nso-icon-tool is an easy way to use NSO user icons/avatars on your switch.
Note: You will have to download the NSO icon elements from the settings menu before they are available. It's ~250MB and takes a few minutes to extract everything so please be patient while it works.
Features
- Create and apply custom user icons using NSO icon elements (frames, characters, and backgrounds.
- Use custom images as your user icon.
- Update the NSO icon element cache (contains all the frames/character/background) when new changes are available.
How to Use
- Place the nso-icon-tool.nro files into the "/switch/" folder on your SD card.
- Launch the app from your homebrew menu.
NSO Icons
Important
You must download the NSO Icon Cache from the settings page before they will be available. They aren't shipped with the application.
- NSO Icon components are (usually) split into 3 parts: a frame, a character, and a background. Use the related button from the main page to browse the available icon parts (e.g.
Select Framelets your browse available frames). - Once you've created the icon, use
Apply to Userand it will be automatically applied to the selected user. This change won't be immediately visible everywhere on the switch; just how it works.
NSO Icon Cache
- The icon cache contains all the NSO icon components. It must be downloaded in settings before they are available. This can take awhile the first time so be patient.
- You can check for updates to the icon cache from settings. If new icons are available, you can downloaded the new cache and update your local copy if desired.
- The cache is kept in
sdmc:/avatars/nso-icons-main. - For speed, existing files aren't overwritten when updating the cache. If you have an issue, you can use
Overwrite Existing Files During Updatein settings to toggle this behavior. - Icon cache location: https://github.com/henry-debruin/nso-icons
Custom Images
- Place any custom images (PNG or JPG) into
sdmc:/avatars/so they will be found. Sizing your images to 256x256 would be best, but incorrectly sized images will be resized automatically. This will likely not work well if the image width/height aren't equal. - Select
Custom Imageson the main screen in order to use your images.
