You may put [Custom Fonts](custom-fonts) in the `font` folder for use in the skin.

You can also add override fonts for the date & time using `date_time.nftr`, and the console username with `username.nftr`.
## Custom palettes
For the paletted textures (`grf` folder), you can optionally add override palette sets which are used when the corresponding `UserPalette` setting is enabled. Palette set files can be created using [this editor](https://skinpaltool.dvdo.dev/). When using the editor, import the image you would like to work with, then create a palette for each of the 16 DS Profile colors. You can use this [example palette file](/assets/files/example-palette.bin) as a starting point.
The 16 rows of the palette collection correspond to each profile color and should be in the following order:
1. Gray-Blue
2. Brown
3. Red
4. Pink
5. Orange
6. Yellow
7. Lime Green
8. Green
9. Dark Green
10. Turquoise
11. Cyan/Light Blue
12. Blue
13. Dark Blue/Indigo
14. Violet/Dark Purple
15. Purple
16. Magenta
Once you've created a palette file, place it in the `palettes` folder. The name of the palette file should match the name of its image but with a `.bin` extension instead (ex. `start_border.bin` will be applied to `start_border.bmp`).
You may also put a `username.bin` palette file to change the palettes of the username font. Make sure to set the palette editor to `Font Mode` when creating this file.
