HOW TO CREATE A THEME

A theme is composed by several files:
body_LZ.bin - Contains background images and some theme settings.
BGM.bcstm - Contains theme BGM sound.
Preview.png/.jpg/.bmp - Screenshot used by CHMM2 for preview system.
BGM.ogg - Contains theme BGM preview sound, used by CHMM2 for preview system.
info.smdh - Contains icon, author, description and title of the theme.

- To create first three files i recommend to use YATA+ ( http://gbatemp.net/threads/release-yet-another-theme-application-plus-yata-3ds-theme-editor.393355/ )
- To create BGM.ogg file i recommend to use Audacity ( http://audacityteam.org )
- To create info.smdh file i recommend to use SMDH Creator ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/release-the-smdh-creator-make-your-own-icon-pack.396765/ )
