Help with Hekate icons

[Sessho0]

Hello again family, I wanted to put custom icons on my switch but I don't know what I did wrong that they came out so ugly, I also tried to put a background and it doesn't load either... I understand that something needs to be changed in the hekate_ipl file, right? This is how I have it, what should I change?


So I have the hekate_ipl config:

[config]
autoboot=0
autoboot_list=0
bootwait=0
backlight=220
autohosoff=0
autonogc=1
updater2p=1



{Versión del Pack de CFW de Sessho}


{--- Custom Firmware ---}

[Atmosphere (EMUMMC)]
payload=bootloader/payloads/fusee.bin
icon=bootloader/res/Atmosphere
logopath=bootloader/bootlogo

{}


{-------- Stock -------}

[Stock]
fss0=atmosphere/package3
stock=1
emummc_force_disable=1
icon=bootloader/res/icon_switch

{-------- Tools -------}
[Lockpick RCM]
payload-bootloader/payloads/lockpick_RCM.bin
Icon=bootloader/res/icon_lockpick

 

[jkyoho]

you need to put the logo extension(png, jpg, etc...) at the end of every "Icon=bootloader/res/****.***", assuming the folder location bootloader/res/ is where those 6 icon located.

example

icon=bootloader/res/icon_payload.bmp

I have no idea if your icon files are in bmp or what since your picture didn't show

 

[Sessho0]

Yes are in bmp

It just doesn't load anything, not even the background: c I don't know what I'm doing wrong...

 

[jkyoho]

yes, and you don;t need logopath= I believe

 

[Sessho0]

what?

 

[jkyoho]

"The icons supported are 192 x 192 32-bit BMP."

check your bmp files details

I already managed to put the icons, but the background is the only thing that does not load

 

[jkyoho]

what background? How does it look now?
This?
background.bmp in the bootloader/res folder. needs to be 1280x720 32bit ARGB

 

[Sessho0]

This is an example, I am trying to put a background image as seen in this example but the background that I put does not load. I already verified that it is bmp and that it is 1280x720 :T

 

[jkyoho]

upload your background

 

[Sessho0]

The forum won't let me upload it in bmp format, so I'll upload it in jpg

xd

you can get a lot of icons from Releases - Hekate-Icons - Nichole Mattera

use them also as template.

Also remember the name of the icon can modify the way is displayed, by example _hue will treath the icon foreground color as the color you define on NYX and _nobox will remove the box around the icon
