It allows you to install image files as custom badges to display on your HOME Menu. GYTB only works on system firmwares 9.3 and above. | '''GYTB''' (an acronym for Give You This Budge) is a homebrew app for the 3DS, developed by [https://github.com/MrCheeze/GYTB MrCheeze].

* The custom badge's name is set to whatever the filename of the badge is | |||
* Images larger than 64x64 will be split into separate badges (eg. 128x128 will be split into four badges) | |||
** Badges split in this way will share the same name or app shortcut | |||
* The most badges you can install at a time is 1,000. If you attempt to install more than 1,000 badges, GYTB will crash. | |||
== | ===Shortcuts=== | ||
Custom badges can be made into shortcuts to launch system applications; a list of compatible titles can be found [[3dbrew:Title_list#00040010_-_System_Applications|here]]. To create a badge shortcut, rename the badge so the TIDLow of the system app is between the first and second period of the file name, like so: <code>BadgeName.<TIDLow>.png</code>. For example, a file named <code>settings.00021000.png</code> would create a badge named settings that launches USA System Settings (mset). Badges made into shortcuts will display the banner of the application they launch, rather than being a pin; applications without a banner will display a default banner instead. | |||
