NOTE : This is not a "Does Everything" program. It does a lot, but you'll still need to use Usagi and LoopingAudioConverter to finish the job.

Over the past couple of days, I've been working on a tool to help me render my HUGE collection of Daily Platdude Pixelart into workable 3DS Themes.
Since it seems to have turned out well enough, I thought it probably a good idea to release it to the community.

How to Use
Step One : Find a nice 16:9 image. 1920x1080 desktops are a dime a dozen.
Preferably, you'd actually try to be artistic and design something yourself, but I called this "Lazy Man's" and I can't go back on that.

Step Two : Run the app, select the image, choose a colourscheme, hit "Ready". Done..
The app will scale the image to fit the screen, and center it, too, so watch out for borders.
It will make use of the colourscheme you selected to set the various available colours around the 3DS theme.
On the Colourscheme selection list, the leftmost is the "average colour" of the entire image, and the next boxes are the most used colours within.

Step Three : Get a working piece of music, bang it through LoopingAudioConverter and stick the results in the outputted theme's directory.

Step Four : Open up Usagi and finish the theme off with a title and whatnot, and any further tweaks you need to do. Don't forget to save, and don't forget to export the Large Icon, too.

Step Five : TEST THE THEME.. So many people try to instantly upload their theme without testing it on the 3DS. *sigh*

Step Six : Upload your theme to ThemePlaza

It's alarmingly easy to use, but keep in mind that I more or less coded this for myself, so ... rough edges, and stuff!

This thing is amazing, thank you so much! I don't mind spending all my time working on making BGM loops if the image stuff can be this easy. Absolute legend.

    I'm late for the bbq sauce discussion and I have opinions
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Sweet Baby Rays is like baseline for a decent/good bbq sauce, but nothing outright incredible

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Stubbs is a pretty damn good sauce that I think you'll find on most grocery shelves as I don't think it's regional
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    This shit though
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Best bbq sauce I've ever bought on a grocery store shelf
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    smokey flavor that reminds me of beef jerkey on top of a really rich kind of bbq sauce. Heat level that is a nice zing, not overwhelming, but it tingles all the way down your throat

    I was like is this the way out, oh probably there's a giant exit sign
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all should have free health, dental, vision care, and make the college kids pay for the schooling, f that college forgiveness plan our govt doing now, its really not fair for all others in the past that had to pay for they're schooling anyways (like me, with 2 kids I paid to send to college in the past)

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

    Howdy @mthrnite , great to see you :D
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    hola mi hermano
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice
  • mthrnite @ mthrnite:
    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US
