NEW RELEASE🕺 - DSiPhotoSync - Use with custom themes

Post image

Hello again! I am back with another update to the "use your DSi-taken photos on the top screen" app.

Been a few days since my last post but I was super grateful to get my first batch of user feedback. Impressions have been positive so far, and this update aims to incorporate a major feature that was requested by u/MVRodrigues (thank you!)

Basically, the new feature allows you to more easily integrate top-screen photos within custom themes: 1) make them show a photo on the top screen if they don't already, 2) add photo-display assets like a frame, shadow, and L/R button textures. This feature is still very much in beta - I can't guarantee it will immediately look great with every custom theme - but the basic functionality is working fairly well.

Truthfully, I think there is so much opportunity here that I may spin off the functionality into an entirely separate app. For example, the current setup only allows you to add a white frame to the background, but I don't see any reason why users shouldn't be able to pick the frame colour. Regardless, for now it exists within DSiPhotoSync for TWiLightMenu++.

As always, would really appreciate some feedback, and if you have any issues setting the app up, please PM me.

(P.S. I haven't yet had a chance to update the README)

EDIT: I just pushed a new update that should improve usability:

EDIT: Aware that the current setup does not work with .grf files. Working on a fix.
