Menu Files¶
In order to work efficiently, it is important to understand the structure of the Switch's menus and get familiar with the theming slang. This and a few following pages will introduce you to some basics.
The Switch's menus can be found in multiple firmware files. Separated into multiple applets. The following table shows which menus (supported in themes) can be found where:
| Applet CodeName | TitleID | Menus |
|---|---|---|
| qlaunch | 0100000000001000 |
common, Home Menu, Lockscreen, All Apps, News, Settings |
| playerSelect | 0100000000001007 |
Player Select |
| myPage | 0100000000001013 |
User Page |
Almost all menu-related applets also have a common.szs file that defines structures that should be used throughout all menus in the applet. They often contain the bottom bar (controller status, buttons). Custom themes unfortunately only support modifying the common.szs file in the qlaunch applet, and not the ones in playerSelect or myPage.
Filenames¶
Every menu has its own file. Here is a list of the supported menus by the nxtheme format and their filenames:
| Menu | Filename |
|---|---|
| common (qlaunch) | common.szs |
| Home Menu | ResidentMenu.szs |
| Lockscreen | Entrance.szs |
| All Apps | Flaunch.szs |
| News | Notification.szs |
| Settings | Set.szs |
| Player Select | Psl.szs |
| User Page | MyPage.szs |
