(over 9000 downloads on themezer I'm shocked! thank you)

Made for HOS 14.0.0+ (groups & folders in allapps menu)
edit: no errors reported for 16.0.1

You'll need sys-tweak to get icons working correctly.

Be sure to update NXThemes Installer to 2.7 it has the new lockscreen IPS patches, it's been stated you HAVE to update via the appstore for it to work correctly, just updating the nro may not work


the icon ratio is 2:3 and fully supports https://github.com/Slluxx/IconGrabber (made by sluxx)

you can also use NX-GIC icons to mass transfer icons quicky https://sodasoba1.github.io/

sys-tweak (tested on 16.0.1|AMS 1.5.4|S) : Same link as above

Option.SZS patch
This isn't required but I'll include it so you can complete the theme look.
this works exactly like the other nxtheme files but isn't supported by Themezer

Unpatched option.szs looks un themed:This is with the patched option.szs:
00opt.jpgHome_Menu_20220401_223648_00.jpg



Option.szs (has to be manually patched in switchlayouteditor and copied to SDMC:/atmosphere/contents/0100000001000/romfs/lyt with the other szs files)

It's a little more advanced but not impossible.

You'll need switchlayouteditor app : https://github.com/FuryBaguette/SwitchLayoutEditor/releases

Locate your version of Option.szs: sdmc:/themes/systemData/
01-sdmc.png

Make a copy of Option.szs to your desktop & download the diffpatch I've attached to this post named
"Option-diffpatch-for-switchdeck.zip"
02-opt-diff-switchdeck.png
extract the diff patch

03-ext-diff-switchdeck.png

Open switchlayouteditor and drag option.szs into the application
04-load-option .png

once option.szs is open a smaller window will open, we only need to load our diffpatch and not actually edit anything here.
Click Tools > Load JSON patch
05-load-diff-switchdeck.png

locate the diffpatch and open it:
6-open-diff-switchdeck.png
once it's loaded you will get a pop up stating it's loaded
7-loaded-diff-switchdeck.png
now save the patched option.szs
by clicking Save > Save or using the Ctrl+S hotkeys
8-loaded-diff-switchdeck.png

paste the patched option.szs into
SDMC:/atmosphere/contents/010000000001000/romfs/lyt/
9-loaded-diff-switchdeck.png
This folder should have other szs files already in there.

Reboot your switch and that's it.

Thank you, I really appreciate the feedback, its nice to know others like it I'm still using it when I'm not testing other theme projects.
It's taken a lot of work to get it to this level, there are a few things I'm not totally happy with (lockscreen) but I hope to eventually fix those issues when I get some free time.
The best theme I've used so far. Amazing. <3

Thank you, it's taken a lot of work to make it happen. I do plan on attempting to fix the lockscreen game icon being off center

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
