Source changes — 2026-04-30

All edits in source/. Rebuild required, then move build artifact into launcher/.

Branding

File	Change
program_info/CMakeLists.txt	Launcher_DisplayName → "racked.ru launcher" (was "Prism Launcher")
launcher/Application.cpp:300	setApplicationDisplayName() no longer appends version. Window title becomes racked.ru launcher (was Prism Launcher 11.0.0-develop)

Launcher_CommonName left as PrismLauncher — used for binary name, install paths, env var prefix. Changing it would require renaming bin/prismlauncher, prismlauncher.cfg, and PRISMLAUNCHER_DATA_DIR env handling. Display-only rebrand is cleaner.

"Cracked" scrub — DONE

All 7 files cleaned. Diegiwg/PrismLauncher-Cracked URLs → placeholder s8n-ru/minecraft-launcher. Doc prose rephrased to "PrismLauncher upstream fork (Diegiwg)". Per-file copyright headers + LICENSE preserved (GPL-3.0 §5c).

Files touched: CMakeLists.txt, program_info/CMakeLists.txt, program_info/org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher.metainfo.xml.in, README_RELEASE.md, PROJECT_SUMMARY.md, BUILD_GUIDE.md, scripts/create-release.sh.

Open: placeholder repo slug s8n-ru/minecraft-launcher — replace with real repo URL once chosen.

News feed → racked.ru

File	Setting	Old	New
CMakeLists.txt:174	Launcher_NEWS_RSS_URL	https://prismlauncher.org/feed/feed.xml	https://racked.ru/feed.xml
CMakeLists.txt:175	Launcher_NEWS_OPEN_URL	https://prismlauncher.org/news	https://racked.ru/news

Open: racked.ru must serve a valid RSS feed at /feed.xml or news pane stays empty + retries. Until ready, optional disable by setting URLs blank.

Default settings (ported runtime → source defaults)

File	Setting	Old default	New default
launcher/Application.cpp	MinMemAlloc	512	384
launcher/Application.cpp	MaxMemAlloc	SysInfo::defaultMaxJvmMem()	4096
launcher/Application.cpp	MenuBarInsteadOfToolBar	false	true

See SETTINGS_AUDIT.md for full diff table.

Bloat strips — DONE

Source-side

Target	Action	Saved
.github/	deleted	136K
tests/ + if(BUILD_TESTING) block in CMakeLists.txt:503-505	deleted	~928K
nix/, flake.nix, flake.lock	deleted	~28K
launcher/resources/multimc/ icon theme	deleted (3M) but instance icons preserved (see below)	~2.5M

multimc → racked_ru migration

multimc theme had only Application.cpp:950 hardcoded reference (default instance icons) plus Qt theme fallback. Plan B chosen — extracted the 71 instance icons into racked_ru/, dropped rest of multimc.

File	Change
launcher/resources/racked_ru/{32x32,50x50,128x128,scalable}/instances/	new — copied from multimc
launcher/resources/racked_ru/racked_ru.qrc	added 71 file entries under prefix="/icons/racked_ru"
launcher/CMakeLists.txt:1284	removed resources/multimc/multimc.qrc from qt_add_resources()
launcher/Application.cpp:950-951	:/icons/multimc/...instances/ → :/icons/racked_ru/...instances/
launcher/ui/themes/ThemeManager.h:94	builtinIcons{"flat_white", "multimc"} → {"flat_white", "racked_ru"}

Risk note: non-instance multimc icons (proxy, language, atlauncher logo, etc.) no longer baked. flat_white covers most UI icons. If a niche icon is missing in active theme, blank slot. Surface during test, easy fix (copy missing icon from upstream multimc archive into flat_white or racked_ru).

Runtime-side (launcher/)

Deleted	Saved
java/java21.tar.gz (extracted archive leftover)	198M
*sync-conflict* (Syncthing leftovers, 4 files)	~340K
cache/* (regens on first launch)	~5.5M

launcher/ size: 1.3G → 1.1G.

Verification (after rebuild)

1. cd source && cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release && cmake --build build -j$(nproc)
2. Move new prismlauncher binary + resource artifacts into launcher/bin/ and launcher/share/ as appropriate
3. Run launcher/run.sh
4. Check:
   • Window title = racked.ru launcher (no version suffix)
   • Settings → Appearance → Icon Theme dropdown lists flat_white + racked_ru only
   • Instance List shows valid kitten/Minecraft instance icons (not blank squares)
   • News pane shows racked.ru content (or empty/retrying if feed not yet live)
   • "Fabulously Optimized" instance launches Minecraft cleanly

Out of scope (per user decision)

• Modplatform strips (ATLauncher / Technic / FTB / Legacy FTB / Import FTB / Packwiz) — kept (nostalgia)
• Other icon themes (flat, breeze_, pe_, iOS, OSX) — kept
• backgrounds/ cat art — kept
• Java bundle — kept (instant-play guarantee)
