@diddy81 When you say to put theme.csm in the same folder as wupcient, do you mean the NTSC folder? Are those .py files scripts and I need to download wupclient?
first you need python 2 installed
put wupclient.py and my 2 scripts in the same folder
run the dump
get a theme.mym from my sig
use thememii to make a theme.csm
place theme.csm in the folder with the 3 python scripts

@diddy81 which files would I have to remove from the Dark Red.mym in order to maintain the original Health & Safety image and also keep the original black background image from the Settings (remove the Wii with red lines background)?
Also, what do I have to do to apply the Optional non spinning outline.mym over the Dark Red one?
I already have ThemeMii mod.

@diddy81 It worked, I used your script, the latest wupclient from FIX94, and the dark red NTSC theme. Furthermore, I used Ubuntu to tun ThemeMii Mod and that worked fine. It gave me a message towards the end of the install script that said failed to inject (Or something like that). But when I boot vWii the theme is there.

Overall thanks for your script, and thanks OP for bringing up this subject! Themes on vWii has always been a fable thing.

I already have ThemeMii mod.

to leave the health screen as stock just remove it_Has_a.brlyt and ash/health.ash
because of how the theme is packed removing just the background in the data management section will not be as easy but if you are ok with it just being stock delete ash/setupsel

EDIT removing just the background in the data management section you need to delete the ash/setupbtn.ash
said the wrong one before its been so damn long since i last made themes

to install the non spinning load up the mym in thememii then when it asks for the base app give it your csm

I'm waiting for a complete theme, but this is a really cool achievement!

The DarkWii themes from https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-theme-team-creations.260327/ are working 99%. The only thing that doesn't get themed is the full screen banner of the Disc Channel (the tile view from the menu is themed). diddy81 pretty much said he wasn't going to bother updating the DarkWii themes because few people actually use the Disc Channel.

NVM, I found DarkWii v3 Blue (I believe thats what its called) for 4.0E. It was pre-made into a 00000075.app for 4.0E. I was able to extract the .mym from that 4.0E .app & inject it into my vWii 00000022.app. Works perfectly too ;)

(If anyone would like to do this for a theme they would like to try but cant get a .mym, But only a pre-made .app)

To extract the .mym file from the pre-made .app, I renamed the .app extention to .csm, Used ThemeMii tool's to download the 4.0E base .app (Need's to match the system menu of the pre-made theme/.app), Used ThemeMii's tool's (again) to convert the renamed .csm to .mym, Then continued to inject that .mym file into my 00000022.app. Simples ;)

Here's the .mym for anyone would like to use it. https://mega.nz/#!A4VBDAiR!8HbMqolgcZMgMpmnLDqRL4p5z0gYecfkdVqiKt7HcZs

I know diddy81 has one theme similar to this in his thread (Original DarkWii its called), But it doesn't have the custom Health & Safety screen, & the channels are white, Not Back & Blue.

Was adding it to my post as you replied.

"I know diddy81 has one theme similar to this in his thread (Original DarkWii its called), But it doesn't have the custom Health & Safety screen, & the channels are white, Not Back & Blue."

The theme I used is on that ISO site. Search for "[MF] DarkWii Extended 4.0". You can test both & see that the one I posted has the custom H&S screen & dark channels, But the one you have in your thread (Original DarkWii) doesn't.

Thank you @diddy81 and @BIFFTAZ for your help. :)
Also, for those interested, I deleted every instance of the homeBtn1.ash in the Dark Red.mym to keep the Home Menu buttons like the original Wii.
I'm pretty happy with the result, thanks again, guys!
