will only be applied to the Home Screen menu displaying your VR content, not the toolbar menu settings.
