can't be done unless you just apply a wallpaper.

so does this post contain all the things that can be changed to create a custom theme or are there more. also i would like to know if it is possible to have a slideshow play as your wallpaper so that it cycles through different wallpapers in the xmb or if you could have the wallpaper or background change when you select a different top menu icon? once again thanks for your help. sorry if i am a noob but thanks to your post i am becoming a little experienced.

there are more but these are the basics which is why it's a mega guide for theme basics. Just gotta check every rco. No it's not possible but you can have a custom slideshow in the system settings then about psp. It's the sysconf_about.rco

did i mention you are the nicest and most helpful person i ever encountered online. most people get upset and act like a smart ass when you ask a "dumb" question just because they already know how to do it. so thank you for all your help and i wont bug you anymore.

since you been such a big help to me, i wanted to inform you that it is possible to remove the xmb wave. you can do so by using xmbeditor v3 for 4.01. it is located under the advanced options -> wave tools -> remove wave.

do you know how to make the xmb main icons to not move when selected them? also do you know how to make it so that only one subicon is visible at a time? thanks.

[osnap1584]

check the y space between subicons offset in the paf.prx what do you mean not move? Like when you open up a folder? Should be the xmb position in sub sub menu in the vshmain.prx offsets. Just do some experimenting that's how I learn. A little advice, use the gui's like vshmain editor and Ac_K's xmb editor then convert using schmilk's prx convertor. You can get the small time things done that way.

thank you once again. i pretty much have my theme completed (no doubt because of your help) but there is one more thing i need help with. i want to convert my flash0 theme to a ctf but i dont know how to make a ptf out of my flash0 theme. is there anyway to make a ctf without the ptf? or i can i make a ptf with my custom icons which are larger than the 64x48 that the sony theme converter permits? i see alot of ctfs with large icons so i know there must be a way to do it but google is not helping me with this so i came to the expert. i know i posted alot of questions here and i really appreciate all the help you have given me.
