Need some advice on some icons disappearing
Ok, I started on this theme and i have made icons about the size of 134kb each in size and when I put it into rcoeditor and took out all remaining icons except the main ones, the topmenu_icon.rco came out to be about 78 kb and when compressed to about 72kb, can anyone of the xmb creators here help me out because the icons are disappearing(2 to be exacte, the game and network settings

RE: Need some advice on some icons disappearing
this is usally because you have used up all the allocated xmb ram so this cause the  network icons not to load or get weird boxes

try dummying icons and shadows in system.rco and system_plugin_fg.rco and making your icons smaller

yeah but they sound huge in pixel count...you need to remove alot of shadows and glows for other files other than topmenu only.
look at the files in my theme..there is TONS of things dumied out...

the other option is to reduce the number of colors int eh main and alpha layers which will eat up precious resources as well

01-12.bmp
system_plugin.rco
topmenu_icon.rco.

in my experience this three files is related to each other. got to play around with it. (color, size, shadows and glow matters)

hope this helps.
