So, this is my first theme. Took me a long time to get over that error message(Had to reduce the BGM filesize to <3.3mb)
I also can't take credit for this entirely cause I just googled these images and found the music via YouTube xD
Enjoy!
PS- It's a Fire Emblem Awakening theme. Static upper and lower screens. 40sec looping BGM.

Why do my folders end up being differently colored in my themes than they are displayed on my computer?

The 3ds swaps the values of the red and blue channels. You need to invert the red and blue values and the 3ds will display them correctly

Wow, never thought about that. Thanks! But it only does this with the folders' images, right?

The upper screen is now far to the right!

But as a heads-up, the music is perfect!

Bleh! YATA keeps saying my top screen image is not a power of 2- (I have it at 412x240) and Idk what to do! ;0;

Made a Matryoshka theme

Background sources: Top, Bottom

EDIT: Made a version with the full song. It'll still start playing at the same spot, but it will continue through the full song and loop back to the skipped intro section. Sample rate dropped from 25200 Hz to 14000 Hz to make this possible, so the audio quality isn't as high but is still decent. Full song version download

EDIT 2: Thought about it a bit and figured some people would want a pure matryoshka theme. Original version of the song used in this one (full thing) and top image swapped for the original assets.

Download vocaloid version

Yeah its just the folders

You need to make the top image canvas size 512x256 even though 412x240 is the correct area size for the image itself, see what I mean? This means that there will be white space (or more of the image) that will go unseen when viewed on the 3DS but YATA expects you to give it 512x256 to work.

I feel like I'm already losing my mind just by looking at this theme.

Nicely done!

Also, I didn't get any replies or requests about my work on a Super Castlevania IV theme but I'm just about finished with it. Another user is helping by fixing the custom sounds for it (he already has most of that done, though) and I'm excited to release it soon! I really hope everyone will check it out and give some feedback.

Did you find out anything about themes with animated top screens?

 

[SomeGamer]

Bleh! YATA keeps saying my top screen image is not a power of 2- (I have it at 412x240) and Idk what to do! ;0;

I'll try to fix it!

I'll try to fix it!

I think I got it, Third time's the charm! http://filetrip.net/dl?aGnHjmrxOj
Edit: Does the 3ds automatically center the image, or does it cut off a certain side?

I did mine too! I'll check out yours! The 3DS displays the image from upper left.

Could someone convert this into a BGM.bcstm? I can't do it for the life of me:

I might as well post this image of the nearly completed theme that I'm doing, but it's just not quite ready yet

EDIT: Bottom bar is actually only fully purple like that for close button but YATA switched it, lol. I now have it full black for bottom screen bottom bar but honestly the purple wasn't so bad looking, I like both. Folders use that purple as their background color.

Here's how your third theme looks on my 3DS:

 

[EthanObi]

Close enough! XD I just need to resize it a bit, thanks!

Is anyone taking requests, or am I forced to make my own?

Is there a specific length or trimmed part of that song you want? It'll be difficult to convert the entire song into a BGM xD Almost impossible.

I think you can make requests here. xD There doesn't seem to be any specific topic, just people posting themes, asking questions/tips, and getting help in general.
