Pasta CFW Customs Themes Thread
​

Hi everyone! This thread is for us to share our Pasta Cfw custom themes!

How to make themes:
​

1.Download and install the program imagemagick on your PC first. (Link below)
2.To start you need to download and edit the images included in the pasta cfw source code (Link for the Github below) The files are located on Pasta-CFW/CFW_Loader/gfx/
3.Convert them to .bin using the PastaCFW Theme Creator.bat (Windows) or the makebgr-all.sh (Linux/Mac) file located in the same foder as the pictures.
4.Put the properly named images in the UI folder inside sd/3ds/PastaCFW/UI/.

How to apply already created themes:​

1.Extract the the downloaded archive
2.Locate the files ending with .bin
3.Copy them and replace your files located in the 3ds sd directory sd/3ds/PastaCFW/UI/ (Optional make a backup of the UI folder first)

How to use the new Theme Preview Generator
​

Spoiler

This script allows you to create various static and animated previews of your theme, at once.
Just run makeprev.sh or makeprev.bat and it will create a new folder that contains the new previews, based on the .png files.
If you want to specify the delay between the frames of a generated gif, just add the new delay after the command, e.g., if you want every frame to last 2 seconds, enter:

sh makeprev.sh 200

NOTE: The extension of the files must be lowercase on GNU/Linux, and OS X with case-sensitive FS.

​

If the PNG files are not available, you can convert BIN (BGR) files to PNG:

How to use the new BIN to PNG converter (sh only, at the moment)​

Spoiler

This script converts all .bin files of a theme to .png.
Just run makepng-all.sh or makepng-all.bat and the files will be converted.

How to use the new Release Packager script for developers (sh only, at the moment)​

Spoiler

Make sure DevKitPRO and DevKitARM and all other dependencies are installed and configured correctly, then open a terminal and run release.sh or release.bat.
A new file, PastaCFW.zip, will be created, that contains PastaCFW with your latest changes, plus all the files needed.
Although it is possible to use this on Windows, it is recommended to use it in GNU/Linux or OS X in order to add the executable bit to pastaConfig and the shell scripts (the same applies to packaging the files manually).

Thanks to nastys for this tutorial and all the sh scripts plus makeprev.bat and pastaConfig for GNU/Linux and OS X.
AlbertoSONIC for PastaCFWTheme Creator.bat, multitheme support and many awesome features and as always thanks to the entire Pasta CFW Team. ​

I don't really see the point of this. Who actually ever sees the ui? I just auto boot past it

If you don't use the UI this post is not for you then. This is for the people that use the UI if there are any more like me

I'm curious, are there any benefits to using the ui?

No. It just looks awesome haha. I used to use it to enable or disable firmlaunch but now you can do it holding the r botton. So this is just for personalization purposes. I know it won't appeal to many people but I'm happy for the ones that like it. It's just a nice little touch to have.

The more GWish it looks maybe the more people will use it. People like GUIs. And Features.

well, there is an easy fix for that : edit the keybindings of left and right to up and down (you can find them in the main.c file of the cfw_loader source code) once that is done, just compile, use the theme and done ! ^^
