Endless Paradigm

Okay,
here's my problem.

This new God of Themes theme I'm making
is proving to be quite annoying so I figured
I'd post a thread to see if anyone could help
in ANY way.

First of all,
Takeshi's Xmb Multi Customizer beta 3
is an amazing tool.
(just want to get that clear)

I have used it so much to make many
different themes. That I really haven't
released yet...

Including my Haunter Remixedv3 (Pokemon Theme)
and my newest theme "The God of Themes"

The possibilities are endless in that program.
I wish I understood it more than I do right now
It's quite simple but some things aren't labelled
too...well noob friendly? lol OBVIOUSLY I'm
part of those noobs because I'm having a hard time.

Okay, so!
Here's my first problem.

#1) I used the God of War true type font
available for download on almost any font
website out there right now

and when I turn on my psp the font is still white!
even though, even though! I change the color
in Xmb Multi Customizer beta 3 and move the
files from the done folder into the vsh file
of my theme it still shows up as black NOT red.
Help Please.



#2) Whenever I put icons into topmenu_icon.rco
they show up in Xmb Multi Customizer but never
on my PSP. Only one shows up and that's the MS icon.
Yes I know all about compression and png's and
replacing the gim's you don't need in an rco
or the ones that aren't really needed like the
shadows of icons (I make those to 1 x 1 black pixels)
here's a view of how big my file sizes are for each of the
4 icons I have made so far the picture says it all...

3) How am I supposed to tell where everything's
supposed to be placed in a theme I can't understand
all the different X and Y coordinate labels I have
no idea what any of them mean please someone help.
Write a tutorial make a video...something!

#1) for font color, try using vshmain editer by highboy
for wave color, you can extract the TGA image from model file, color it red,, save,, convert as model again.

#2) whatever you've said, I'm still thinking that you're out of resource. 2KB for 1x1 image is oversized, it should be around 150ish bytes (or listed as 1 KB). by the way you can actually delete them if you don't need the icons.


#3) 0,0 is the center of XMB. all image coordinates are also measured from their center
