The first custom theme has been released by the Qcean Switch team. It is called "Winter Odyssey" and can be seen above.

• All elements on the home screen can be recoloured.
• Themes are stable (they won't cause the Switch to crash).
• Image themes are possible (as can be seen with Winter Odyssey).
  
• Themes don't work on SX OS just yet.

Can we make our own?
A home menu editor is on its way, so you'll be able to create your own very shortly.


Where can we get them?
Themes aren't yet legal to distribute on GBAtemp but this is being worked on. For the moment, you can get Winter Odyssey from Qcean's discord server (which we can't link here), as well as others when they are released.

Official discussion thread is here.

just curious why themes are not allowed? does it contain copyrighted content?

 

[Reploid]

Themes are illegal you know

Because they're currently made using the switch SDK, which is very much illegal to use for this sort of thing, let alone have access to without being an official developer.


This is pretty cool looking. It says you can edit anything, does that mean the title text? In the image provided I'm talking about where it says "Super Mario Odyssey." Light blue on blue not so nice, otherwise cool and good to see you got background images working.

This is awesome! Finally!

 

[Windaga]

I don't understand why Nintendo won't let us do this.... Just let us use our own screen shots, damnit.

This is super cool. The only thing I've seen so far that would make me want to hack my Switch.

Still surprised custom themes haven’t been made officially available on the switch and new 2/3ds. Sony allows it on the ps3/4/p. Nintendo must be blind to not see how popular they are!

 

[dAVID_]

Ok, this is epic.

Incoming hentai tittie themes when the creator is published. Nice work on this

My Man you know whats up!

This is incorrect, no themes are made with the SDK.

Great Work Guys!
Hope there will be an option for some Background music in the future

 

[Xandrid]

Really Nintendo? Really? Is it so hard for you to give us stuff like this? Altho I have no idea what the process of doing stuff like this is, but they knew we wanted this from the beginning

 

[nWo]

Can`t wait to make my own themes!! Great work!!! I have always wanted something like this, the default themes are so lame and boring. Hope the tool to create is released soon!!

That's a parody of TX made by jjbredesen. They're so predictable and formulaic that it's easy to make a convincing GaryOPA / TX post.
