Easy to do. Take the code @TheDeKay wrote and start with the compression then put

Code:

Echo Do your edits now. Press any key to recompress. Pause>nul

Followed by the compression code.
And instead of
for %%F in (%*) do
use
for %%F in (*.bin) do

And remove the
If [%1]==[] goto error
At the beginning.

This will decompress all files in the folder of the batch and then pause and recompress.

Could you make these small edits please? I'm extracting the homemenu CIA for testing

Did you encrypt the CIA afterward?

This little Script is Part1, Part2 and Clean combined.
It also features a copy to SD Card.
To make it work simply change the SDDrive in Uservariables to your Letter.
if you want to use a different name for the cia you can also change it in the uservariables.
Or you can just drag a cia onto the batchfile and it will decrypt this cia instead and rebuild to that name.

Code:

@echo off

For everyone trying to change the color of the internet bar, maybe is stored somwhere else, since Home Menu doesn't exclusively use it, it is used on another apps as well (Download Play, Friend List, System Settings)

Everything that shows in the Homemenu has to be in the Homemenu cia.
The Battery and the Connection Strength are not exclusive to Homemenu either, but we can change it's color.
If I enter eShop they will show blue in the eShop, but the color I changed it to in the Homemenu.
