Makes things much simpler

 

[saidiadude]

Thank you for doing this. Any chance we could make this a stickie?

 

[LowEndGeek]

Added screenshot galleries for gb roms, ics roms and themes.

Prettied it up a little bit

added a couple more general guides

 

[HaTrEd360]

In the very back of the threads pages, there was another theme I used and it was Cyanbread colors for several things. It was nice. It was ONLY for stock gingerbread tho, not Sleipnir. It worked on Harmonia and ZV5 that was it lol.
