Its looking good thank you, hmm wonder why the bottons are blue (on folder icon)

He didn't swap the red/blue channel values

No but I haven't been able to find separately with the proper .DLLs

You can find it on "that other site not allowed to name" in Other Nintendo 3DS Downloads section. Once it's approved that is. I don't have 50 posts yet to remove that annoying "mod has to approve post" thing yet.
Edit: It's approved now, you can find at that place and section above. ^^^

That's a pretty simple error really, you image isn't to the power of 2. eg: 1024 x 256, is divisible by 2, if it isn't divisible by 2 either in width or height you will get that error.

Image size is different for each screen and type of scrolling. For a still top image the image is like 512x something (don't remember off hand) but it only shows 412x240. So you have whit space to the right and bottom of the image.

Edit. Yata+ has all the image size requirements.

Ohhh got it now. And since this methid (via home brew channel) requires a premium theme to be installed, if I install this theme, it doesnt remove the sound of the already installed premium theme, how can I do this?

You don't need a premium theme anymore. You can set default or a color. If a theme has bgm it will replace what, if anything, is there.

Not really sure what you mean. Could you explain?

I'm using gimp, pretty much i've only grasped the very basics like scaling the images down, guides, ect. Pretty much making the images fit.
Folders show up normally on the computer, when installed on the 3ds the buttons change from red to blue though.

Edit: Think I found my answer.

That's because the red and blue channels are swapped on the 3ds, so instead of RGB like we're probably used to, it's BGR instead on 3ds.
Although i thought that was something that was fixed in yata or something and we didn't have to manually do it anymore, or I'm just remembering wrong.

Click the foreground color on your tool window. It will bring up the color picker. To the right you will see number next to red, green, blue. Also hue and two others but you don't need those. If you sample the color of the folder button then swap the numbers for blue and red. This is the color those buttons need to be to display corectly. They will look blue on your computer.

I am using CHMM, and they only show when i have a premium theme selected.

Latest version?

So far i'm getting this:

The change in button color may have to do with one of the color settings in the theme(?) IDK
Not sure why the bottom image flipped out. -_-

Edit: NEVERMIND! Had flipbook checked for bottom screen..
Edit(Again): Fixed bottom screen:

You should use the newest version of YATA+. It auto-swaps the red and blue channels.

Haven't touched the borders yet. So far i've done a shitty job making my own, but i'll give it a shot. The above is the body_LZ for what's pictured.

Good to know.
Got my answer hint from @WeedZ1985 & https://gbatemp.net/threads/release...a-3ds-theme-editor.393355/page-4#post-5591066

Alright, good to know. I'm using Yata+ atm

Hey.. What do you know.. Another EDIT!:
Idk if i'm going to attempt the border icon, since i'm pretty clueless with that. >_>

Option: Enable use of BGM under Theme Settings, I assume this is the option he spoke of.

THis is beautiful ! THank you !!!!!!

 

[usernametaken]

No problem, sorry I don't know what i'm doing in regards to the borders though!

Ok, Yata+ 1.1 is 10x better than the previous.
I wasn't prepared for my Isaac theme to automatically load & play this though..

That's to enable the use of background music. Not the same as color channels.

CHMM gives me an error if I have any theme selected at all. I have to set it to use no theme.
