first of all the main reason why flashing doesn't seem to work properly is because the recovery of 3.71M33(including 3.60M33 slim)
has a bug probably 'caused by a porting error or being loaded in vsh mode.

i recommend using the extended pandora menu with usb flash access.
The new 3.71 update 2 fixes the Recovery bug and allows safe flashing once again

another thing of 3.71 is that they splited topmenu_plugin.rco into
topmenu_icon.rco which holds the icons and
topmenu_plugin.rco which holds the page/text resources.

now the tricky thing.
zlibed mig/gim icons aren't supported anymore in topmenu_icon.rco
but uncompressed still are (wth...)

@ZiNgA BuRgA
i guess your RCOEdit needs an update ;)

below example theme is by Vegetano1
however the conversion is very uncomplete as it has the only purpose to show that 3.71M33 is as customizable as 3.52M33.
Note: don't edit the topmenu_icon.rco ...

edit:
pspfiler has been reported not to work,
however if you want to test be sure you have a pandora battery!

Kinda no point...

Uncompressed images are HUGE.
Let's see, image data: 64x64 × 1 = 4KB, pallete = 256×4 = 1KB, then wee have 0x40 GIM header, plus 0x40 pallete header + 0x40 data header.
Total size for one 64x64 icon = 5312 bytes.
A topmenu_plugin.rco will be over half a MB...

Haven't checked, but what was changed?
EDIT: ???  From what it seems here, you did edit the topmenu_icon.rco...

bstronga proofed that custom theme's is posible,.. but don't be stupid like me,.. well it was kinda late ,.. 2:45 am,.. lol

Okee last night i was a little stupid and flashed the topmenu_icon.rco and the vshmain and paf.prx into flash0 using the recovery,..
Well stupid i dunno because that same day i did some testing and was able to flasht custom topmenu_icon.rco and also a the backup topmenu_icon.rco,.
But this don't work for prx files,. so i am stuck with a psp slim semi brick,.. i can go into recovery but that it,..
I just have to wait for unbricker,.

If you can go into recovery menu, can't you just restore your old PRXs?

That's so weird when i did the testing for you could restore the topmenu_icon.rco's but i can't flash the prx files from backup flash0

Or do you mean something else with restore prx!?
