I did not test cause my switch is on 5.1, it would be great if you could try it (keep in mind you need to use a common.szs from 4.1's home menu romfs)


Home menu is a system application, their layeredFS implementation doesn't support that, it's said here as well : https://gbatemp.net/threads/custom-home-menu-themes-and-edits.518446/

Actually it seems that thread was outdated, sx tools 2 supports custom themes, i don't know how tho, i think you should use this path SdCard:\sxos\titles\0100000000001000\romfs\lyt\common.szs but i'm not sure

That's not ready yet, we managed to manually move the buttons and change their image and are working on a tool to make this easier.

Can anyone link me to what these themes actually look like? I'm very interested to see this! I remember Custom theming on the Wii, since then I haven't seen anything, even on the WiiU!

Great thread/tut! Can't wait, till we're able to move the icons & stuff around too! Like shown in the one thread discussing custom themes & such.

Well given that Custom Themes use layered fs wouldn't Nintendo automatically be able to detect them (online or offline through logs) and ban accordingly? Unless I missed new developments between when it was first introduced where people were being banned for playing backups through it and now.

I think a lot of us just don't care about bans anymore.

I haven't seen any report of people being banned just with layered fs, crash reports due to layered fs are confirmed to cause bans tho. Now there is a patch that blocks crash reports from being stored (before you had to delete them but that left some incosistency in the logs). Anyway homebrews are clearly against the tos so when you do this stuff you know that there is always a chance of ban.

 

[tomasadam3]

So in theory, one could use layered fs solely for custom themes (or mods) and if your switch does crash (due to themes not being fully implemented) there won't be any crash reports for the big N to see?

Oh hey, I used to watch your videos. I'll show you a picture of the most advanced theme, and then I'll show you a picture of a few others.

Wii theme by CraftyBoss ^

Bayonetta theme by WuskyDingo ^

There's also small stuff like this:

Yes, no crash reports, but again

So the answer is: we don't know if custom themes can get you banned.

All we need now is to learn how to add/remove icons & stuff like that.

Go to the Discord linked in the original post of this thread. (once I say this the link will be taken down by temp mods btw.)

Oh no way! Small world. The next video is actually finished. I need to render and upload it and we're good!

But man they look great! Thanks for that. I love these kinds of communities!

Already done.

I meant that is released to the public. This thread & the other major one, didn't explain how to do those only show that it can be done. Unless i missed something :o

 

[mesakagi]
