@heindlik
try using xmbmc


@mute
I can't find how to change this one so i'll ask it again here
Uhm... In music menu for example,
_____
|____|_______[Music name]
|__1_|___________________________________
|........|_______[Artist]

I want to change the spacing of the Music name & Artist to the track number... So it will be closer to it(track #)... do you know the offset?

do you get my point?

thanks!and another thanks for all of your replies...

well they both contain some icons for the osk, Im not really 100% sure what they do though.
I dont mess too much with the osk, I usually edit the bg, and occasionally the actual button images.

[pseudocode2]

can u make a official video of making xmb themes on youtube.?
i still cant understand yah say.

Errr...

I have a question again.

I already made the ctf. but the infobar looks different from the flash0...


flash0 - the infobar is ok.

ctf - the infobar is

What do you think is the reason why the infobar in the ctf is different in the flash0 one? is something wrong with common_gui.prx?

oh btw, I used cxmb to create the ctf....


EDIT: Uhmm... nevermind... I figured it out. ^_~

Hi, I'm having trouble with my theme. I seem to be getting mission icons. I've read about using the 1x1 pixel on unused icons, focus and shadows. I've actually gone and done it but I still get missing icons. Any suggestions?

you are running out of resources, either lower the quality of the icons or change the size of it. try not to use alot of gradients on your icons that might also help.
