I (tried) to recreate Yoshi theme for the 6.2. Im not sure if look similar but works for now.
I REALLY wanted to customize more the kernel, but im just started to know which thing do. (I really wanted the Yoshi custom sound to splash)

I wrote a simple thumbnail generator in Rust, I can't share links yet as this is only my second post, but it's at codeberg dot org slash aplazas slash ezflash-omega-thumbnailer. Build and install it with Cargo, and run it like ezflash-omega-thumbnailer --square --code BMXE mzm.png to get an 80×80 BMXE.bmp thumbnail.

I probably could add some way to give a ROM path and extract the code from it. I probably also should check the code matches ^[0-9A-Z]{4}$, but well, it's already something. Let me know what you think of it!

With the new update for the customizer and the resources from 5.4 uploaded by Frankie, i improved the Yoshi theme!
I added sounds (From SMR And Yoshi´s Island), improved and fixed the boxes of the start/settings/help menus, changed some yoshi related colors for custom, added GBA/Folder sprites (From Super Mario Advance: Super Mario World 2 Yoshi Island) and some things more.
Also, i don´t know if i gonna continue editing this theme, because time and because i want to do a Pokemon Emerald theme. So i incluyed the folder of the proyect and the resources i used if someone want to edit it and improved it.
I wait you enjoy it!

It’s probably possible, but I’m trying to be careful about adding too many options, as I don’t want the kernel to become confusing. Out of curiosity, what’s your main reason for using NOR most of the time? Aside from Mode B, which would bypass the kernel anyway, I’m only seeing about a 1 second boot time difference on my Omega DE. With SD loading, the ‘Boot mode’ option can bypass the boot menu, and combined with the other shortcuts it’s faster to use the SD card in practice.

Version 6.3 has been released!
This update refines the UI on the SD and NOR screens.
More importantly, due to the restructuring of how these screens are drawn, the customiser now supports editing each individual view mode, and allows the users to fully customise the UI elements.
Also, every view mode now shows the current folder in the top bar.
The customiser was also updated to allow the users to edit all of the text within the kernel. It shouldn't be too much work for people to translate the text to their own language, but be careful with what special characters the font supports. You may still need to use the English alphabet.

Yeah. If you download the customiser, it comes with the DS Style Source.
Inside the source folder you'll find a bunch of files filled with code, with ezkernelnew.c being the main one. You can build the kernel by running Build Skin Files.bat in the Grit folder, and then build.bat in the main DS Style Source folder.
Although if you just want to change how it looks, and sounds, it would be much easier to use the customiser program, which I cover in the tutorial video linked on the main post.
You'll need devkitPro to build the kernel, or use the customiser - it's linked on the Customiser download page.

Hello, I'm a gamer from China. First of all, thank you for this excellent customized firmware. I've been using it from version 6.2 to 6.3, and there's been an ongoing issue.Some features in the settings menu don't work properly, such as view mode switching and Addon settings. When I press the A button alone, abnormal noises and key sounds play, and the device freezes completely. I have to power it off and restart it, while the selected functions never take effect.Hope this problem can be fixed in future updates. Keep up the great work!

Hi, thank you for the kind words! And thank you for reporting this.
I have not been able to reproduce this on my Omega Definitive Edition so can I ask you some questions to help narrow down the issue?
Could you please let me know:
1. Are you using the EZ-Flash Omega Definitive Edition, not the older EZ-Flash Omega?
2. Is your Omega DE cartridge a Rev A (says OMEGA DE on the back of the cartridge board) or Rev B cartridge (says EZODE on the back of the cartridge board)
3. Which official firmware/kernel version was installed before DS Style?
4. Can you tell me all of the settings affected by this issue
5. For the view mode setting, if you press Select whilst in the SD Card, does it successfully change the view?
6. If you turn sounds off in DS Style settings, does the freeze still happen?

Thanks for your reply,I've conducted tests as you requested. The device is a backlit modified GBA, and here are the test results:
Are you using the EZ-Flash Omega Definitive Edition, not the older EZ-Flash Omega?
A: Yes. I'm using the Definitive Edition (DE).
Is your Omega DE cartridge a Rev A (says OMEGA DE on the back of the cartridge board) or Rev B cartridge (says EZODE on the back of the cartridge board)?
A: Mine is the first released Rev A version.
Which official firmware/kernel version was installed before DS Style?
A: Before installing DS Style, I was running the latest official firmware, and all functions worked perfectly.
Can you tell me all of the settings affected by this issue?
A: After partial testing, it seems the problem occurs with settings related to the Select button. Cases include: pressing the Select button while browsing the SD card; toggling View mode, Boot engine, Auto Save, Resume last, Boot mode, Mode B, In-game RTC, Enable BIOS, Backup saves and LED setting in Settings; as well as switching sub-options under Addon Setting.
If you turn sounds off in DS Style settings, does the freeze still happen?
A: Following your suggestion, I disabled the sound. The freezing issues are completely resolved now.
