Homebrew Custom Theme Thread

[plushifoxed]

2 questions

1) I've been using YATA for a while now, but should I change to Usagi?

2) Is it possible to modify an official theme? Not for distribution purposes, I just want to change the SFX

1) It's really a matter of preference. I tried playing with it a little, but my entire workflow is pretty much set up around Yata+ so I've gone back to it for everything except previewing, as Usagi is far superior in that department.
(In specific, not being able to import and export whole palette files like Yata+ can is kind of a dealbreaker for me.)

2) If you get your hands on the body_lz.bin of the official theme (either through an extdata dump or extracting the CIA file), then sure.
But do keep it to yourself, or at least to yourself and "certain sites". If anyone sees that mess on 3DSthem.es, it's gonna be gone in a flash. Just sayin'.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

@Ryumaru Thanks for the awesome Overlord theme! I was thinking do it too!

 

[Ryumaru]

I changed the border color is lighter leaving the most visible icon.

Icons in Editable mode


I also leave late textures I made the themes of Mario Kart 8 and Overlord in editable mode.
Anyone who wants to use or edit textures for use in any project feel free.

>> Tutorials on how to create these textures are here <<​

 

[Ryumaru]

The textures were made based on character clothing D.VA.

Spoiler: Theme BGM

I will still do the textures and maybe reset the colors.​

Is there a way to lower the volume on my theme? It's too loud compared to the SFX

You can use the Amplify tool in Audacity and set it to a negative dB value. (I know it says amplify, but it works in reverse too.)

Thanks, I'll start testing random values

I made a custom 3DS theme on Usagi but I don't understand why it doesn't show up on CHMM2 in preview mode or install properly. I use OoT3DHax to access Homebrew Launcher. Maybe this has something to do with why it won't work?

Use the .cia version to install chmm2 should work.

final problem (hopefully), the YATA+ brstmConv application crashes every time I try to play music or encode on it. Is there a way to fix this or another way to make my bgm?

1. Send Yata in the trash.
   
2. Download Usagi.
3. Then download this program to create the bgm - https://github.com/libertyernie/LoopingAudioConverter/releases/tag/v1.3rc4

Thanks, and dw I already have Usagi, I just didn't know any way to convert music other than YATA

The Yata is full of errors it is not being updated by its creator. The dll plugins are with errors. The format converter is full of errors.
Take a look at the setup manual - http://www.lakora.us/brawl/loopingaudioconverter/
