Hello! I'm not sure if you've already done so before since I just found your post about them, but would you be willing to share your dsi themes? They look so good! I want to make some as well but still need to figure out how to :[

Sooo I intended to post these on the official page a while ago, but completely forgot about it because I couldn’t figure out how to do the pull requests on the twilight menu github. Thanks for reminding me I still hadn't posted them! Anyway, since I still can’t figure out how to do the pull requests, I’ll share the themes directly on here with a little tutorial:

How to add my custom DSI themes

You can find the folder for each theme here. Simply download the folder of the theme you’d like to install.

As for the installation process, you’ll need to have Twilight Menu on your DSi in order to apply the theme (just in case anyone reading doesn't know how to do it, here’s the guide for DSi modding).

To add the themes, access the contents of your SD card and head to the _nds folder. Once there, you have to access the theme directory for Twilight Menu. This folder is located inside TWiLightMenu > dsimenu. Now, all you have to do is paste the folder for the theme you downloaded inside the “themes” folder. 

After this, you can remove your SD card from your PC and insert it into the DSi to boot into Twilight Menu. To load the theme, all you have to do is go to the settings in Twilight Menu by pressing the SELECT button on your DSi. This will bring you to the DS Lite menu, the settings are located on the DS icon (bottom middle of the screen). Within settings, scroll to the “Custom Theme” option and press A. Here you should see the names of your themes, and to select one simply press A, then exit settings by pressing B twice.

Btw, in case you’re interested on making your own DSi themes, I followed the following tutorials:

This Youtube video gives you the basics on making a theme, which include backgrounds and audio. It's a good rundown and easy to follow if you just want to create those two elements.

This tutorial goes more in depth, showing you how to make not just backgrounds and audio but also custom icons and frames. And a little piece of advice I learned the hard way: to make any type of icons or frames I heavily advise using GIMP over any other image editor, it’s the only one that properly works for this.
