Among the most iconic tools in that space is ATV Launcher, which received its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/atv-launcher-pro-0-1-40-update-3703254\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">0.1.40 update<\/a> last month, featuring a new layout editor. Now, the developer is keeping that update momentum going with the rollout of ATV Launcher v0.1.41.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 4\"  alt=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 4\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ATV-Launcher-v0.1.41-update_4.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AndroidTV\/comments\/1wpfqr9\/atv_launcher_v0141_is_out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">announced on Reddit<\/a>, ATV Launcher version 0.1.41 leans heavily into aesthetic control and home-screen utility. Headlining the update is \u201cArrangements,\u201d which brings ten fixed row layouts such as Spotlight, Bookends, Centre Stage, Marquee, and Hero Trio, featuring double-sized highlight tiles alongside traditional horizontal and vertical scrolling rows.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 5\"  alt=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 5\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ATV-Launcher-v0.1.41-update_5.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The update also lets you place widgets directly inside app rows via a tile\u2019s context menu. Supported options include Weather, Digital Clock, System Info, Favorite App, Watch Next, Recommended, and standard Android system widgets (as supported by your device firmware).<\/p>\n<p>In tandem with this, the developer has launched \u201cATV Launcher Digital Clock Widgets,\u201d a separate free companion pack featuring 15 distinct clock styles, such as Halo, Masthead, Orbit, Departure, and Meridian.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 2\"  alt=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ATV-Launcher-v0.1.41-update_2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Visual flexibility across individual elements is also being overhauled. Folders can now display internal contents through Grid, Banner Grid, or Mosaic previews. An upgraded Configure Tile dialog adds a live preview interface offering seven looks for apps and nine for folders, paired with custom banner assignments and color, gradient, or image backgrounds with variable transparency.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Watch Next and Recommended cards receive edge-to-edge artwork, progress bars, configurable app-source filters, and badge options.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_xh\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 3\"  alt=\"ATV Launcher v0.1.41 update 3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ATV-Launcher-v0.1.41-update_3.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Rounding out the release is a fully modular status bar.
