This is a small tutoriol about how to get a logo into the optionmenu_base.bmp from the system_plugin rco.

Here is a picture, PSP-Hacks is in the option menu and when you change the theme color the logo also colors into the same color..(PSP-Hacks is not in the back ground picture!!)





First: you are limited to this resolution.. any higher and the xmb icon's from network will be srewed!?
Download my base bmp(its 256x64 resolution)
Download my base

1-Start photoshop and load my base..

2-Go into the alpha channel and use the text tool to write something, stay inside the grey area.

3-And stay below the white blur in the top of the base.., make sure the text is clear, its a small resolution and the picture will be stretched.

4-Now that you typed something the typed borders are selected and you use the brush tool and select white as color BUT make it 1 step less white.., so you have a color slightly grey.(so almost almost white as color)


5-Now make the brush size bigger as the whole selection and brush twice.


6-select the rgb channel and deselect the alpha channel

7-save as 32 bits bmp and replace the tex_optionmenu_base in the system_plugin.rco with rco editor from zinga burga

I tried also with picture's in the rgb channel(with an alpha silohuet, or without and the picture will be transparant) but they will be colored by theme color you use..
Picture's can be used with alpha channel etc but the resolution makes it difficult if you know how to work with alpha channel you can find out yourself..

If you find other findings please post a picture in the topic!!
