How to use the new Theme Preview Generator
This script allows you to create various static and animated previews of your theme, at once.
Just run
makeprev.sh or
makeprev.bat and it will create a new folder that contains the new previews, based on the .png files.
If you want to specify the delay between the frames of a generated gif, just add the new delay after the command, e.g., if you want every frame to last 2 seconds, enter:
NOTE: The extension of the files must be lowercase on GNU/Linux, and OS X with case-sensitive FS.
If the PNG files are not available, you can convert BIN (BGR) files to PNG:
How to use the new BIN to PNG converter
This script converts all .bin files of a theme to .png.
Just run
makepng-all.sh or
makepng-all.bat and the files will be converted.
How to use the new Release Packager script for developers
Make sure DevKitPRO and DevKitARM and all other dependencies are installed and configured correctly, then open a terminal and run
release.sh or
release.bat.
A new file, PastaCFW.zip, will be created, that contains PastaCFW with your latest changes, plus all the files needed.
Although it is possible to use this on Windows, it is recommended to use it in GNU/Linux or OS X in order to add the executable bit to pastaConfig and the shell scripts (the same applies to packaging the files manually).
