Homebrew [Release]CustomRGBPattern: Change the default blue notification led color to some other color.

[Kartik]

This program creates an IPS file that allows you to change the default blue notifcation led color to some other color.

To use:-

1. Download the precompiled binary and run it
2. Type in a rgb hex.
3. Move the 0004013000003502 folder from the out folder to sdcard:/luma/titles

Done

Don't forget to enable luma game patching!

Download the precompiled binaries from here:-

Spoiler: Pink color

As pointed out by @AnalogMan, you need to restart your 3ds after putting up the files on your sd card.

This is really cool

Could something similar be done to change other notification LEDs? Like for StreetPass and when a Friend comes online?

This is really sweet. I didn't realize something like this could be accomplished by patching a Title

I don't know about Streetpass but friend one can be done.

This is nice! Is the default power LED editable too?

RGB 3DS? Oh boy, Linus would LOVE this.

Jokes aside, nice work!

Changing the Friend LED would be very useful! It may be just me, but that orange color it is always makes me thing it is a low battery indicator or something. A different color would be less alarming

this is nice, what range of colors are available?

this looks really cool. thanks!

I need this NOW.

This is beautiful

Interesting. I wonder if the low power light can be changed because I never notice it. It's simply not as bright as the screen of play, so it doesn't grab my attention.

Aw man, Windows executable only, and doesn't work in WINE. Time to look through the source and do it manually.

The instructions are Windows only, but you can compile on Unix-based systems. Just compiled on my Macbook Pro and it appears to work (Haven't actually tested the .ips file, but looking at the commits it is cross-platform)

gcc main.c -o CustomRGBPattern

Is it possible some day to do it on non cfw?

Thank you, I did notice that the code had WIN32 and other sections so I did manage to compile it for Mac OS X, and have the IPS file now. Just trying to find a way to test it.

Not in the way the notification led is controlled - and even then, you would have the choice of blue or red
Of course, you can physically replace the pair of leds that illuminate the hole in the case labeled "power"

this is nice, what range of colors are available?

Any color that can be expressed in 24-bit RGB color (marketing names for 24-bit RGB: "true color" and "16 millions of colors")

Use NotifyMii to create a notification... or just enter standby, you're not a true experimenter if you never out of the 10 tutorial notifications lol

LOL, I use Purgification to clear my notifications, so they're long gone, but I'll use NotifyMii, thanks for the heads up.

EDIT: it works! Keep in mind you need to restart the console if you change the color before you can see the changed effect. Colors are a bit brighter then their HEX counterparts, so aim a little darker than the actual color you want.
