RELEASE [Nintendo Switch] Game Icon Customizer - simplify the method of changing game icons

Thanks to @SodaSoba for testing the tool and for creating over 2500+ custom icons on his Icon Repository; otherwise this tool would have been empty at release time

After creating the Horizontal and Vertical Themes, I started working on a tool that simplifies the method of creating and transferring custom icons

All details are posted on the GitHub page, so please follow the links below:

Note: Sys-Tweak is required in order for custom game icons to work

Hmm never thought of that, but good suggestion.

I will put that request on top of my list... hopefully next week!

 

Like @SodaSoba mentioned, make sure you're switch is ready in Mtp or ftp mode first... Then pick the method and finally click transfer

 

Coding is almost completed... Should have it ready by tomorrow!

I'll also provide a guide on how to work offline (1) how to download Icon database (2) download Title ID database
