Animated Nintendo Switch custom themes are Awesome!

[@bxjeff]

The skull**** I thought you'd be gone forever 😭😭 Do you have social media or something just in case you vanish again? Twitch? Twitter?

[@SkullatorNZ]

Twitch: www.twitch.tv/SkullatorNZ Twitter: twitter.com/SkullatorNZ AllMyLinks: allmylinks.com/Skullator Social media and other platforms are a great way of keeping connected. Took me a while to determine if it was worth me spending time creating content again, hopefully it works out.

[@bxjeff]

@@SkullatorNZ Ok thanks, I added you on all of them . Best of luck

[@garchompelago]

The Switch has so much potential. -Run gba games -Run nds games -Have animated themes -have bgm on the themes -probably even more But Nintendo be like "nah fuck it!"

[@Bee-cw9ho]

This just boggles my mind, why isn't nintendo doing this?! This seems like such an obvious thing they would do, but years later and we still have no themes

[@MrMario2011]

Excellent video, dude! Every single one of these themes are awesome, I think these will tie in nicely to animated bootup screens as well.

[@SkullatorNZ]

Thanks man. Yeah that would be a great combination!

I hope you will be able to enjoy watching them on KZbin website again :) I am very well thank you, enjoying life, lots of great new music, and loads of good games to enjoy like Fire Emblem on the Switch. I can't complain here. How have you been? Well I hope!

[@SkullatorNZ]

Apologies for being such a slowpoke and not uploading frequently. Not going to lie motivation has been a bit low and time has been spread way too thin. Will get there eventually. Some more theme info: To remove a custom theme, you can either boot to your custom firmware without layered filesystem and use the same NXthemes tool to uninstall it, or you can manually delete the themes folder which lives in SD:\\Titles\0100000000001000 Custom themes can't cause bricks as they are only installed on your SD card, however it's important to know how to remove them as often people will update or change firmware versions and get confused with errors booting up afterwards. It is recommended to uninstall your custom theme before changing firmware. If you're working with .nxtheme files you can usually install them again just fine after CFW & Homebrew is supported on the higher firmware. Note that some features such as custom settings page are only avaiable on firmware 6.X and above. All footage in todays video was captured on my emunand running 8.0.1 firmware.

[@hassanbakkali3785]

This should be called : Animated Icons. What we need is custom themes with music, just like the 3DS ! Also a real animated pics themes could be nice, but i feel the music is the most immersive.

[@GWSNtheworld]

Hassan Bakkali The wii had animated videos and music (sometimes)

[@chocosmoke0208]

I missed you so much :-) Wb brotha

[@EdwardHarrison.]

The same love for PS Vita and same choice preferences for custom theme is why I like this video. Tho I would change try the main screen, its a little cramped small space looking.

[@macbookpro7249]

non-tutorial Switch videos are as helpful as contacting costumer service to retrieve an old suspended account

[@SkullatorNZ]

Perhaps you misunderstood, the yt uploads would be mentioning a tutorial, mentioning what it will allow your switch to do, and there will be links to watch the tutorial on a different platform. Believe me when I say that people have lost their channels to switch tutorials, which is why these adjustments need to be made.

[@Ricardo-pu4fg]

Thank you very much for this great video. As of today 2023, is there any way to make theme images have some kind of animation? Like a live wallpaper? that would be apotheosis

[@tomasalves4676]

In order for me to use these themes I have to mod my switch right? I don't wanna mod it because I don't want my account being banned, but if I don't need to I might just use these themes!

[@SkullatorNZ]

Yeah there's no way to run custom themes without running custom firmware. I've been using a permanently offline emunand since late last year to launch my homebrew, while my internal sysnand stays clean which is where I can play splatoon2 online from. It's the meta.

[@tomasalves4676]

[@ChannelIsNotInUse]

Hi! I just wanted to ask something. I know I need to mod my Switch basically to get custom themes running, but how banworthy are they? Can I still play Splatoon 2 for example after having a custom theme installed?

[@SkullatorNZ]

If you setup emunand then you can run homebrew offline in the emunand state, and still keep the clean sysnand side of the console able to play games online, that's what I've been doing since last year and I've stayed unbanned thanks to it.

[@ChannelIsNotInUse]

@@SkullatorNZ will I then be able to keep custom themes even when online? And can you send me a tutorial link?

[@SkullatorNZ]

Nick hellstern it’s like a dual boot. When you run homebrew you have the custom theme and you’re offline. When you want to play online you don’t have the theme or any homebrew, have to be clean to connect to Nintendo and stay unbanned.

[@ChannelIsNotInUse]

@@SkullatorNZ alright. Thanks for the info my man.

Skull, my man! Are you going to reupload your old videos (ex.vita tutorials)? Or maybe there's a ''special place'';) where I can download them? If I only knew what N is going to do with your old channel, I would download all your videos when I could:)

[@SkullatorNZ]

I've thought about it alot and I'm really uncertain as to what the right choice is regarding uploading old videos on a new channel. One problem is some of the videos could now contain outdated information, so uploading them with a current upload date is a little bit misleading. I uploaded most of the videos which still contain relevant methods and information on my bitchute channel, and I'll also be sure to create some playlists there to make things easier to find: www.bitchute.com/channel/IKb7eXV9IiFm/ I may decide to upload some old videos on youtube soon, but I'm still undecided.

[@tommwaw]

@@SkullatorNZ thanks a lot! It's a shame that bitchute videos is not even 720p, but this is what I was looking for. And about reupload on youtube: If I Was you I would reupload all my stuff to another channel, but with changed titles or something, so it could be shared in right channel (in comments sections / playlists etc;), so your main channel would be "clean". Also I think that N is targeting only most popular videos, with "SXOS", "hack" in the title.
