The same happens here ... I have no sound, no colors and if I scroll the bottom screen so the image changes, the half of the bottom screen image will disapear and some weird lines will appear. None of this happens in Custom Theme Tools with the same images and sound file.

none of this has ever happened in my tests lol.. try the latest build? the only time it may act weird is if you have and kind of images disabled but im in the process of ironing it all out

mmm could it be because of the theme it's based on? I was using the latest build :P I'm on Windows 7 64bit (I doubt that's the prob)

mmm I managed to get my theme working fine with Yata ... I don't know what did it but I redownloaded Yata, started from the same base theme and redid everything :P the thing I changed in the settings is the bottom screen scroll mode.

I think I'm doing something wrong, as I can't seem to change the icons' colors at all. When I change them in the settings, it doesn't has any effect at all. Do I have to fill all these boxes with colors? Well, I'm noob, so I don't know even why are there so many boxes to fill. For example, I'm using a plain brown folder icon that I want to recolor to red, how exactly do I do this? Sorry for asking to such precise directions, I can't figure it out for myself.

those resolutions are viewable pixels.. they are supposed to be 1024x256 / 512x256


for image shift, check what i said above,as for the rest, ill double check over the code but the way it works is if its disabled, it doesnt write that field.As it should work.
I've been using the first template for the second post of this thread. The dimensions and everything should be just fine, however, I still get the same problem. The only other way for me to really get it right is to keep inching it over to the right, which is not an issue that I have with the other theme utility, I have different problems when it comes to that, which are fixed in your program, haha. This is only an issue when I want to be very nit-picky with the positioning of the image.

EDIT: Okay, so after a few hours of experimentation, YATA's been corrupting all of my themes, and I've been getting "Could not find the file 'new_dec_BodyCache.bin". I've tried to use several different themes as a base, and none of them have gotten out of it alive. I haven't tried restarting my computer yet, and every other program I've used to make themes have not been working either, so maybe it's just me.

I came across a bug in the theme settings. It seems like "Close Button" and "Bottom Btns" are switched as far as what they represent in the actual theme.

Also, there is some kind of bug when I put attributes for colors in the "Bottom Btns" and "Close Button" they always seem to switch places.

I made a guide for the theme settings part of the program to help anyone figure out where exactly the colors are going, some of the stuff I am still trying to figure out, and will try to update.

This is what I have so far:


Cursor: The selection cursor on the bottom screen that you control with the D-pad or Analog controls. The second and fourth box control the strobe color change effect, the 2nd box is the first color and the fourth box the next color. The fourth box also controls the color effect that happens when you select an item on the bottom screen.

3D Folders: The 3d folder that appears on the top screen when you have a folder selected. This is only the folder part, the paper inside the folder is the "Files" location. The first box is the folder shading, the second box is the actual color of the folder.

Files: This controls the 3d folder's "paper" that's located in the 3d file on the top screen, as well as the bottom screens "paper" that's in the folder icon. This also controls the color of the background of the top screens 3d icon of DS emulated games. On the bottom screen's "paper" color in ascending order from bottom to top, box's 1-3. The top screen's 3d "paper" color, and the DS emulated icon is box 2 only.

Arrow Button: These are the buttons on the far left and right sides of the bottom screen with an arrow in the middle. The first box controls the shaded area, the second the main color, the third box controls the outside rim color.

Arrow: This controls the color's of the arrow located in the "Arrow Button". The first box is the outside border color, the second box is the main color, the third box is the color the arrow turns when you use the touch screen to press the button.

Bottom Btns: This is the bar on the bottom of the bottom screen that says "Open". The first box color is the bottom shading and the button color when its pressed, the second box is the main color of the button, the third box is the top border color of the button and also the color the button turns when you press open or close, the fourth box is the text bottom layer shading, the fifth box is the main text color, the sixth box is the color when you press the arrow button on the touch screen.

Close Button: The "close" button on the bottom screen when you exit a game, The first box controls the bottom button shading, the second box controls the buttons main color, the third box controls the buttons top border color, the fourth box ?, the fifth box controls the color of the text, the sixth box controls the text color when the button is pressed.

Game Text:

Bottom Solid:

Bottom Outer:

Folder BG: This controls the colors inside a folder and the empty slot "boxes". The first box is the empty slots top border shading, the second box is the main color background of the folder, the third box is the empty slots main box color, fourth box ??

Folder Arrow: ??

Icon-resize: This controls the colors of the top left and right buttons on the bottom screen. One button controls the 3ds theme options, the other controls the icon-resize properties. The first box controls the secondary button border color, the second box controls the buttons main color, the third box controls the overall button border color and main button top shading, the fourth box controls ??, the fifth box controls the middle icons main color, the sixth box controls middle icons main shading and the color of the effect when pressed, the seventh color ??

Top Overlay: This controls the colors of the buttons in the left and right bottom corners of the top screen. The first box controls the main button color, the second box ?, the third box ?, the fourth box controls the middle icon colors.

Demo Msg:This controls the bottom screen text color and bottom shading of the demo message. The first box controls the shading color background, the second box controls the text color "uses remaining: #" message.

I'm glad the latest version fixes the bug that prevents certain themes from opening the Settings tab, but I can't seem to save any themes at all with the latest version.
It says "Could not find the file 'new_dec_BodyCache.bin'" when trying to save.

Thanks for this program I have been making my first theme and it is nearly done which was a chore since I'm on Linux and using wine which crashes when I try to simulate (so I have to test changes on my real system)

But I have one bit of colour that I can't figure out. How can I change the colour that is around icons? You can see them looking out of place on the bottom screen in the screen shot.

O.K. i have tried yata for 4 hours and every time i get the same issues. destroyed folder icons, wrong border color and on the 3ds the folders are black.
i think this programm is really in alpha status and you need luck to get it to work correctly. maybe with a later release i try it again.

I had the same issue and I redownloaded it, ran it in administrator mode (not sure that changes anything) and restarted from scratch and for some reasons it worked :P

always tried. same issues. i think EFE is the best program for custom themes. yata is very, very buggy. in the rare case it changed the colors correctly, it destroy my folder color.

This is your problem, don't use EFE, it locks the file, to where if you try to modify the hex, the theme blows up. Just use custom theme tools and YATA. When you open a theme you make by EFE its all default and the hex is zeroed out, when I tried to change the theme manually with the hex editor after encrypting and decrypting it, the theme would just be corrupted.

So yea start over with Custom theme tools, then you may have to re-import the top image using YATTA, then everything should work. Your source LZ.bin should not come from EFE.
