GBA DS Style — A Nintendo DS-Inspired Custom Kernel for EZ-Flash Omega & Omega DE

I just had some free time and i updated the Yoshi theme. I added the backgrounds in horizontal/vertical carousel and i changed the selected text color to black.
Yeah, yeah, i know i said i don´t gonna update the theme, but with the new updates for DS Style by Frankie, i was necesary.
Anyway i adjunt the resources for the new version if someone want to keep it updated for the new versions.
(Also, if someone want to design a text box for the theme, could be great!)

On my Omega DE I have a directory at the root called "Virtual Console" where I have the "Game boy", "Game Boy Color" and "Game Gear" directories. I wonder if we could have thumbnails for some specially named directory, to e.g. have the Virtual Console logo for the "Virtual Console" directory, and maybe the same for the console names.

I believe having that would make the DS style kernel blend even more with the late 2000s Nintendo esthetic, what do you think?

That's a nice idea! I'll see what I can do, but no promises as there is a maximum size the kernel can be.

Version 6.6 Released

This update does not change how the kernel looks or behaves by default.

DS Style is now integrated with the Thumbnail Scraper.

You can now easily add artwork for:

Homebrew games
ROM hacks
Folders
Any missing game art

Homebrew games no longer need their header edited to display custom artwork. Which was previously the case for the Omega and Omega DE. Folders and ROM hacks can now have custom art.

Custom artwork is stored in the IMGS/CUSTOM and IMGS2/CUSTOM folders. Name the BMP file exactly after its matching ROM or folder, and DS Style will display it automatically (the scraper tool does all of this for you).

Compatible artwork can be added manually or created easily using DS Style Thumbnail Scraper.

The amount of polish we can gain from this feature, thanks so much!
