I Like That Its Very Simple and Quaint

[bah]

Nice one Evolve :)

[AI-Ron]

Yeah, thanks for sharing m8 =) Have you got links to a matching battery and volume bar?

[dark heart]

racial! :D JOKING! lol, looking good!

[BelmontSlayer]

This is the best I've seen yet. Excellent job, and + rep!

[hibone]

ok. Sorry for being a noob but how do install this?

I've always been a bit worried about messing with this stuff and the most I've ever changed is the text on my psp and installed custome firmwares. I've never bricked my psp thankfully but I dont want to start either.

I'm currently on 3.40 OE-A

I presume I'm going to need software to install this.

Does this cause problems in the future for updating or changing my firmware? Do I need to un install the plugin before changing firmwares?

If so how do I do that?

Any help would be greatly appriciated!!

[-Xandu-]

Very nice but, what about the background?

[Veskgar]

This icon set looks really sweet. I usually don't pay no mind to custom icons but I must compliment you on this great work.

[AI-Ron]

@ -Xandu-: He postet some wallpapers over at maxconsole ;)

[Abgoj]

nice and simple :thumbup:

First icon set I have ever actually wanted to use. Nice.

ETA: (OT) Wow, looks like I've been getting major +rep while I haven't been looking. Thanks, whoever it was!

[jay641]

I've never used custom icons before because ive never thought any were better than the original set, but i'll definitely be installing these!
Nice work!

[Buddy4point0]

i now have this on my 3.40 psp and the black32 volume bar, battery, loading, etc.

Can you link to those so that I can install them when I install this later?

HOW TO INSTALL:

1. Unrar the archive.

2. Go to the recovery screen. If you don't know how to do that, you need to hold down the "R" button while powering up your PSP.

3. Go to "Advanced ->", then "Toggle USB (flash0)".

4. Not required, but I would back up the entire contents of "Flash0" onto a hard drive before flashing anything like this.

5. Go to "A:\vsh\resource". "A" being whatever your PSP drive is.

6. Copy & paste topmenuplugin.rco to that directory. If it doesn't ask you if you are certain to replace that file, you have the wrong directory.

7. Exit recovery and enjoy.

[evolve]

thx for comments, more colors added :)

[NoQuarter]

This will also be my first custom icon set,very nice.

[Shrygue]

That XMB icon set looks amazing, good work evolve!

[blueasseddwarf]

Sorry to bother you and I know other people have asked this too but would you mind linking all the rcos you use here, thanks. :)

[superpomme]

sorry if this seems like a really dumb question, ive never bothered with the topmenu stuff before, ive set the black icons with the green tree background but the "free space" etc text is all white and it spoils the look a bit, is this easily changed? is this a matter of changing the font somewhere?

[maly00]

This ... looks amazing!
And if you could create black/blue version of it... (so it can fit with Black Sexy Theme ;P)

But still i will definitely use them on all other themes ;)

[Jonesyxxiv]

Yeah if this was in blue I would use this.

[evolve]

Blue version would come soon :)

[Jonesyxxiv]

Blue version would come soon :)

Nice, im on 3.30 OE now so I better update to 3.40 OE soon

[deceiver117]

Gorgeous iconset, goes great with the selected wallpaper. One request however, can you please provide the font and battery bar? Thanks

[ryan2006]

can someone help me i used to be able to change my psp(3.40 custom) icons but now evrytime i try it bricks my psp and im getting so pissed off now

[hibone]

can someone help me i used to be able to change my psp(3.40 custom) icons but now evrytime i try it bricks my psp and im getting so pissed off now
I was also having trouble doing this. When I asked for help I got it!!

Theres instructions on how to install this on page 3 of this post thingie.

I'd have been stuck without it!

Now all I need is a nice volume and battery set and i'll be sorted............that was a big hint by the way.

"BATTERY & VOLUME BAR"

[Hungry Horace]

those black icons are possibly the nicest custom icons i've seen.



edit - sorry, but one thing spoils it..... the use of the IE logo for the web-browser.

why???


please please PLEASE change this.

also, Evolve... do you have a general site why you host links to all of your releases? i would like to see everything you have to offer, and the standard is very high.

however, not even adding a readme / filename for recognition (eg. to show 3.03 or 3.40 versions) is something you should consider correcting.

Here is another alternative game icon:

Thx, looks really cool. :)

[ICE]

do the white ones work with 3.40 OE-A or just the black ones?

[Volsung]

Hi, just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem, I've swapped the topmenu_plugin.rco for the one in the resource folder, however, when i quit out of the recovery menu, all I get is a bricked PSP, I backed up the flash0 folder, so I replaced the topmenu with my original and my PSP works fine again. I'm on 3.40oe-a with a TA-082 motherboard, anyone got a workaround?

[SpooForBrains]

I second the vote for having a different icon for the web browser ... not big with the IE love over here :)

Also, those of us that don't run Windows can't use the RCO icon editor, so if some kind person can post pre-compiled versions of the theme they'd get much love from me.

[Hungry Horace]

@ Evolve - like the new game icon i must admit.... just that IE logo to go!

[Shiori]

I am also having the bricking issue.

It the icons worked fine for a little while. But now they brick my psp? And I have to back up to my older 3.40 0E-A topmenu...

Even using a flasher EBOOT does not help... Just really wondering how to get them working again. ^_^

Any ideas? / Fix?

[Volsung]

Yep! I'm feeling you're pain, love these icons and can't wait to use them, but my psp doth protest... hopefully someone can help... pretty please?...

[Volsung]

Hi Shiori, I've had my problem solved by Evolve no less, If you link to his xmb site (www.evolvexmb.co.nr), and go to the help section he posted links to my enquiry (I'm osiris37)for some different versions, the second one worked. Hope you have the same outcome as me, they look great on the PSP!

All the best.

[mrk44]

ok, i have 3.03 oe-A. do i need oe-c or can i still use the one i have cuz when i go into recovery mode, and advance options, there is no "toggle USB" HELP!

[Volsung]

Not sure if it's the same mrk44 but on my 3.40oe-a you need to go to advanced options and select the toggle USB (flash0) option, this should bring up your internal folders on your PC as long as you have the USB linked, from there open the vsh/resource folder and replace the topmenu. I always back up my Original files onto my PC first though (I just backed up the whole flash0 in case of problems).

Hope that helps.

[Shiori]

I fixed it awhile ago.

I think your solution may have also worked.

- I think it was dependant on the files in your FLASH1.

Considering mine had been turned to garbage by something, i'm happy that once I pumped FLASH1 back to its "normal" state (I hope) it all worked fine.

[JinkoMK]

Hi, I'm new here but I know how forums work. Can you please make the Network icon white to match the white theme? Also the alternate Browser icon and the alternate Game Controller icon.

Also can you create a alternate photo settings icon? I'm not digging the flower.

[JinkoMK]

::BUMP:

Please?

[evolve]

give me +rep if you like my icons :)

I dont get it wen it says to go 2 the recovery screen hold R wen powering up ur psp.
Wat does powering up mean?

[JinkoMK]

When you turn it on (not from sleep mode).

I'll quote myself again...
