Themes 01 to 12 are still wip, the files doesn't exist that's why you get -1
"Download nintendont themes pack" downloads 1 file atm for testing purposes

I noticed there are just named 01, 02, 03, etc.
Couldn't it be better just to name them like Carbonix, GC Logo, etc?

that's because I don't have the pngs yet
no one submitted a png for nintendont app background yet and I'm still updating the code to fix "B: Cancel Autoboot" Message in all themes

Why not use some of these? They were created for this very purpose.

So many good backgrounds left by the wayside. Tsk tsk...

Trying it out, there's a couple things I'm noticing. When you download a nintendont theme, and then reboot, it doesn't remember what theme you picked, instead loading the default.

The first time I downloaded a loader theme and booted a game from Wiiflow, it instead loaded my old theme. Now it's loading the default theme.

 

[AbdallahTerro]

who said I finished adding backgrounds?
the fun starts now

I checked it thoroughly! are you using the latest mod?
all themes work after restart!
I'll check again tomorrow

more app themes...

Downloaded it from the OP.

I'm running from a split setup. It seems that the zips are being downloaded to SD: apps/nintendont, and then being extracted to USB: apps/nintendont. Moving them from USB to SD, they work as intended.

Further testing shows that when you have a custom background in place, and then download a different one, the old one gets erased, the new zip gets downloaded to SD and again extracted to USB. So it appears the files are being extracted to where the games are, instead of where the dol was launched from, which is strange because when you download a Nintendont background, it shows up initially. But on reboot, it can't be read.

What's more, it appears that changing themes resets your settings back to default as well.

That is of course, from a split setup


Just doin a little experimenting. Noticing that when you launch Nintendont as an app, the loader background pops up until the text and app background show up. Didn't care for it much, but I went and lightened my loader background a bit and turned it into the app background as well. Now the transition isn't so bad, and it works pretty well.

Spoiler

mm ok thanks for testing,
I believe I never had issues because all my stuff are on SD,
I used the code already there for unzipping controllers maybe that's why the backgrounds are moved to the game partition,
I'll try to fix it soon.

Edit: and about old theme getting deleted when a new one is installed, this is normal and done on purpose, because if you have light dark and bars present the light will always be used,
however ninback.png is not deleted because it's a separate case.
