I'm thinking the easier way to implement this for now is to download a zipped file which gets extracted into launch directory
later we can have theme selection from list but that would be more complicated

Here it's I upload the themes I created adding the purple bar, aspect ratio is correct.
Also add some templates for the bar position, GCN logo, and GCN text logo so others users can play with it, all in png format.

I can test others themes to add to the collection, just indicate me the files

The Download Themes option sure is awesome!

you should be using either GC or BT controllers, try hid and you'll see it

I'm using HID enabled for GCN adapter on Wii U, and I don't get any message

Hamster feel free to use my images if you wish to make them into themes too.

Just picked the ones in which you can put a progress bar and looks harmonious, point me your background, just the background in 640x480 png format, don't insert any progress bar.

So far i got these

Im sure you can remove the bars.

Here you go: rev248-mod-Online-Themes-Download
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsyxtw0j3z0c48c/boot.dol?dl=0
What happens is that a zip file "themes.zip" gets downloaded and extracted into the loader's directory
currently I have 1 Dark, 1 Light and 1 Bars png just for testing purposes
Light will be used as the default on next launch

Now that it worked after several trials I can either make a sub-menu for best themes or add just 3 (one for each type)

What I plan to do mainly is to delete ninback-pngs before downloading a new one to launch directory in order to use this specific png
If I find too many beautiful submissions then a download themes submenu is necessary

ideas?

ok last thing for today:

The Theme Pack will not change themes, it will just extract themes.zip into "apps/nintendont/themes" folder (we can have as many as we want here)
Downloading Light/Dark or Bars will install the selected theme and delete the 2 others
please help me find the top 3 (1 of each type) to always have them here
Tomorrow I'll make nintendont updates my mastermod internally instead of downloading the official one

download the new mod: http://copy.com/vRN3HgFVyk9u7YuB/Public/boot.dol

Wow abz! this is a nice little feature you implemented here

 

[AbdallahTerro]

Working to add these for the moment if there is room:

 

[AbdallahTerro]

I need testers please for this

or internally if you have my previous dol

Themes will have a new page in the end. this is just temporary

Hey Abz! So using your test dol is updatable internally like the official version ?

All the files in the pack are the same as the ones listed, I made the pack in case users want to change themes offline or as a backup since existing png files are deleted when themes are updated online.
To do it manually then, delete the pngs in nintendont launch folder and extract the one you wish to use (all the files in the pack are zipped)
This is done automatically when you install themes online so you don't care about deleting and renaming
For wiiload you need to have wiiload.exe in your path and execute wiiload with ip argument (check wiiload help)

I forgot this one, is one of my personal favorites (background submitted by Drak0rex)

the list is dynamic I'll change many later

yes from now on you can update my mods internally
