VitaShell is an alternative replacement of the PS Vita's LiveArea. It offers you a file manager, package installer, built-in FTP and much more. This homebrew was an entry of the Revitalize PS Vita homebrew competition and won the first prize. HENkaku's molecularShell is also based on VitaShell.

Theme setting: VitaShell will load the theme that is set in 'ux0:VitaShell/theme/theme.txt' (THEME_NAME = "YOUR_THEME_NAME")
General info: You don't need to have all these files in your custom theme, if one of them is missing, the default image file will be loaded instead.
Wallpapers info: Wallpapers overlay background images. You can have ten wallpapers which VitaShell will display at random interval. If no wallpaper is available, BACKGROUND_COLOR from 'colors.txt' will be used.
Dialog and context image: If these files are not available, the colors DIALOG_BG_COLOR and CONTEXT_MENU_COLOR from 'colors.txt' will be used instead.
The standard VitaShell theme is provided in 'VitaShellCustomization.rar' and available in the 'release' section.
Put your language file at 'ux0:VitaShell/language/x.txt', where the file must be UTF-8 encoded and 'x' is one of the language listed below:
- japanese
- english_us
- french
- spanish
- german
- italian
- dutch
- portuguese
- russian
- korean
- chinese_t
- chinese_s
- finnish
- swedish
- danish

VitaShell does automatically load the language that matches to the current system language. If your system language is for example french, it will load from 'ux0:VitaShell/language/french.txt'.
The english language file is provided in 'VitaShellCustomization.rar' and available in the 'release' section.
