Hahah Yui>>>>>>Yukino for sure. And you can put animations in themes? I thought that it wasn't possible since there are no official Nintendo themes that have animations

Animations are made on the bottom screen in three frames.

I'd like to request a theme.

Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem to Fates×Final Fantasy 1 to 15

Interestingly, there is 15 'main' games in both franchises.
Since Crisis Core, et cetera are considered to be part of other games, like FF7.

Don't bother with TMS#FE, Tactics, Chocobo Tales, Crystal Chronicles, et cetera. Just the main games.

I believe that the topic stopped being updated.

- Themes of the Week -
Ayurumina's Animated Miku
j99D9Bx.png

So first in the list is a Miku theme and honestly it's pretty bad in terms of quality. I mean literally everything about the theme is bad quality. From the sound effects to the bgm to the backgrounds to the animation. As you can probably tell from the disgusting amount of aliasing happening on the top screen, it's a huge render that was scaled and slapped on with little care. That should be avoided...always. Aside from the actual bottom background doing an upward shuffle in the middle frame, I don't hate the idea of the dancing Miku. The renders are poor though. To summarize this theme: I liked the idea, but aside from that, this theme is pretty bad.

Route's Chocolate Insomnia
I0tBpS3.png

A Bakemonogatari theme with an animation. The animation itself isn't amazing given it's unedited rips of a couple of frames from the OP. With some work, it could have probably been something rather fantastic (alternating chocolate blocks in the background, making the clouds actually look like they are moving, and maybe drop out the middle falling frame so Hanekawa doesn't look like she is floating). Colorwise, it's mostly seifuku (school uniform) colors though I really don't like the black on pink, or the heavy pink folder colors. Both the folder and icon background images are nothing special. No sfx, a nice top background, and the great Yui Horie song. Not the greatest, but it could be worse.

Bulls' D.Va Theme
getPreview.php

So another tasteful theme from Bulls featuring D.Va. A nice scrolling background with D.Va's logo and even a large version of the logo in the middle to spice things up. There is a shit-ton of pink, which I never liked, but meh, I can't say it doesn't match. The folder is sort of a rehash of the background and the icon border isn't anything special. Comes with Overwatch music and...super smash brothers sound effects.

Ayurumina's Ever Afther High
EcuG5Z3.png

So it's another Ayurumina theme and....it's still pretty shit quality, so I'm only going to mention the reason it's actually even here. That top screen? That is a marvelous idea. It's a frame around anything that shows up on the top screen. Not many people do that (I probably wouldn't since I've always got more pictures that I want up there than I can deal with), but it's not a bad option if you have nothing or use the bottom screen for the main...eyecatch...which would be kind of distracting.

(@Tephie) Metalknuxx's Fire Emblem Fates - Corrin Female
6bzidXH.png

Most of the colors for this theme are good except for the folder stuff which seems to just ditch the blue color theme entirely...for gray colors. Still no special folders, icon borders, or sound effects. The song choice isn't exactly my favorite, but it isn't a poor choice. The main point is the bottom screen which also features an animated background. I like that even though there is the title, it's not overly opaque. The bubbles animation could have been better with some more realistic paths, but overall it's not a bad theme.

@StormThunder's LiEat 3DS Theme
vTf7TLN.png

A theme for a game I would like to try. No folder icon, icon borders, or sound effects. Just your standard backgrounds, music, and colors. The colors are pretty good on this theme. The backgrounds also provide borders for the various UI elements (though the bottom screen isn't close-cut to the buttons for some reason). It's an alright theme.

link15's Metroid
LaP3hAx.png

A dark samus theme with some matching music. There isn't too much to say about this theme. It's not bad, there aren't any particularly offending colors (except for the folder arrow). The bottom screen is a simple logo that surprisingly enough isn't too distracting. No sound effects, and folder icons/icon borders aren't something to write home about.

Volga's Metroid Theme
FqWZpu1.png

Another Metroid theme that is about the same as the previous one. The folder icon is at least discernible though I dislike the straight black. The color choices are somewhat more preferable than the generic black colors though the glaring white sun behind the logo does make this bottom screen a little bit more distracting. And...it might just be me, but the music quality doesn't sound the greatest.

@piplupwater's Pokemon Sun/Moon Rowlet
getPreview.php

A piplupwater theme featuring some icon work from Ryumaru. Both of them are among the better themers so most of it looks pretty decent. It has some fancy fan-made pokecenter music and even has the pokecenter jingle for the openlid sound effect...though no other sound effects. The gap looks like it might be too short between the screens, but I'm only guesstimating.

SuicideMoon's Pokemon WiFi Connection
DRv6kEe.png

A second pokemon theme, this time with a primary focus on the WiFi connection screens. Nothing much to say about the colors, they are black. Folder and icon borders are alright considering there isn't much material to work with. The same pokecenter jingle for the openlid sfx and the wifi connection music. Honestly the default colors of the screens were good already so there isn't much to say about them except for the bottom screen. The bottom screen's characters look like they were scaled and have anti-aliasing around them. Normally that isn't a problem, especially when dealing with renders, but in this case, the images are actually semi-pixel art and so the anti-aliasing actually makes it look fuzzy and less crisp. Sometimes not much can be done about it, but it's something to note.

Stellacate's Stella Glow - Mother Qualia
PMo6kJz.png

This theme has both great and really bad qualities. The folder icon, icon borders, arrow button colors, and the folder background color to some extent....are all kind of bad. The top screen is a throw away image. Almost anything could go there and it wouldn't really change anything. With that said, The bottom screen background (sans blatant logo) and most of the button colors are actually really nice. It has sound effects and some "battle" music.

SorkyEXE's (w/ additions from @Favna) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild
getPreview.php

A Zelda theme for the up and coming game featuring some weird brown color with BRIGHT NEON SKYBLUE. Honestly most of the actual theme is just meh with the only redeeming factors being the background screen thanks to them being more or less open scenery (with a non-looping Link on a mountain that just vanishes at some point). Favna's additions only changed the BGM and added some sound effects, both of which are nice enough (though the sound effects went through a blender). Too bad the original theme just isn't great.

NarutoRenegado's The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
cCjqrnC.png

The final Zelda theme I have based on the new game, this one is actually...really good. The folder looks pretty great, the icon border has something going on that isn't TOO busy, and there isn't much I want to harp about the color choices. The top screen is a fantastic scrolling screen and the bottom is a static screen with a matching pattern. There are some clean crisp Zelda sound effects, and probably the only thing I find questionable is the BGM pick (a very slow, quiet piano song). It's a really well done theme and deserves some actual props.

@Ryumaru's Tokyo Ghoul
getPreview.php

So I didn't find Tokyo Ghoul to be something like AOTS, but at least I didn't hate all of the characters...though I do hate that falsetto opening song. The top and bottom screens look fine separately, though they don't really have much else in common besides having Kaneki in the picture. All of the colors are fine, the icon border looks good, and the folder icon is alright (though I still don't get the red spots that are supposedly...eyes). The sound effects are gorey, but great quality.

@Ramzh's Yahari. - Yui Yuigahama
getPreview.php

So I had the option of choosing between showing the Yuigahama theme or the Yukinoshita theme, but Yui is best girl so fuk you. Anyways, I like how the top screen was done. When in doubt of what image you want to use, use more of them, though the art style is different between them. There's a color play between the two themes inverting the colors of the buttons which is a nice idea (I did it myself too), but it's using black and white (which I don't like). The folder icon and icon borders are both lacking and the bottom screen background could do without the speech bubble. No sound effects, but there is Yanagi Nagi's glorious voice to listen to, so it doesn't really matter.

So this thread might possibly be redundant to some people, but those people don't matter to me. As the thread title suggests, this thread is (in theory) a thread where people can post up requests for themes and all of the requests will end up in the first post so finding requests isn't a hunt.

There is also a theme of the week...mostly because I want it there. There wasn't really any reason for it. If anything, maybe it can be used to highlight different themers and their fancier themes. Honestly though, this is going to be biased to all hell since I'm the one picking.

Also, in the hopes of people making more quality themes, you can ask for some opinions about what you currently have (maybe you can't decide on a color, or just want a second opinion, etc.) or give your own opinion about other people's work in progress.

Themers, try not to take each and every comment as someone hating on your theme, and if you feel that others opinions aren't needed, then there is little you can obtain from this thread.
Opinionated bystanders, try not to be reserved in your critiquing, this thread is for improving themes, not pandering to themer ego. Worst case, I might reply and give my own opinions.

Lastly, tying in with the quality themes, you can ask for some ideas or advice. Maybe you aren't good at coming up with good folder icons, icon borders, or something else. Then we can all sit and wiggle around your issues too until you get something you are satisfied with.

tl;dr: A thread for chatting about Work in Progress 3ds themes
hello friend, thank you very much for making a review on my 2 themes , but I feel you as outsmarted , and I say this because I was easy to say that both themes are shit for you.
well, I would ask that , if you see something you do not like about my themes , please , do not tell or do review if you do badly, I did not and published works of art like the others , I just publish what I like , so I ask you to withdraw those words ... maybe you're very observant , but you did do that makes you look like a conceited .
Again, I ask you to please remove these review if you do not like what you see , do not want to be praised or want to hear comments have unnecessary .
if you do not like my work , do not take into account , it is hard for or explain it with apples ???
Thank you very much and greetings
please , I ask you not to do review of my themes if you watch something you do not like .
I if I look at something I do not like, do not loose the first shit that happens to me , I go straight to the point and say if I like or not
Sorry by my english,i only speak spanish

I don't think your themes are shit. The things that I dislike about your themes are the image quality and sound quality (things that could and should be improved), not necessarily the colors or content/layout (things more or less up to the themer's discretion). The fact that I even have them in my list of Theme of the Week means that I like them for one reason or another. You publish what you like, and I review what I like. I don't review what I dislike because it's already troublesome enough to review the things I do like. With that said, if you want them off the first post, I'll remove them from there, but I'm not retracting anything I said from the actual post because my opinion now is still the same as it was then.

The entire premise behind the Theme of the Week was based on being conceited because I'm not talking about other people's opinions (not that anyone gives any), but my own opinions as a themer who hates aliasing, bad color choices, poor/distracting layouts, poor quality resources (sound/image), and incomplete themes.

---

As for this thread itself, I can't bring myself to sit for a couple hours to judge themes with how much free time I have, nor do I want to go back to a single theme a week because then I would be doing it forever unless I really want to just bin a lot of themes that I would like to highlight for one reason or another and just show themes that have fewer flaws...which pretty much means like Ryumaru, Albireo, and maybe a couple others (and not even all of the themes from these guys, because I'm picky as hell)...

Not to mention that apparently nobody takes up any of the requests that are listed, or asks for actual advice/quality checking. Everyone just does their own thing, and I don't really mind that, but that does mean that I'm pretty much conversing with myself for most of the thread.

hello, thank you very much for that explanation, but really, my bothers me get reviews (both positive and negative). if they like my themes or not to everyone, with that I am more than satisfied. what matters is me if I do not like to be taken as someone in mind, based on reviews, I'm not that kind ... my what interested me before leaving uploading themes, more than anything, was chillin ' but up what I liked, but that for someone to come to look to the smallest detail and to stand out my good and bad points, just bothers me ... can someone tell me "hey, your theme is good, but the music is heard fairly bad " or say " your background is very snobby, " that to me does not help me, did not come to give the visual one likes me, and whom an downloaded my themes, which are people I do not know, they did not lose time to give me a review, BUT WHY BE ??? sure would ask that, and the answer is very obvious, that's why I did not ask anyone to give me his point of view about it ... well, thank you very much for answering and neglected, it does not bother me what you do, what bothers me is that I was not willing to appear on your recommendations or someone else talk about me without even askingreally thanks...
please, do not like to receive reviews, I had to have known and so I had to decide if I agree or not
sorry,but i speak spanish,my english is so bad

SFX stands for sound effects; what you are looking for is "Enable use of BGM". It is right underneath "Enable use of SFX", you just have to scroll down.

Why not be the official plugin Nintendo has no copyright restrictions.
@jurassicplayer You could add this program in the tool list on the main page.
