MiniRetroXMB lets you pick colors, choose a wallpaper, preview everything, and save it as a theme, all directly on the Vita. No PC, no FTP, no hassle.
It edits RetroArch's config file at ux0:data/retroarch/retroarch.cfg and sets the wallpaper path and font color values. Themes get saved to ux0:app/RETROVITA/assets/xmb/[your theme name]/.
Writing the config and launching RetroArch takes a moment so give it about 30 seconds when you save a theme.
Features
- Pick an accent color using a color grid (you can also type in a hex code).
- Browse wallpapers from your photo library with thumbnail previews.
- Preview how your theme looks before saving it.
- Save multiple themes with custom names so you can switch between them.
- Apply a theme and launch RetroArch in one button press.
- Manage your saved themes - rename, apply, or delete them.

If RetroArch is not installed the app won't crash, it just won't do anything when you try to launch it.
