Set a theme other than the default in the theme manager, go to ninjhax, enable theme caching, and copy the theme from sd card to nand.

i did that but it just goes back to standard after i re-open the lid or use an app

Got it to work, thanks!

Please, don't use enormous pictures to display your themes.
Your 3DS has a screenshot feature!
The Theme manager has a preview features (but without icons)! (don't take your full desktop in screenshot, crop it, look at the first post of this thread for example)

If you really want to use your camera to take your entire 3DS in picture, please resize and crop it to display only the theme at a convenient size (~400*500)
And provide a link in the same post, so users can easily download and install your theme
Use this thread to share them.

Like said, naked pictures are ill-advised.

is it animated, or does the bottom screen just change as you scroll left and right?

 

[DarkFlare69]

do you mean with the moving wave, etc or just without Smea?

I don't know if the moving is possible, but put The Homebrew Launcher on it so it looks just like the wctual Homebrew launcher

Made a theme myself to test the software.
For some reason the folder boards are still red, they were supposed to be blue, anyway.
If anyone knows why that is, tell me.

I don't like it, I love it! Haha! Thanks for making that beautiful theme!

Not a problem. Glad to hear it! There will be plenty of old-school Mario themes coming!

Could someone rip a more generic folder icon? Maybe a red or blue one instead of an almost black folder on a black background?

I'm working on creating a few custom folders. Seems to be fairly simple.

Now how do you convert a BMP to .bin? Pls help. I want to try and make myself a theme.

 

[ludyan]

I've tried changing the "icon borders" to yellow but it didn't work. Does anyone know how to do it properly?

If anyone of you is having trouble making your own theme, here's how.

1. Download the tool here (https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-theme-customization-tools.374206/)
2. Create a new BLANK BMP image with the dimensions 512 x 256 pixels for the top screen.
3. At the coordinates (0, 0) of that new image, insert the picture you want with the dimensions of 400 x 240. This will be the top screen.
4. Create a new BLANK BMP image with the dimensions 1024 x 256 pixels for the bottom screen.
5. Starting at coordinates (0, 0) of that new image, insert the three different images you want to transition on the bottom screen.
6. These three images should be each 320 x 240 pixels, and at coordinates (0, 0), (320, 0), and (640, 0) respectively.
7. Remember that these images will not fill up all of the whitespace within the container BMP images. This is supposed to happen.
8. In the 3DS Theme Editor that you downloaded in step one, import the default theme by pressing File>Open and navigating to data/body_BZ.bin.
9. For slide 0, press File>Import and select the BMP Image you need for the top screen.
10. For slide 1, press File>Import and select the BMP Image you need for the bottom screen.
11. Once you're done importing, press simulator to do a test-run of your theme thus far.
12. If you're happy with your results, press File>Save to save your body_BZ.bin file.
