Well, today we have an easy tutorial on how to install NX themes to your Nintendo Switch! NX themes are beautiful layouts that grants the home screen extra squares for games, changes the way icons are situated on the home screen and much more.

This is of course thanks to the Switch homebrew community that have brought us these beautiful layouts! So Let’s get started shall we!

• 4. TegraRCMgui or a dongle to get into hekate.
• 5. NX themes
