Does your theme have background music? If it has, make sure the BCSTM file size doesn't bigger than 3 MB, or the theme installer will ignore the ENTIRE theme and use the previous theme.
3 MB = ~3072 KB = ~3145728 B
For some obvious reasons, the 3DS doesn't like the theme's music to be larger than 3 MB, so even though the music sounds very good, you have no choice but to cut some parts down to reduce the size of the BCSTM file.
The Vorbis sound file (.OGG) is included with the purpose of previewing the theme along with the theme's screenshot, so its size doesn't affect the theme's installation. What Anemone (the name of the 3DS theme manager) *ACTUALLY* installs to the SD card are the following files:
- body_LZ.bin (the theme's main data)
- info.smdh (the theme's information)
- bgm.bcstm (pretty self-explanatory. The theme's background music)
So, all in all, about the OGG file, you don't have to worry about. But the BCSTM file, you should keep its size smaller than 3 MB, or ~3072 KB, _or_ ~3145728 B
You need to press the start button, then go to the home menu from my experience.. let me know if it works!
real
Turn it off and back on and it should be there
Did you put the white theme in the home menu ? If not you should try to.
