topsXMBtheme

[tophead420]

Well I got bored last night and decided to spice up my XMB.Cuase with the top menu and font I had it was totally boring.So I searched for fonts, icons and the right background. Well heres what I've created with what I found. I liked what I made so I've decided to share it with everyone. Heres a pic of it
http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u164/t0phead420/screen3.jpg

Heres how your going to want to install it:
Personally I use psp filer instead of the USB flash0 because I don't trust using USB flash0. But anyways flash these however your used to flashing them doesn't matter how you flash them.Just be cautious when doing this I don't want anyone to brick. Make sure you have atleast 410kb (or enough to flash these) of free space on your flash0 memory as this is the files total size when flashed.

Ok first take the 01-12 bmp and flash it to flash0: vsh/resource

Then take the ltn0.pgf and place it in flash0: font

For the topmenu_plugin.rco take the included icons and make them into a topmenu plugin with the XMB packager and flash it to flash0: vsh/resource

If anyone needs help to install this let me know and I'll help you. I hope you enjoy my new XMB. You can download it from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/r1exj7

I would like to thank deliriumhappy of QJ.net forums for the background and Chnk for the icon pack I got my icons from. I made the font so I will thank myself:p
EDIT:
OK I decided to upload it to the forums to make it easier for you guys to download it. I will keep the sendspace link up in case people have problem downloading from the forums.
SMALLER FONT:
Since a few people have ask for the font to be smaller here it is if you want it

tophead420, that's the best theme I've seen so far! Too bad Sony can't/won't learn a lesson from this though and make the XMB appearance fully customizable from the next firmware natively.

Any ways, I'll be loading this up on mine in no time.:thumbup:

[ICE]

ya i just took the font from it hehe.

go to theme settings and set your theme to original


Just put the background in the photo folder and set it as the wallpaper
If its not flashed you wont get the wavy lines. It still looks good without the wavy lines but much better if its flashed

[hutzdani]

Hi guys I have problem to install top menu XMB icons to Flash0 any one can help me with step-by-step instruction how to do that?
:confused:

[FireStag]

Is there a program like PSP Filer 2.8 in english, cuz.... I need that.

[hutzdani]

Just put the background in the photo folder and set it as the wallpaper


Thatz just plain lame lol, why save it to background and take up more Flash space, when you can just flash a new 01-12.bmp to flash0 thats a uber smal file size.

amkes more sence to me

[tophead420]

Is there a program like PSP Filer 2.8 in english, cuz.... I need that.

PSP filer has English. When you start it up push select the O to change the language to English.


Thatz just plain lame lol, why save it to background and take up more Flash space, when you can just flash a new 01-12.bmp to flash0 thats a uber smal file size.

Actually my background for this is 104kb and its only one background. Reason for it being so big is it has to be larger then 60x34 (mines is 250x142) to improve the resolution on the background

[Shrygue]

The XMB customisations are well good.

[FireStag]

Well I feel noobish, thanks man, putting it on now.

[tophead420]

Well I feel noobish, thanks man, putting it on now.

This is a really awesome theme, tophead420! Actually the best I have seen so far! I'm gonna flash it as soon as I can. The flash USB option in 3.03 OE-C is so convenient for stuff like this. :)

I hope you put together more great themes in the future.

[joshisposer]

It's just like saying some people still use Playstation (not 2/3). I mean, faster or newer isn't always better. I don't have dial-up anymore but i mean, it made me gain weight along with me just gaining weight since i am growing. I mean, with dial-up, u download a file and go outside, Shoot some hoops, play catch, etc and then come back inside and then it's done. I mean, i wouldn't go back but there's nothing wrong with it.

If not, then you'd have missing icons.
