I'm creating these tutorials because I know that many users find it difficult to create custom themes with fully customized icons. I will not give graphic designer classes, but I will pass all the methods that Nintendo uses in the creation of their themes.

GIMP opens PSD files and allows you to make edits.

Sorry for the double post, but this is one of the greatest threads I have seen in a long time. This actually got me interested in a new concept. I love making themes now. I will post my first one here when I finish. Thank you for your hard work and effort. Cheers.

Thanks. Themes should be posted on this topic https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-theme-thread.377399/ You can use the tutorials topic to get explanations or publish materials that help you create themes. I'm going to post a new tutorial this week, on how to create themes with rolling images.

I added a new topic, I will provide a package of tutorials, with a definitive material. This material can only be used in the latest version of Usagi. Stretching effects on images and textures will be created automatically. To begin with, I'm making the first part of the tutorial available. For updates on the other parts, just follow this topic.
