How to Create a Custom YSMenu Theme
Downloads
Overview
Installation:
There are 2 versions of SignaPic YasUI. Both have identical features and the only difference is the size (3498 KB for Normal Ver. and 922 KB for Minified Ver.).
The Minified version could be useful if you download using metered connection, but sometimes, Anti-virus often misunderstands, and detects this version as a virus (false-positive).
Basic tutorial:
Run the application, click "Image > Load" (or CTRL+Shift+O) to open an image and let program slice it for you.
An Adobe Photoshop (.psd) template is included which can allow for more customization. For those who do not have access to Adobe Photoshop, I've also included a template .jpg file.
Choose "Text Color > Automate Color" (or F9) to allow the program detect color for each text.
If you want define your own color of text, click on the respective text to open the color picker.
Insert your Flashcart SD Card, then click "APPLY NOW" and choose "TTMenu" folder.
Everything done, time to test it on your Nintendo DS device.
Troubleshooting:
SignaPic Yas UI has a known bug related to certain colors in the YSMenu.ini file, which can result in issues. To work around this bug, you can utilize the YSMenu.ini Color Converter mentioned above, which can convert HTML color codes into BIT15 format. Allowing you to directly change the color inside of the file.
Tips:
You can save your created theme/skin to a project file by choosing "Project > Save".
You can add your own "signature" too, by double clicking "Yasu Software - YSMenu" text.
Before distributing your own theme/skin, you can use the finalize feature to save your project and it will no longer be editable (make sure to also keep a copy of your project).
Program will notify you if an update is detected.

SignaPic YasUI Libs is a feature in SignaPic YasUI application that allows you to download themes (direct submission server is no longer available). To use:
