This article only details how to apply custom themes. If you wish to create one of your own instead, see the theme creation page instead.
Custom themes are a set of graphics and sounds that can be applied to your HOME Menu to give it a bit more personality. They are built on the same framework as the official themes that can be found on Nintendo's theme shop.
Custom themes are available on USA, EUR, and JPN firmwares. They are partially implemented but inaccessible on KOR firmwares, and entirely unimplemented in CHN and TWN firmwares.
Installation
Custom themes can be managed with a homebrew software called Anemone3DS.
