I see awesome and amazing looking themes on the custom themes manager but I want something more personal for my system... when I asked in the henkaku discord they just said to take someone elses theme and just override images but that doesn't change what the theme.xml is loading into the theme or does it make it look like when im applying my own theme when its literally under some unrelated images under some other creators name... I know these are probably pet peeves to you and don't matter but I want my themes to look personally atoned to me no matter if its in the menu or the settings tab. and theres apparently now equilvalent to the howling theme creator that the 3ds has for the vita.... so its pretty much just image files and an xml file I don't get lol so a way to make my own custom theme and not modify an existing theme would be nice..

Is their a good theme engine or is it still the bubble editor? Last I knew that was it, but why even use that awful bubble system and not just use a launcher? (vita-launcher, hexflow)

Only thread I can find on the topic and everyone decides to tell you to manually edit XML documents. Great. Super helpful. Is there REALLY no other way than finding out how XML works? NOTHING?

No lol I actively am wanting to do this but finding everything manually is a thing nobody wants to do and why we don't have themes like the .ctf themes for the psp!

Actually I DID find a piece of software not long after posting that comment that seems to work super well! Few minor issues but nothing that stopped me from making my own theme. GBAtemp's spam filter isn't letting me post links since I never use this account, so just know it's the github subpage /KuromeSan/Sony-ThemeTool.

I'd tell you how to make your own music, but again, filter, and plus it's not TOO hard to find out how to do with some Googling. Happy theme-ing!
