    Tutorial How to create a PS3 Theme

    Post by PyroPhoenix Mon Dec 05, 2011 1:05 pm

    Creating a PS3 theme has been out for a long time. I've just never gave it a chance until now. So far I've made a theme, designed all the icons in photoshop and set up the backgrounds. I installed it on my PS3, it's up to date and looks great. The only problem I'm having is I can't seem to change the name of the theme. It still shows up as "sample".

    Btw, PS3 theme builder 3.0 won't work on a 64bit system. I did the whole thing without a theme builder. If you want to try your hand here's how to create your own PS3 Theme. The blogs tutorial is how to do it by hand except it's the old version. Icons like trophies / Tv will still be default.

    I had never thought about this before. Thanks for posting. Can we really design our own dynamic themes?

    Yeah there's some amazing dynamic themes created by users. There is a MW3 theme that has running video of the game in the background. Vicky is probably using the rolling fog dynamic theme. I personally don't use dynamic themes. I prefer the static themes like a desktop wallpaper.

    Thread derail hoooo. But I think static wallpapers look better on multi display setups personally. Both my home desktops are multi display, and for my laptop I rock a static wallpaper all the time. All three set ups are fully capable of running anything you throw at them.

    For my PS3's a use the default theme. I have about ten or so themes downloaded, and I made a static one once, but idk, i just like the default theme.. with its evolving shade and color scheme. *shrug*


    Hmm, half tempted to start a wallpaper thread. Might do that later.

    A wallpaper thread sounds like a great idea. The PS3's default theme is a nice dynamic theme, and it works with every theme. I still need to figure out how to change the theme name lol.

    After 10 mins playing with it I figured it out! I had to edit the XML file to change the name. Normally when you click XML file it goes straight to windows explorer. I dl'd XML notepad and fixed it asap. Mission accomplished!
