If you are on 6.0, you can layer the 5.1 Qlaunch and use the themes as a temporary fix, cuz it kind of removes some 6.0 features that well at least i don't care about..! so yea!

Sounds like a good alternative until there are more themes for 6.0. Do you know what are the missing features that the 6.0 qlaunch have?

So I guess the actual themes can't be posted here. Am I missing something though or is the link to the Discord gone? I've gone over that first post several times and read through the entire thread and I just don't see it or any links to any websites or anything. I particularly really basically need that two row thing (I still don't understand how it is that so much of the software of the Switch is basically the same as that of the 3DS and yet we still can't organize things with folders, more icons on one screen, etc etc? It's just so very basic...)

Am I just somehow missing it multiple times or what? EDIT: I found a link to the discord channel elsewhere. I have to agree with the expressed sentiment earlier that it is getting pretty tiresome having to add on new Discord servers for every single piece of Switch software/modding/whatever though. Especially since even if you mute them someone invariably uses the @everyone tag and Discord apparently ignores your mute setting for that.


BTW, since it came up a few times I really have to ask: why is it that no one can officially share Tinfoil, it has no official release builds, etc etc? It's not Devmenu. That's the whole point. Does it still have illegal code? It was my understanding that it was a totally legal implementation of the actual installer process, but everyone acts like it's illegal, so maybe I'm missing something?

@themes on 6.0:
Someone at discord told me to use the complete qlaunch6 romfs&exefs in your titles and only swap out the common.szs, and this really works for me with sxos2.0 and 6.0 with every theme i tried so far, even with modified menu.szs

anyone know if the 2 row theme works on 6.0.1?
and if yes how do i get it to work?

i tried the simple drag and drop lettered folder name into root/sxos/title. (as sxos cfw is what i use) and no dice there does not theme.

AWESOME WORK!!
I'm a graphic designer so I'd love to play around creating my own themes, especially one for my daughter since she's the one rocking the switch. Looking forward to Christmas!! ;)

I've been reading all posts here, but I want to clarify a few things:

- Is it flawlessly working with the latest firmware (6.0.1) and the latest SXOS build (I just bought my pro, arriving next week)?
- Is there an updated guide indicating which file or code line changes what? It would be nice to know how to change the color to certain things, like "this changes the clock numbers, this changes the icons circle background, this changes this text color, this is for the eshop icon", and so on.

- Something that really grinds my gears is having inconsistent titles text. Like "SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY" or "DRAGON QUEST BUILDERS" and then "Kirby Star Allies" and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe". Is there a way to force all caps or something? Normal text with first letter as capital would work too, but then we'll end up with "Arms" and not "ARMS"...
** Maybe it's possible to change this modifying nsp files, in that case this doesn't belong here lol

NSP file modification would help with your ocd on the inconsistent titles text.
Custom themes do work on 6.0.1 and 6.0.0, they just need to be made for that firmware.
Documentation for color changes no longer exist due to the fact that themes have moved to images.
SX OS now works with themes, yes.
Here's an updated tutorial on how to make and install custom themes: https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-tutorial-switch-theme-injector-easily-make-custom-themes.519036/
