An application to simplify the method of changing game icons in Atmosphere

With the introduction of Sys-Tweak module in Atmosphere, users can replace the default game icon to another one of their own. The process of changing an icon involved converting an image to specific requirements then transferring the image to the switch in each individual Title ID folder.

NX-GIC simplifies the entire process by automating majority of the steps and can ready an icon on the switch within few mouse clicks.

Note: For Horizontal & Veritcal icons, follow instructions over at NX Custom Game Icons.

• Select from over 1000+ pre-made custom icons from Hotshotz and SodaSoba Icon Repository.
• Or create your own icons for any game or homebrew.
• Auto Match Icons.

• Preview as you add new icons in different theme styles.
• Look up TItle ID or enter your own.
• Transfer all queued icons in a single click via MTP or FTP.
