This release refines the previous theme installer update and finally terminates support for the PC theme injector application.

Theme installer

  • The update detection sysmodule v3 fixes crashes caused by slow SD cards #191 #190. Additionally, it now can automatically backup and restore themes when switching between emummc and sysmmc #186. Enable it from the settings page of the theme installer.
  • Improvements to the image install flow. Since the previous release JPG and PNG files can be installed directly from the themes folder without creating a nxtheme first.
  • Support for installing hekate boot screens, open an image and select "install as boot screen".
  • It is now possible to install only the images or layouts from an nxtheme file, press X when selecting a theme to open the options menu. This also allows extracting the theme image for use as boot screen.
  • We are upgrading the nxtheme format to be a simple zip file instead of a custom archive format, starting from this release nxtheme files are normal .zip archives with a different extension. Old-style nxtheme formats are still supported. Themezer is already updated and will now produce the new nxtheme format automatically.
  • Various UI improvements

Theme injector

Theme injector will not be present in releases anymore and it's considered legacy. Themezer and the standalone Online nxtheme editor are the recommended way of creating themes.

Starting with this release we also provide a self-hostable zip of the theme creator, courtesy of @Migushthe2nd. The source code is available at https://github.com/ThemezerNX/nxtheme-editor/

To replace the the PC side we're also providing a new command line application called NxThemeTool, this allows creating, unpacking and editing nxthemes on a computer as well as support the remote install protocol that was previously part of the theme injector.
