HOW TO CREATE A THEME

A theme is composed by several files:
body_LZ.bin - Contains background images and some theme settings.
BGM.bcstm - Contains theme BGM sound.
Preview.png/.jpg/.bmp - Screenshot used by CHMM2 for preview system.
BGM.ogg - Contains theme BGM preview sound, used by CHMM2 for preview system.
info.smdh - Contains icon, author, description and title of the theme.

- To create first three files i recommend to use YATA+ ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-yet-another-theme-application-plus-yata-3ds-theme-editor.393355/ )
- To create BGM.ogg file i recommend to use Audacity ( http://audacityteam.org )
- To create info.smdh file i recommend to use SMDH Creator ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-the-smdh-creator-make-your-own-icon-pack.396765/ )

Cool

 

[SomeGamer]

Nice!

 

[Rinnegatamante]

Anyone who notice a line 61 error should re-download the RAR file, my bad.

 

[SLiV3R]

Very nice! And it supports shuffling too

 

[Danieldodi]

Noob question: Now we put the themes inside the CHMM folder?

Edit: Ok i'm blind.

 

[Caseyfam]

Holy crap, this is amazing! It looks so good too! I can't wait to try this when I get home.

 

[BurningDesire]

As much as i don't want to love this I'm in love with it.

 

[plasma]

Great work!
Is there a way we can change the font of the app? Looking at it, idk why but I see Google's Roboto a better choice

 

[Konako]

Wow that's really really cool !

 

[duwen]

Nice work! I'll be trying this out later on both my o3ds (cia) and n3dsxl (3dsx).
Cheers!

 

[~Poke~]

i just put 5 themes on, works great!
i think i found a bug though, the 3ds freezes if i try to see a preview for a theme that doesn't have one.

 

[SomeGamer]

How can I save the themes to shuffle?

Tested it for a while, I love this app!

I have some bugs to report:
-app freezes if there's no preview to preview (sorry for the pun) [a message saying something like 'No preview available' would be nice]
-some .ogg file won't play (I have to test this using smaller files, even thought the file I'm using is still pretty light, 5mb)
-if a description is too long it won't fit the description box

 

[WhoAmI?]

Dude! This is awesome!

2) It seems some themes without BGM.bcstm will cause audio issues (like themes with no sound or themes with wrong sounds). This is not CHMM2 fault but wrong body_LZ.bin creation by theme makers. I would ask to @exelix11 to make BGM.bcstm usage hardcoded to OFF if no BGM.bcstm is provided to YATA+. That could fix this bug which afflicted also CHMM.

The theme templates already have the bgm disabled, i'll add a check for the bgm.bcstm file showing a warning.

Also, when you solve those problems about ninjhax2 can you add an ftp server ? so it would be compatible with YATA+'s install theme function, pm me to know how it works precisely

 

[Arseface_TM]

No problems so far. I'm loving the ability to shuffle my themes. I have two themes I made myself and two themes I downloaded working perfectly.

I'll let you know if I encounter any bugs.

 

[BurningDesire]

There should be a option to change the background color (maybe navy blue) the red hurts my eyes.

Heya! Good work on this!

I am having issues with the shuffle feature at the moment, so I thought I'd tell you my process to see if I'm doing something wrong.

1) I have set the shuffle feature in the system to cycle through simple red, blue and black.
2) Load into the HBL; In this case I use oot3Dshax with NEW 10.1.0 EU
3) Load up CHMM2
4) Press X to open the Shuffle System
5) Press A to set index1 to theme1, then press R to select the next index repeat the process to set index 2 and 3 with themes 2 and 3.
6) Press X to install the theme. All other indexes are empty but I have tested otherwise by reusing those 3 themes to fill in the remaining indexes.
7) Press Start to exit CHMM, Reload the 3DS and boom, custom themes are working.

My issue is that after 2 themes (always twice), it will switch off shuffling and go to the default theme. This is silent (there is no "An Error Occurred" notification) and I cannot figure out why.

Steps I have tried:
- Filling up my system's Theme list before using CHMM2
- Using only 3 themes in my system's Theme list
- Using only 3 themes in CHMM2, leaving the other indexes empty
- Using 3 themes in CHMM2, filling the other indexes with duplicates
