Hacking HBC theming

When we released the Homebrew Channel 1.0.7, we supplied a new look and the announcement of a surprise. I must apologize for the delay in the revelation of this surprise, which is mostly owed to a complete meltdown of my work machine. Without much further ado, it is my pleasure to give you: Homebrew Channel themes, and a first theme: HBC Classic.

While the reactions to HBC 1.0.7’s new default theme – dubbed “Dark Waters” – were generally positive, some complained about it being too dark, unfitting, or simply “exceedingly ugly.” We’re usually not the makers of elaborate plots (that you know of), but this was actually fully intentional to draw a bit of attention not only to the function but also to the looks of the Homebrew Channel.

awesome!

now we just need a how to on making themes ourselves,or a program that would allow us to pick and chose the images for it and show a preview anyway its abit early for that so we will just have to wait and see

They probably should've added the Dark Waters theme so that you don't have to delete your savegame. I'm sure someone will create it soon.

just create an empty theme to revert to the default one?

It said in the HackMii post roughly how to do it, download some other themes and edit the images in them if you're stuck.
