Homebrew RELEASE Blawar Tinfoil Themes

[DeuX]

Was bored and decided to do a few custom themes for Blawar tinfoil. I'll probably add few more over time.

Extract them to /Switch/tinfoil/themes, boot tinfoil and select the theme from options.

Enjoy!

Nice Job Man! Thank You!

Do these work with hbg that would be awesome!

 

[pr0dukt]

hbg, is essentially just tinfoil's engine with a shirt on, bruh. so yes, naturally it will work with hbg all the same. I dunno why blawar even separates the two like they aren't the same entity to begin with. Just confuses the more simple folk stumbling about enough as it is..

No, they won't work with HBG because HBG will only connect to its servers if you have a hbg theme on. They have a theme DRM.

But you can use JITS without problems (even though they are down atm)

Yes your right they don’t work I tried one last night. You would think you could easily photoshop the hbg theme and it would work but it doesn’t soon as you change the hbg theme save it and try it won’t connect very clever what they have done

These still work on latest Tinfoil right?

Shouldn’t be any issues. They are just two regular files (by and logo) and a settings.json file. I can’t imagine anything needing to update the json file over the years But easy enough to back out if it does.

 

[Purple_Heart]

any tutorial to make ur own?
an one for making ur own HBMenu theme?

 

[binkinator]

any tutorial to make ur own?

edit: yes, @Hazurio posted all needed information inside his attached graphic here:
https://gbatemp.net/threads/blawar-tinfoil-themes.533692/#post-9056167

his graphic confirms my assumptions below and adds things like mp3 music.

Seems straightforward But haven’t done it yet.
Open one of the .zip files at the top. Right click and select properties on both of the graphics files to get the dimensions and type of graphids asset required. Replace with your own. Modify the colors in the settings.json file and then zip it all back up with winzip.

Spoiler: settings.json example

I believe the colors are rgba so you can try this color picker to select colors for each element you want to change.

an one for making ur own HBMenu theme?

https://github.com/Chardelyce/hbmenuchanger/tree/master/hbmenuchanger/HBThemePAK will walk you through the original way to create hbmenu themes.

According to this you no longer need to create romfs but can simply use zip files.

The name would be PixelShop_NX, but I still don't know how to create themes, error in all my tests.
So what I managed to do was modify this one a little bit, I also added audio...

I pulled the Hollow Knight theme from my switch and posted it in this page

Can someone plz make me a theme for tinfoil using this image and light purple text

 

[TheExpertNoob]

Any information on which elements point to which features in tinfoil for the settings.json? Specifically, how to remove the color, full-screen transparent border with message prompt pop-ups? So far, it seems to only be affected by the first line "color".
Edit: found this in a Theme Discord.
