[RELEASE] CXMB Manager BETA 1

[Mr_Shizzy]

Here is something I wrote, because I was starting to accumulate so many .CTF themes, trying to sort through them in the XMB was starting to become a chore...

---------------------------------
WHAT IS IT ?
---------------------------------
- The purpose of CXMB Manager is to make the cataloging, and sorting, of your CXMB theme files easier.
----------------------------------------------
WHAT DOES IT DO ?
----------------------------------------------
- Allows you to store unlimited CTF themes.
- Allows full screen previews
- Fully functional favorites list. (Add, remove, ect...)
- Does not interfere with being able to apply ctf themes in xmb
- Allows importing of custom_theme.dat from Flash1
- Allows information to be stored/diplayed for each theme
----------------------------------------------------
HOW DO I SET IT UP ?
----------------------------------------------------
Set up is pretty easy.

- Theme previews are placed in the "ms0:/CXMB_Manager/CTF_Previews/ * NAME OF THEME/"
- Preview folder MUST be named EXACTLY as the .ctf theme it represents (minus the .CTF extension)
so if you wanted to set a a preview folder for "SchmediaCenter2009.C TF" you would name the folder "SchmediaCenter2009"
- If you would like a preview to show up for that theme, you need to place a 480x272 preview pic in .PNG format. Otherwise, it will just show up "No Preview".
- If you want the wallpaper to show up for a particular theme, you need to place the corresponding custom_theme.dat file for that theme in the preview folder.
To obtain the custom_theme.dat file, you just apply the theme from the XMB, then boot up CXMB Manager, and select the theme you want, and select the "Import custom_theme.dat option"
This only needs to be done once...
- If you would like store/view information for a theme, just fill out the info.txt file included, and place it in the theme preview folder.
You can then view the info while viewing the theme in CXMB Manager.
------------------------------------------------
SPECIAL NOTES
------------------------------------------------
- This program checks to see if all the required .prx files are set up properly for CXMB to run.
If they are not, the program will refuse to start.
- If you do not place a preview pic in the theme preview folder, that's OK.
But the theme will just show as "no preview" in the program
- Can't think of anything else right now - if you have comments/questions you can email me

You haven't added any themes to your favorites list.
Therefore you get an error.

Add 1 or more themes to your favorites, then try opening it bro

You don't have the decyrpted files in "ms0:/CXMB/Support/"

Needed decyrpted official prx's:
common_gui.prx
paf.prx
vshmain.prx

If you know how to get them, then put them in "ms0:/CXMB/Support/".

If not you need to google for the PSAR dumper for your version.
After that get the update .pbp for your CFW version. Then follow
the readme after that. When you are do look for the three files and
put the in the support folder.
