ROM Hack Garbled Icon Borders [3ds Theme Editor]

[Immortallix]

In 3DS Theme Editor, whenever I opt for a custom icon border, in the preview it will look fine, but once I put it on my 3ds the icon borders looks garbled & messed up (see attached pic or here). The images I'm using are the correct sizes (if they weren't the program wouldn't take it anyways) & in png format. Whenever I use my own images for every other aspect of the theme creator that allow me to, they all work properly and never have this issue.

You probably weren't expecting this, but I created this account specifically to answer this question, as it plagued me as well.
In the Theme Editor, you will notice a set of icons in the top right corner above the 3DS preview.
One of these icons is a box with a big "L" in it.
Click on it, and pick an image file that is exactly 64x128 (128x64 doesn't work).
In addition, make a copy of the image file and shrink it to 32x64 (It gets used on the box with the big “A” in it.)
I just use MS Paint to make a solid color I like in that image size then put it into the theme maker.
After doing this, the glitchy border will disappear.
I also added an image to show what to click on.

TL;DR: Use 1 image that is 64x128 for the L box and use a 32x64 image for the A box.

Hey there, I actually have the same problem. I added an 64x128 image for the L box, but I wasnt quite sure on the A box. I cant find it. Or do you mean the S button?
