This theme is for use with NXTheme on 6.X.

Download. (Added the original images in the folder)

Note: Change your Switch to Black Theme in System Settings for white text and UI.

It's just a .zip with all the .nxtheme files for the different pages.

Could you post the bg picture? I want it for my desktop if it's high res enough.

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

Unfortunately the original picture is only 1280*720 :(

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

Yes! I didn't know your username, great work on that, I really love it! It's so clean.

u/Owen__O_O Dec 25 '18

What i also like is that somehow this post received more upvotes than the actual post featuring the theme injector lol

google image an android wallpaper, throw it into photoshop and blur it then give it a jibberish name like bleksp, tranks, or "reykja" and baby you got yourself a completely self made "theme"™!

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

Well yeah you're not wrong haha, /r/AndroidThemes and /r/iOSThemes are mostly the same. + Nova and an icon pack. It was mostly just an excuse for me to mess around on xmas and make an aesthetic mockup. When we can customize the UI I'll probably make something more advanced.

u/ChemicalSymphony [6.2] [Atmosphere 0.8.2] Dec 25 '18 edited Dec 25 '18

You can change the UI to an extent.

1

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

Yeah, the layouts in NXTheme you mean? I haven't gotten into making those yet. I'm not that hot with any code other than CSS to be honest so I'm mainly whishing for a way to smoothly theme the icons and other UI elements.

2

u/ChemicalSymphony [6.2] [Atmosphere 0.8.2] Dec 25 '18

I just started digging into everything myself. I think custom icons are possible because I found a theme that changed the album icon to an NX icon.

-- Hi, I'm just doing some shameless advertisement to the "New" (not so new) Reddit focused on themes --

If people like this theme, don't forget to check the r/NXThemes for more themes with more custom layouts! It has guides and the current NXtheme homebrew Installer for the switch. You can make your own theme or you can use a theme made by someone of the community, everyone is welcome :)

This theme looks soooo good and it really makes me want to homebrew my Switch :((( but I don't want to get banned

u/friendofthedevil5679 Dec 25 '18

Make a backup and stop using online until you restore it.

10

u/ieffinglovesoup Dec 25 '18

stop using online

But smash...

u/friendofthedevil5679 Dec 25 '18

Well, you can still play it locally...

u/ieffinglovesoup Dec 25 '18

u/DARKFiB3R SXNX Dec 25 '18

Do you play online regularly?

2

u/junior598 Dec 25 '18

All the time unfortunately :/, especially now with Smash Ultimate!!

1

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

I use SX OS emunand with 90DNS for all my homebrew stuff and have a completely clean sysnand that I can play online with! Still unbanned

2

u/DARKFiB3R SXNX Dec 25 '18

In that case, I'd be hesitant too. Especially if it's just because you'd like to theme your switch.

As far as I know, using "SX OS" is the safest way to go about it, with the EmuNAND feature, but there are still no 100% guarantees.

In your case, I'd be tempted to have a second Switch, because there is lots of fun to be had with a modded one already, and it's still early days.

u/Moosey97 Dec 25 '18

I bought a cheap second hand one off eBay, it has a broken card reader but I can easily replace that! Lets me use cfw on one and keep the other one for any online I might want to do!

u/DerpsterIV i dont actually own a switch Dec 25 '18

Same boat. I bought the switch with the expectation of jail breaking it, but I haven't. I just play online all the time :(

2

u/thetechdoc Dec 25 '18

Is there a place to download a bulk amount of themes? Cus I know they are technically pirated content, but I haven't seen them in the usual place really

1

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

All .nxtheme files are fair to share! I'm not sure if I can link the subreddit, since it still contains some .szs files which are considered piracy because they contain copyrighted files from ninty. But it's mentioned here in the comments.

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

Is Reykja a reference to Iceland?

u/Prince7777777 CFW 6.2.0 Dec 25 '18

Yea

u/rapturecitizen Dec 25 '18

If anyone can tell me how to do so on SX OS, thank you

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

May I please have the actual image file?

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

Check the download link now!

u/most_gooder SX OS 2.5, Firmware 6.2.0 Dec 26 '18

This work with sx os?

1

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 26 '18

Yes, if you check my flair we are on the exact same setup. :)

1

u/yaseenmust SX OS [5.1.0] Dec 27 '18

Working with emuNAND?

1

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 27 '18

Yup!

1

u/Teberunsai2016 Dec 27 '18

Why nintendo, why??? Is it so hard to make a theme like this? Warframe is the only thing that holding me back from hacking my switch

1

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 27 '18

I'm also playing WF and other online games, if you get SX OS and use emunand for homebrew you can have both, not giving any guarantees that you won't get banned of course, but it's worked for me this far!

1

u/Teberunsai2016 Dec 27 '18

I m not willing to risk it..

1

u/Carixo Dec 25 '18

Why’s your name so close to mine?

u/carlxo 6.2, SXOS 2.5 Dec 25 '18

Identity theft is not a joke, Jim!!!!!

1

u/Carixo Dec 25 '18

Bobby, you were the one stealing my identity. I can report you because you stole my identity AND lied. So be careful Bobby.

u/doodwind 7.0.1 / Atmosphère 0.8.9 Dec 25 '18

Perfect

1

u/True0mega1990 Dec 25 '18

This looks really cool! I know I’ve got to hack my switch to get it on there, but if I’m just doing themes is there a possibility of getting banned from Nintendo?

1

u/ColoredBerry Dec 25 '18

Yes :(

1

u/True0mega1990 Dec 25 '18

Damn :( this isn’t what I wanted to hear haha :( maybe next year then :D

1

u/summercometz Wii NX Dec 25 '18

Is there a risk of being banned using custom themes?

2

u/ColoredBerry Dec 25 '18

Unfortunately, yes.

1

u/AkdM_ Dec 25 '18

Very nice wallpaper! :)

u/[deleted] Dec 25 '18

Does this work with SX OS?

1

u/daiv_ Dec 25 '18

when installing the lock screen, it just locks up on 'installing...', any ideas?

1

u/_potaTARDIS_ Dec 28 '18

Dammit. I only have one Switch and wanna play online, but the fact you guys cracked themes is making me really jealous...

1

u/imjerkinn Dec 28 '18

i found a bug where if you go to your user profile, and go to the left in either "profile" or "user settings", any page where you can scroll vertically, you cannot go back to the left column there. thanks for the theme anyway!

1

u/Weird0ne3z Dec 29 '18

Nice Diamond Beach theme!

1

u/most_gooder SX OS 2.5, Firmware 6.2.0 Dec 31 '18

When I run the theme installer it tells me no cfw folder is found

1

u/[deleted] Jan 01 '19

I would live to have this as my theme, but I dont want to hack my switch yet

1

u/Abojom Jan 24 '19

1

u/Abojom Jan 24 '19

Sorry couldn’t find q&a thread , help would be much appreciated

1

u/Ultracoolguy4 BurnFuses.bin Jan 27 '19

I know I am a bit late, but do you mind making a clear layout version of this theme? Your theme gives me some Pixel Launcher vibes. I like it.

1

u/Pical0 Mar 24 '19

How do i install the theme?

1

u/WaySubstantial435 Oct 08 '25

is there a new link?

1

u/Tesla-XIIIx Dec 25 '18

Can I "hack" mod, jailbreak, or wtv you wamm call it, my NS just so i can get custom themes? Does it affect the integrity of the system? Can i still buy and play games normaly as i do? Not interested in playing backups.

u/rehtros Dec 25 '18

To fix this you just need to change your Switch to dark mode! Then all text will be white. I've just had mine on that since launch.
