{{hatnote|1=This article only details how to install custom badges with [[3DS:Anemone3DS|Anemone3DS]]. For installation instructions using GTYB, see [[3DS:GYTB|this page]] instead.}} | |||
Custom badges are PNG images that can be attached to folders or placed on the HOME Menu grid, to give it a bit more personality. Badges may also be made into shortcuts for system applications, some of which don't normally have a home icon such as Nintendo Network ID Settings. Custom badges are built on the same framework as the official badges that could be earned through Nintendo Badge Arcade. | Custom badges are PNG images that can be attached to folders or placed on the HOME Menu grid, to give it a bit more personality.

Sets allow badges to be organized into | Sets allow badges to be organized into separate groups. To create a set, first make a new folder within <code>sd:/badges/</code>, with the folder name being the name of your set. Badges placed in a set subfolder will be installed as part of that set. Sets may also be given a set icon by placing a 48x48 pixel PNG into the set's folder with the name <code>_seticon.png</code>; if no <code>_seticon.png</code> exists, the set will be given a default icon of the Homebrew Launcher logo. Badges not placed in a set folder will instead be installed as part of a default set called "Other Badges" with a set icon of the Anemone3DS logo. | ||
