ROM Hack RELEASE [Release/Tutorial] Switch theme injector : Easily make custom themes

[exelix11]

Hi,i try this method
Download the NXthemes installer homebrew (the nro file) and copy it in the switch folder on your sd card.
Then make a folder called themes in the root of the sd card and copy your szs or nxtheme files in there.
Run from your favorite cfw the installer and use it to install your themes.

But my switch crash when i apply the theme,i'm on 6.2 sx os,try with atmosphère too,but not luck

Sounds like either sd corruption or the archive bit issue, check if this soultion works for you.

I'm not really into layout editing but to change the game size you have to edit the base layout and not rdtBase, iirc is called something like rdtGame. About the value error make sure to use the correct format for your pc (like dot instead of comma for decimals).
For other layout stuff ask in the layout editor thread or in qcean on discord, there are people more experienced with layout esiting who can help you

You're using an outdated version of the installer, latest is 1.4. Download it and delete the systemData folder from the themes folder on your sd. It should extract the needed files automatically

It seems that was the problem. Thank you so much

Make sure the folder is actually called "sxos" lowercase and no spaces and that you have latest version of the installer. If it still doesn't work it could be sd corruption.

does the "sxos" folder have to be on the root of the sd card? what if the sd card is corrupted what can I do about it? thanks for your reply

Yes, in the root of sd card.
If the sd is corrupted not sure about what to do, i'd start by copying all the files to a pc to be safe, especially if you have important stuff like a nand backup.
On switch you should always use FAT32 formatted sd cards cause the exfat driver is buggy and it's the one that causes the corruption.

in order to using themes must we use fat32 format?

No but it's recommended, the switch os often corrupts exfat sd cards for some reason, especially when using homebrews.

Hey, I have a problem. I am using the 1.4 installer and I'm on 7.0.1 (atmosphere) but everytime I load NXThemes Installer I get an error: "Lockpick Error: run with debug svc permissions" or something like that. I have everything printed from TSEC to fuses to keys, what is happening?

You have to run it from the album applet, nsp forwarders don't work

Is it possible to make an animated theme like the PS4 Borderlands 3 (pre-order exclusive) theme for switch ?

Animations are being worked on but they're pretty limited by the way the home menu is programmed

I do run it from the album...

Which firmware are you running ?

Tried a bunch of themes with the latest version of NX Themes Installer and while the backgrounds will load, you will not be able to move in the main menu and animations will not work. Everything works as normal on 7.0.1. So themes ARE broken on 8.0.0. both animated and non animated

this happens to me too.

It's known, we have been talking about this on discord. All szs themes are broken on 8.0, nxthemes still work depending on the layout (broken scrolling), nxthemes without layout still work as usual. We're working on a fix.

Awesome then. I really like this tool.
