So, I got it to work, turns out if you have the programs the OP states to install, still crashes, but if you are quick enough, you'll be able to write body color, and it will crash after write. So you can re-open the program, and do the button colors, OP if you reading my comment, you should add my reply to the post to help others. And thank you so much for this tool.

and yes, pink is one of my favorite colors, laugh all you want. I'm Male btw

You are Male and pink is one of your favorites colors ....!!!! jajajaja, thanks for giving us the authorization to laugh btw.

Nice little tool!

Small suggestion. The default Color selector in .Net sucks.
Any way to change it to "https://github.com/cyotek/Cyotek.Windows.Forms.ColorPicker" (MIT License)
Shouldn't be hard work by the few sec i had to watch with ilspy

Body color and... Body color?

If I may make a suggestion, maybe use the same - or similar - icon to what the Switch shows so that we can get a better visual for how it will look like once flashed.
That being said, I should get my bluetooth module today so I'll check it out this weekend

Where does one get milky white joycons?

I painted them myself.

ok, there's already customization going strong on virtual controls, but it's cool to know, I mean, it might be useful to know who's who joycon or how old are the ones you have XD

For the Zelda Skin
Gold body: FFD700
Brown buttons: #59260B (Seal Brown, I'm still playing a little but so far it looks the best)
Maybe this shade would be better? http://www.jakee.com/store/fatstrap_swatches/Very-Dark-Brown-Calfskin.jpg
Or #2b1d0e? #180D01?

Can anyone confirm if this works with the pro controller?

Derp
Copy pasted the new logic that produces the hex color for button names..
Next version

I'll consider this because I hate the default ColorDialog..

I don't want to use these, but I want to make the ones right now more minimal so the color changes look better without small white areas.

No, it doesn't for now. I need to figure out why spi reading/writing comes out with different addresses.

Do you still need an SPI dump of the pro controller? I hsve one if you need it.

Why not a simplified drawing? Just draw a rectangle with a border matching the button color, then draw a circle and a square in it.

Preferably have the background of that window match the background used by the Switch.

A good bonus would be to have a picker list of official/popular colors so people can switch or switch back without having to memorize all the hex codes.

it doesn't really matter how photorealisatic the icon is if the colors end up looking janky when viewed on the Switch.

So... is this the first Switch hack?

Technically? It's definitely the first useful hack. Running video though the sign-on browser is more of a kludge than a hack.

New version released!
Check OP for changes.

Who ever had strange crashes, please try the new version.
Pro controller is still untested and I will need an SPI from old version, from new version and from shiny's hid whispering.

@NotPengi:
Please PM it to me.
I think that Pro controller SPI flash structure is different than joy-cons because of different Microcontroller..
Lastly, I was planning to release the source on github since start. But now this will take a while, until I make Pro Controller logic usable and clean the code a LOT!

I too would love to see the source for this. I wouldn't mind taking a crack at a web app for chrome since Web BLE is out of beta. https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/07/interact-with-ble-devices-on-the-web

I think no. I will need someone to test beta builds when I have time though..

Nope, mostly cosmetics modding.
Changing things in SPI can't crash switch. So it can't be utilised easily like that.

@duckfriedrice
If there's an api to access raw hid it's doable. And probably cleaner than windows winforms

Okay, please message me if you wuld like me to beta test, I'd be happy to do so.

I'd love to do this! (Just bear with my looong bugreports. )

Crap... Looks like HID over Web Bluetooth is blacklisted because you could have a website act as a keylogger.

 

[Deleted User]

Neon Pink and Neon Green Joy-Cons exist. Someone who has them, please dump SPI for him.

Have sent these over to him, so may be included in next version.
