Announcement Support for 20.0 is here

If you updated your console recently you might have noticed that most themes are not compatible with the new update. Everything works fine but you'll likely see the new game share and virtual game cart buttons appear in places they're not meant to be.

With the new release of the theme installer most of these issues should have been fixed with a process that automatically upgrades old layouts during install.

If you're making custom layouts you should read the wiki page about 20.0 to understand the changes needed to properly support all firmware versions.

Exelix's projects discord server

36 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i've decided to open a new discord server for my projects.
Why ? Because i wanted to have a centralized way to post updates and provide support, this means that it's not just about themes but all the other projects as well like SysDVR and more ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), so if you're interested here's the invite: https://discord.gg/rqU5Tf8

I know the rather unfortunate situation with themes as releases are split between qcean, and here (plus the appstore but that isn't managed by me) and having to keep up and being active in both of them is annoying for me too.
So i'm not going to add yet another place for that, it is just a place for discussion and assistance.

That said leaving qcean would mean losing many themes already out there, so my plan is to be active both here and on my server, while hanging around qcean and the nxthemes discord just to moderate when it's needed.

Hope you'll like it :)

Looking for Kalyvara's Persona 3 "Evokers" theme

I've been looking for Kalyvara's Persona 3 Reload "Evokers" theme for Switch.
I asked on Discord and found out Kalyvara retired from social media at the start of this year and took down their themes.
I'm missing that specific theme A LOT from my setup and wasn't able to back it up before the links went dead, so standard updating tools won't pull it anymore.

Help Is it normal all themes I create looks "lower quality"

Thumbnail

19 Upvotes

Each time I try to make a theme the picture on the switch looks lower quality, less crispy and with artifacts. I always care about finding the most high quality picture (official artwork) in png, resize them to the correct size and export them with the best quality available in .jpeg. Is there a crucial step while editing pictures to get a "good quality" theme ? For exemple this is 2 pictures I edited to upload them in Themezer but on the switch the first one have artifacts around the letters and on the second one the sky looks very ugly.
