  • Also added 360ad’s new Switch theme for Pico-Launcher.

[4/14/2026]

  • Pico-Launcher support has been added. Currently, themes from authors A-D have been added. Themes with multiple layout variants are hosted under one theme tile, with multiple downloads available. More Pico-Launcher themes will be added soon in the next update.
  • More Moonshell 2, AKMenu, and YSMenu themes will still be uploaded in the future, once I am done going through the current batch of Pico-Launcher themes that are available.

[3/15/2026]

  • Moonshell 2 themes I have collected so far from various sources have been imported into the website. There may be a few more Moonshell 2 themes I will add later on from a MS2 theme archive I found as well. Unfortunately, there are not nearly as many themes available for MS2 as popular flashcart kernels like AKMenu or YSMenu.
  • Pico-Launcher theme support is planned. Look out for a Pico-Launcher themes tile in the future!

[11/12/2025]

  • Initial Moonshell 2 support has been added. Currently, only the best Moonshell 2 theme, MikuShell, is hosted to start. However, more Moonshell 2 themes will be added soon.

[10/30/2025]

  • YSMenu themes from NDSThemes.com with author usernames Q-Z have been processed and uploaded. This wraps up the collection of YSMenu themes from NDSThemes.com, at least the ones that are recoverable from Internet Archive. I will continue to update the repo with other YSMenu themes if I come across them on other sources.
  • Going forward, Moonshell 2 theme support is planned, and more AKMenu themes will be uploaded, as there is still a large backlog of those waiting to be processed.

[10/29/2025]

  • YSMenu themes from NDSThemes.com with author usernames G-P have been processed and uploaded.
  • Website dark mode has been updated to fix color inconsistencies when the site defaults to dark theme rather than being manually selected.

[10/3/2025]

  • YSMenu themes from NDSThemes.com are now being uploaded to the repository. Currently, themes from authors with usernames A-F have been processed and uploaded.
  • The menu select tiles above have been updated to be dynamic, and will now resize and recolor text to properly support both white and dark theme users.
  • More AKMenu themes will be tagged and uploaded in the future as well, once I am finished working through the YSMenu theme backlog.

[6/11/2025]

[2/19/2025]

  • Initial YSMenu support has been added, and the YSMenu page now hosts the stock themes YSMenu ships with. More themes will be added soon!
  • Some more AKMenu themes have been tagged and had authors updated. Not all of them are tagged just yet.
  • Help is appreciated! If you would like to add a theme to the website, please fork the repo and create a pull request. Theme screenshots are captured by emulating an R4 with melonDS 1.0-RC.

[1/21/2025]

  • Currently, the site only hosts WoodR4 themes, YSMenu themes will be added soon. R4iMenu support is planned.
  • Not all themes are properly tagged if they were added recently. Themes with “Unknown” authors are untagged. I work on tagging them when I have time.
  • Themes that have no author listed are themes that I have tagged, but don’t know who made them. If you know or are the author of such a theme, please contact me by email: sanras[at]flashcarts(dot)net
