Extract the file and you should have another two RAR archives.



xmb-icons-250.rar -- can only be used to make the topmenu_plugin.rco for any
firmware above 2.00 (which includes custom firmware)



xmb-icons-150.rar -- can only be used to make the topmenu_plugin.rco for 1.50
(no network icon)



Extract the one you are going to use and you should be ok





OK first lets make your Icons!

Icon Specifications

1. 64x64 pixels


2. 8 bit color or 256 colors (same thing)


3. BMP Format


4. Transparency is defined by "first color in palette order"

1. Now that you've made your icons, its time to make your
   topmenu_plugin.rco
   
   
   
    


2. Copy your newly created icons to wherever you extracted your xmb icon
   maker package.
   
   
   
   
    


3. Once you do that all you have to do is double-click the doit.cmd program
   and a command console should pop up.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   You should have a newly created topmenu_plugin.rco in "xmb-icons-2.50"
   
   
   
   
    


4. 
   Use the latest version of pspfiler to perform the flashing of
   topmenu_plugin.rco
   
   
   
   you have to flash it to flash0:/vsh/resource
   
   
   
   once you successfully flashed your file, exit and enjoy your new XMB!
   
    

1. [1.50 only] Shadows do not match the icons. This is something else that
   has to be edited.
   
    


2. Shadows are gone.
   
   
   
   Removed in the xmb-icon-250 maker.
   
   
   
    


3. Icons are missing in the higher firmwares.
   
   
   
   Unfixable because we are using a 2.50 topmenu_plugin.rco as our base. So any
   icon added since 2.50 will appear blank. They do function however.
   
   
   
   Why not use the 2.6 topmenu_plugin.rco? We cannot change the XMB text in the
   2.60 topmenu_plugin.rco
   
   
   
    


4. Poor Colors
   
   
   
   Hey what do you expect from only 8 bits?
