Yes, it's been a long time since I posted on EP. I haven't abandonned you guys, I've been pretty busy with College and stuff.
Anyways, I decided to update my custom theme to 3.80 today, but I've run into problems. I've been able to fix them for the most part, until I ran into this. In order to preserve the quality of my icons yet keep transparency, I decided to use PNG format, as Photoshop 5.5 doesn't let me save bmps above 24-bit, and 8- and 4-bit BMPs were not cooperating as far as transparency goes in RCO Editor. PNG worked, but there's this really really weird problem now.
If I move around enough in the XMB, the icons I didn't mess with will start to either disappear or look like corrupted image data. I've been unable to reproduce this effect using the stock "open" topmenu_icon.rco file.
I don't know why 8- and 4-bit BMPs aren't working for me now. They did in the past. And these icons are just greyscale anyway, it doesn't NEED to be 32-bit.
I'm also aware that I could just use the Sony version of custom icons at this point, but that doesn't have quite as much of a "leet" factor.
