How to Create a Custom YSMenu Theme

Introduction

In this guide, I show you how to create your very own YSMenu theme using SignaPic YasUI.

Installation

There are 2 versions of SignaPic YasUI. Both have identical features. The Minified version (922 KB) could be useful for slow connections, but Anti-virus software often misunderstands it as a virus (false-positive).

Pro Tip: Using the Photoshop Template

To make designing easier, I created a Photoshop (.psd) template that is perfectly sized for the DSi/R4 aspect ratios. This ensures your background images fit perfectly without distortion.

Basic Tutorial

Troubleshooting: Color Bugs

SignaPic YasUI has a known bug related to certain colors in the `YSMenu.ini` file. To fix this, use the Color Converter tool below to convert HTML color codes into BIT15 format.

Tips

Using SignaPic YasUI Libs

You can click 'YASUI LIBS' in the app to search for themes. Double-click an item to preview, or click 'USE' to apply it immediately.
