XMB Icon Hacking...

Someone beat you to it two pages back :D

Ok, here is the extras from 3.02 OE-B:

PS: I tried NOT to highlight the new icons so they would not be blinking, some I had to take a screen shot once the highlight was not there.

Hi GmDude66,
Nice job, but uploading pngs isn't very helpful, they need to be bmp.
If you open these pngs in Paint, and then save them as 256 colour bmps
ready for conversion, they get their colours messed up.
Even the jpgs uploaded earlier go screwy..

I don't yet have any sub icons that I can work with, or I would do a complete topmenu file for 3.02 OE.

Would these work?

yes
....

I think these will work, 256 bmp.

Oh nerver mind seems like Spirit Hawk Leon beat me.

That's what I end up with when I convert the jpeg & pngs with the proper colours to bmp.
If you blow them up and look at them, they have blue and green in them.


edit,,, NVM..
I cut and pasted into another picture with the correct palette, and it fixes them :)
Look at the difference... probably still not exactly correct.

I want some custom icons!! where do i start? (this is my first time in this thread)

64x64 8-bits BMP.

How do you think? :p

Seriously though, if you use simple colors they'll look just fine.

Of course. I'm using 3.02 OE-B with modded XMB Icons.

You can see it from the screenshots in my guide.

Just follow my guide and you will be ok.

Yes it does. :)

When you update the subicons, could you make it so "Online manual" is "Online Instruction Manual" and RSS channel (Channel)? Just to make it the original :D

as posted by Mistabeen....for the devs...........

btw, to all the devvers out there that might be working or willing to work on an update of this hack, I found out a few things.
This hack only seems to work with BMP's that are indexed with the windows 256 color table, if possible you should change this. WHy? Becaus the windows 256 contains a wide variation of colors. as illustrated here

why is this bad? becaus of a few reasons.
- the windows color table uses pure black as transparant, so no black colors in your icons, unless you take the darkest gray.
- When you make it possible to use your own colortables, icons will look much better (to give you an idea of this: when you create an icon, that has allot of different shades of blue, if you use the windows table, it'll have to use the blues that are found in the windows colortable. But when you make it possible to use your own custom colortables (only possible in Photoshop and other advanced imageediting software) you can make a 256 colortable containing only different shades of blue, wich will make the icon look very smooth.
- making your own colortables makes it possible to use your own transparncy color, use a color that you won't use like brightpink or so.

if also possible, if someone where to make an upgraded version of the hack, make it possible to flash your own icons for camera, remote play, etc... on 3.02 OE-B

Answered in order
-no it uses what ever the first color in you pallet is
-they are called pallet and it uses what ever pallet you have the image set to
-read the first answer
-you can do it your self simple hex editing

Guys, just because you get an 8-bit limit does not mean you have to make 2-toned :P

1. Open up with PhotoShop
2. Image->Mode->Indexed Color
3. Set to "Local (Adaptive)
4. Save as a BMP
5. Open with paint and edit any black pixel
6. File->Save

It now works fine on the PSP without any loss of quality:
(You can test if you don't believe me lol)

http://gmdude66.net/cam.bmp

http://gmdude66.net/cert.bmp

http://gmdude66.net/inst.bmp

http://gmdude66.net/remo.bmp


PS: The file size for all converted icons will ALWAYS be 5.05kb :P

With that said from GmDude, can we have the Custom icons for 3.02 OE-B updated to those above? (instead of using the USB icon for the Camera, etc.?)

Also, can someone convert icons for me using that way you did GmDude, if someone could?

is there a way to hex edit the color of the font on the xmb?
