Hey guys (and gals, ).

I want to make a custom XMB, with the theme being, you guessed it, . The problem is sourcing icons / pics. Any of you able to supply me with high qaulity pics, so i can make them into icons. They have to be bigger then 128 x 128 in size, I was thinking about using OS3.9 icons, as i dont know where to get OS4.0 icons, never seen OS 4 yet, .

Anyways, let me know what you think.

On a side note, i would really like to make the network icon PSPUAE, . So you click and it loads PSPUAE, but this is a side project.

To add, decided to mess with icon launching as a test, to see how icons are made.

Took a pic off an amiga, converted to a PSP XMB icon, then added it to the topmenu.rco, I then altered xmb using a prx that launches files in a certain location, using an icon. I replaced the network update icon with my amiga pic, after flashign topmenu to flash0, i booted and seen network update was now an amiga pic. I then copied PSPUAE to prx location folder. Now when clicking amiga pic, launches PSPUAE instantly, no more crappy PSP logo, .

I will get deeper into this, as i said though any pics would be great. Need to workout what to use for each icon.

Not sure I have any icons that would be big enough for this. It is an interesting idea and would look great if the whole XMB looked like a Workbench desktop.

Messing around with the XMB icons and look is one area I've not tried doing as I quite like the original Sony icons, but it would be great to see some screenshots once you have more done.

Aye, I will try to get my capture plugin working, so i can grab a shot of the pspuae xmb launcher.

As there is no way i can brick now (unless get a hardware failure), im happy to mess with flash0 more freely now. Can just use my kids psp to change my batt to unbrick, , if i brick, aint happened yet (touches wood).

I could do a workbench clone, which 1 though? OS 3.1, OS 3.9?

Personally I would love to see a 1.3 one, just because that is truly retro, but the 3.1 theme is also retro enough to look cool.

Either would look cool.

Anything, just so long as you don't need a Kickstart UMD (Now that would be true retro-modern chic)

Animated Gif, aint that great but screen shot would not work,

Beware its 3MB in size, will have to alter size

That looks rather spiffy

Im going to try and get something together for tonight. Now I know how it all works, still unsure how to move X-Menu to top of screen, but could just leave it there. Have already thought of what to do, .

The only negative aspect of having the menu at the bottom is that it looks like a Mac! That will never do!
