I just recently got a modded switch and found myself wanting an easy way to use some of the NSO user icons. I tried to somewhat mimic the switches existing UI for changing your icon so it should be familiar and easy to use.

Note: You will have to download the NSO icon elements from the settings menu before they are available. It's ~250MB and takes a few minutes to extract everything so please be patient while it works.

How to Use
  • Place the nso-icon-tool.nro files into the "/switch/" folder on your SD card.
  • Launch the app from your homebrew menu.
Features
  • Create and apply custom user icons using NSO icon elements (frames, characters, and backgrounds
  • Use custom images as your user icon
  • Update the NSO icon element cache (contains all the frames/character/background) when new changes are available

Super special thanks to https://github.com/henry-debruin/nso-icons for putting all the NSO icons together in one place.

Also, thanks to anyone who tries it out! If you have any issues/bugs please make a github issue. This is my first time making something for the switch so any help finding bugs is greatly appreciated.
