Cara Membuat Skin DSi/3DS
Untuk membuat skin TWiLight Menu++, dibutuhkan penyunting gambar yang mampu mengekspor .png, .bmp atau .png 16 BPP, dan .bmp 4 BPP. Diharuskan juga mampu mengatur ulang palet gambar secara manual. Pada panduan ini dianjurkan menggunakan GIMP, karena mampu melakukan semua yang dibutuhkan.
Bagian 1: Mengunduh contoh #
Pertama-tama harus mengunduh contoh skin. Ini berguna sebagai dasar pembuatan skin dengan format yang benar, jadi jika nanti terdapat masalah, dapat dibandingkan dengan berkas contoh ini.
Bagian 2: Menyunting gambar #
Unduh dan pasang GIMP
- Penyunting lain seperti Photoshop boleh digunakan, tapi pada panduan ini akan menggunakan GIMP
Setelah terpasang, buka GIMP, dan pilih Windows -> Dockable Dialogs -> Colormap. Ini akan membuka colormap dialog untuk memudahkan menyunting palet pada gambar.
Sekarang sudah boleh membuka dan menyunting gambar di GIMP lalu lanjut ke bagian di bawah berdasarkan letak foldernya. Mohon diingat TWiLight Menu++ itu pilih-pilih perihal ketepatan format gambar dan itu beragam tergantung letak folder dari gambar, jadi pastikan cara ekspor sesuai bagiannya.
Tekstur latar belakang (folder background) #
Berkas boleh PNG atau BMP yang 16-bit (A1 R5 G5 B5 atau X1 R5 G5 B5).
- Jika berkasnya BMP, dapat diatur ke 16-bit di bawah Advance Options ketika mengekspor. Ini mungkin harus dilakukan setiap kali mengekspor BMP

Tekstur Paletted (folder grf) #
Berkas harus berupa berkas BMP 4 BPP (16 warna).
Untuk mengeditnya di GIMP, pilih image-> <code>Mode -> RGB</code> untuk memberi izin penggantian warna, lalu setelah selesai, pilih Image -> Mode -> Indexed... untuk mengkonversikannya kembali ke paletted. Saat beralih ke indexed, pastikan bahwa optimum palette terceklis dan Maximum number of colors diatur ke 16.
Catatan: Beberapa gambar di tema DSi paletnya dikesampingkan berdasarkan warna profil pengguna. Jika mengedit warna-warna tersebut, pastikan bahwa pengaturan UserPalette di theme.ini diatur ke 0.
Setelah mengkonversikannya ke indexed, ke colormap dialog dan pastikan warna transparan (#FF00FF) berada pada color #0 di colormap. Jika bukan, pencet kanan pada colormap dan pilih Rearrange Colormap... lalu pindahkan warna lejas ke warna pertama di colormap lalu tekan OK.
Jika terdapat kurang dari 16 warna pada colormap mu, tekan tombol + di bawah dialog colormap sampai kamu mempunyai 16 warna.
Ketika mengekspor, direkomendasikan untuk mencentang Do not write color space information pada box di bawah Compatibility Options.

Macro Mode options #
You may add specific override options to theme.ini for use in Macro Mode. To do this, add [MACRO] to a blank line at the bottom of the configuration file, then add any specified configurations below it.
Custom background music and sound effects #
The DSi and 3DS themes also support custom music. See DSi/3DS skins - Custom SFX for more details.
Custom fonts #
You may put Custom Fonts in the font folder for use in the skin. You can also add override fonts for the date & time using date_time.nftr, and the console username with username.nftr.
Part 3: Adding to TWiLight Menu++ #
Once you’ve edited some graphics and would like to test your skin, simply copy your skin folder (the folder containing the background, battery, etc folders) to sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/3dsmenu/themes/ or sd:/_nds/TWiLightMenu/dsimenu/themes/ for 3DS and DSi theme skins respectively.
Part 4: Sharing your skin #
Once you’ve completed your skin, you can share it with the community by creating a Pull Request adding it to the DS-Homebrew/twlmenu-extras GitHub repository in a .7z file. If you’re unfamiliar with using git you can also simply create an issue on that repository with a zip file of your skin requesting it be added.
