User guide

Custom themes

Option 1:

Download your preferred custom themes from Theme Plaza, or make your own custom theme.
Create a folder called Themes on the root of your SD Card if it does not already exist.
Put the ZIP file, or folder contains your custom theme, to the Themes folder on your SD Card (no need to extract the ZIP file).

Option 2:

Tap the QR Code button on the Touch Screen to open the QR Code scanner.
Go to Theme Plaza, hover over the preview for the theme you want to download.
Position your 3DS camera in front of the QR Code. Re-position it until all of the QR Code is visible on the 3DS's screen.
The theme will begin downloading after the QR Code is scanned.

How to use

Start Themely (it may black screen the first time you start it. If it does, force the 3DS/2DS to shut down by holding the Power Button and try again).

Find the theme you downloaded in the list. If there is only one theme in your Themes folder, there will not be a list.

Choose the theme you want to install.

Once completed you should see the Custom Theme you on your Home Menu.

Create a theme

A theme is composed by several files:

body_LZ.bin - Contains background images and some theme settings.
BGM.bcstm - Contains theme BGM sound.
Preview.png/.jpg/.bmp - Preview screenshot/image.
BGM.ogg - Contains theme BGM preview sound.
info.smdh - Contains icon, author, description and title of the theme.

Recommended tools:

For the theme, you can use Usagi (theme editor), YATA+ (no .smdh) and SMDH Creator (.smdh only).
For the audio, you can use Audacity (music editor) and Looping Audio Converter (converter to .bcstm).
