Just a very basic edit of switchbrew's simplegfx example.
Place colors.txt and SwitchStrobe.nro to the switch folder on the SD card.
 
Custom colors:
*The file containing the colors has to be named "colors.txt" without the quotes.
*Colors have to be hex values of the form BBGGRR.
*For example, 8807ff would be Blue:136, Green:7, and Red:255. Casing doesn't matter for hex values. One hex value per line.
