Are you tired of the boring, plain white theme on your Wii Menu, and want a cool theme instead? This tutorial will help you get a new theme for your Wii Menu!
|
|
|
|
In the case of a brick, [installing Priiloader is a must.](/priiloader) Also, install BootMii (as Boot2 if you have an early Wii). You should be fine if you do this tutorial correctly though.

|
#### Instructions
|
|
|
|
##### Section I - Finding a Theme
|
|
|
|
1. Peruse the GBAtemp post, finding a theme you want to install. Some have YouTube videos to show what the theme looks like, unfortunately some of them are unavailable.
|
|
1. Once you found one you like, click the download link corresponding to your Wii Menu version. **It is very important to pick the right one to avoid bricks.**
|
|
1. You probably will pick the download link that says 4.X, that means the theme will work on version 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the Wii Menu.
|
|
1. Some themes have different links for different regions, so please pick the one corresponding to your Wii's region.
|
|
1. Once you downloaded the theme you want and double-checked you got the right one, open up ThemeMii Mod.
|
|
|
|
##### Section II - Building the Theme
|
|
|
|
1. A dialog box will pop up telling you to only install themes if you have brick protection. If you installed Priiloader and/or BootMii (see the warning at the start of this guide), press OK.
|
|
1. Go to `Tools` > `Download Base App` > Version of the Wii Menu you have installed > Region of the Wii Menu you have installed.
|
|
|
|
1. A dialog box will pop up asking you to enter in a value to create a key. Enter in what it says, it will create a key that will be used to decrypt the Wii Menu from Nintendo's servers.
|
|
1. A file selection box will ask you where to save the .app file (that is the Wii Menu file it downloaded). Save it to the directory where ThemeMii is in. |
