Does this allow for changing the icon and name of the NSO app as well?
I am going to use that one as a custom HBL applet, I already made the override so it always loads the HBL when opening it, but I have yet to make custom icons and change its name to say "Homebrew Launcher".

Does anyone have issues with generating game files in atmosphere/contents/ folder in cfw 1.2.1? The files are missing for me.

Is there a way to go back to default icons?

for a quick back and forth just turn off the sys-tweak module. If you are using sys-tweak or want to permanently remove them you will need to remove the, from the /atmosphere/contents/XXX/ directories (where XXX is the titleID of the games you’ve modified.)

It’s something you install to do some MITM tricks. Changing icons is one of the tricks. You don’t need sys-tweak but it’s useful to get some very specific things done. You would definitely know if you had to install it for one of its features. You can read about them here: https://github.com/p-sam/switch-sys-tweak

Check out this clown.
(you state “1.2.2”. Y u no upgrade?)

Edit: the 1.1 release from 16bw may work with 1.2 as well https://github.com/16BitWonder/switch-sys-tweak/releases

I'm too lazy to upgrade.

The 1.1.0 pre release was not working for me. Will try again later and report back. Will also try those other versions on the linked clown text

Update. This one works https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-game-icons-tutorial-and-sharing-hub.574675/page-26#post-9738297

Hello! I could use a bit of help, if anyone knows where I went wrong with my process. I dumped my titles with NX-GIC v1.3.0 and it displays them just fine. I'm not sure what I'm missing, but when I select the drop-down for the icon style, the drop-down is blank and there are no options. I'm on the latest version of Atmosphere and the latest firmware, and vertical themes work fine.

EDIT: Figured it out! Didn't realize I had to make another folder within Main and manually place icons there.

I would also kindly ask for some icons:
Dr. Kawashimas Brain Training
Tricky Towers
Naruto Shippuden Ultimate NInja Storm 4
edit: not quite sure if my hbmenu.nsp has the same title id as the hb icon, but don't have a clue where I get the title id for my hbmenu

sorry…on mobile on the road (not driving though).

Have you tried using a working icon on these non working game titles? For example, let’s say that Mario Odyssey is one of the games with a working icon. Use the working Mario icon temporarily with The Binding of Issac. That will let you know if it‘s a bad icon or…something else.

For hbmenu you can try rebuilding the forwarder and supplying your custom icon? (this may be wrong approach…wish I could try it real quick for you.) Yup. This is wrong. You can do it by titleID as well.

Nx titles dumper should show you the tid of all installed titles, refer to the CSV list it will be in there.

title IDs > Show List of Installed Games (CSV)

As for icons not working I'm 99% sure all the icons work but if it's a grey questionmark I will gladly fix it.

If you are stuck there might be an answer for you here; https://sodasoba1.github.io/NSW-Custom-Game-Icons/

so does that mean you can use the contents directory for forwarders like hbmenu? Will gladly correct my answer.
