Help with Hekate icons

[Sessho0]

Hello again family, I wanted to put custom icons on my switch but I don't know what I did wrong that they came out so ugly, I also tried to put a background and it doesn't load either... I understand that something needs to be changed in the hekate_ipl file, right? This is how I have it, what should I change?


So I have the hekate_ipl config:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
backlight=220
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=1



{Versión del Pack de CFW de Sessho}


{--- Custom Firmware ---}

[Atmosphere (EMUMMC)]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/Atmosphere
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo

{}


{-------- Stock -------}

[Stock]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch

{-------- Tools -------}
[Lockpick RCM]
payload-bootloader/payloads/lockpick_RCM.bin
Icon=bootloader/res/icon_lockpick

 

[jkyoho]

you need to put the logo extension(png, jpg, etc...) at the end of every "Icon=bootloader/res/****.***", assuming the folder location bootloader/res/ is where those 6 icon located.

example

icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp

I have no idea if your icon files are in bmp or what since your picture didn't show

 

[Sessho0]

Yes are in bmp

It just doesn't load anything, not even the background: c I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

 

[jkyoho]

yes, and you don;t need logopath= I believe

 

[Sessho0]

what?

 

[jkyoho]

"The icons supported are 192 x 192 32-bit BMP."

check your bmp files details

I already managed to put the icons, but the background is the only thing that does not load

 

[jkyoho]

what background? How does it look now?
This?
background.bmp in the bootloader/res folder. needs to be 1280x720 32bit ARGB

 

[Sessho0]

This is an example, I am trying to put a background image as seen in this example but the background that I put does not load. I already verified that it is bmp and that it is 1280x720 :T

 

[jkyoho]

upload your background

 

[Sessho0]

The forum won't let me upload it in bmp format, so I'll upload it in jpg

xd

you can get a lot of icons from Releases - Hekate-Icons - Nichole Mattera

use them also as template.

Also remember the name of the icon can modify the way is displayed, by example _hue will treath the icon foreground color as the color you define on NYX and _nobox will remove the box around the icon

Also more information on Hekate page

hey sorry to hijack the post but im trying to customize icons that changes to the theme color according to nyx setting as well but im facing issue as only partial object react to the color change and the remaining object is not appearing. I hope someone who had done it before can kindly guide me.

I created a new image using the Krita photo editor with 190 x 190 pixel, mode RGB(Alpha), 300 resolution and depth 32 bit float channel. I make the background opaque(white or black background) and then using 3D Paint, i ripped the 3 desired objects (the nintendo console, the CFW wording and the SYS CFW wording) from another image.bmp and pasted them onto the new image as a new layer then save it as a .bmp. I apply a nyx theme color but out of the 3 objects, only one of them appear and react to the nyx color theme but the other 2 objects was missing.

I hope someone can tell me was i missing something? I also tried ripping the 3 object as 1 image using 3D Paint and also seperate ripped the 3 objects then paste them under 1 active layer but that wouldnt work as well
