The Joy con tool kit is simple and easy to use, all you need is a Bluetooth adapter and a Windows PC with .net framework v4.5.x and Visual c++ 2015 x86 redist installed. If you don’t have a Bluetooth adapter the program will fail to start and the same goes for .net framework & visual c+ these must be installed first before you run the Joycon tool kit. Also, you’ll need to pair the Joy con’s or pro controller to the PC before you start the program.

Once you have everything installed and the controller’s pair to the PC, it’s time to open up the Joycon tool kit and backup your SPI flash before doing anything else. It may take a little bit and the program might stop responding but don’t worry its still working and doing its thing.

Now that you’re done backing up the SPI file time to change those icon colors to match your controllers or just your favorite colors.

The icon display on the main menu of the Switch in the bottom left-hand corner does not change as that icon is part of the Switch and the joy con tool kit only modifies the icon inside of the controller. So you don’t have to worry about anything as this tool kit does nothing to your Switch and only changes the icon inside of the controller that the Switch reads and displays.
