Alright, hopefully we found the problem then!
No, I'm on Windows, why'd you asking? : D
It’s a common Mac thing where it sets the archive bit which treats folders as a single “file” archive. Switches hate that.

here’s mine…yours will note that it fixed some things (hopefully)

hi, thanks for replying.

no i haven't update to 16 yet.
i like sys-tweak icons on my theme on 15 now.
so if not working on 16 yet i will not update first.
I’ve not updated my Emunand(s) yet. Still on 15.

Repo updated we are now over 3000 vertical icons.

I might move horizontal/default icons to a separate repo
that would reduce the overall repo size by 182mb & remove 2330 icons

mega backup: https://mega.nz/file/bWx1RSbI#RC3WORpgaqO7haPm7-i6CzK2SwOjGokTcc-lFbmEUL4

some new previews:

Im on Atmos 15 and have sys-tweak correctly set up and icon grabber. Downloaded and applied a 600x900 image but dont see the change. Followed from here https://gbatemp.net/threads/icongrabber-custom-game-icons-theme-teaser.592902/ is there a theme that needs to be installed?

@binkinator
There are "vertical" themes my switch deck theme uses vertical style
https://themezer.net/packs/SwitchDeck-3e9

If you want vertical themes but keep it stock looking I have a vanilla styled theme too

I've also written a huge guide how to install and use everything ; https://sodasoba1.github.io/NSW-Custom-Game-Icons/

Thanks, seem to have it working. Is there a way to have the game spacing like shown in the first post?

Thanks, is it possible to have the game spacing like the 1st post? Is it possiblw to remove the black bar on the bottom so the covers look bigger, again like below?

https://themezer.net/packs/Vertical-OEM-14.0-fix-409 is the theme for 14.0 and above.

If it's not downloading there should be a version on gbatemp;
https://gbatemp.net/download/vertical-oem-14-0-0-groups.37410/

Or I have all my themes on git with all parts extracted so people can edit them:
https://github.com/sodasoba1/nx-vertical-themes

I'm not editing themes anymore.

While changes you want might be possible it took a lot of work making the theme work correctly, fixing allapps for older themes

There are some guides on git

I will see if I can edit it. I only want the home screen with slightly larger portrait than what you have and other theme aspects don't matter.

Hello, can we still request icons?
You can but my GitHub has been flagged (not DMCA related) so the only way I can technically upload is via steamgriddb and you use icongrabber or add them here, until it get resolved.

resolved
