Cool How to use ThemeMagic

See release thread here.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Install ThemeMagic
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Unzip my program somewhere.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Install new Themes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just make a new folder in the "Themes" one (it gets created after first run)
and put all files in it. My program will auto install to the correct folders...

Example:
Quote:
Say I have a theme called MyNewTheme.
MyNewTheme is a zip file containing several RCO files and a font.
I just unzip it to ThemeMagic\Themes\MyNewTheme
Now when I run my program, `MyNewTheme` is an option.
If you have 3.10 OEA, please leave topmenu_plugin.rco out.
If you accidentally flash it, just rerun my program and choose the !OriginalBackup! to get your original theme back.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Run
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Go to your PSP's recovery menu, then to `Advanced`, then select `Toggle usb (flash0)`.
2. Run ThemeMagic.bat.
Follow on screen instructions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Add to Current Theme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[/size][/color]
1. Put the new items to add inside the `Themes\AddNew` folder.
2. Go to your PSP's recovery menu, then to `Advanced`, then select `Toggle usb (flash0)`.
3. Run ThemeMagic.bat.
4. Select the theme `AddNew`. All items will be added to the current theme.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Save Current Theme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Go to your PSP's recovery menu, then to `Advanced`, then select `Toggle usb (flash0)`.
2. Run ThemeMagic.bat.
3. Select the theme `S` or `s`.
4. Name your theme (Try to avoid spaces).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Restore Original Theme
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Go to your PSP's recovery menu, then to `Advanced`, then select `Toggle usb (flash0)`.
2. Run ThemeMagic.bat.
3. When it asks for what theme to use, choose !OriginalBackup! or R.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To Change Themes Using a Custom Batch File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1. Go to the folder that contains ThemeMagic.bat
2. create a new text file, and save it as `UseTheme.bat`, where Theme is the name of your theme.
3. Right click the batch file (If it looks like a notepad, then you actually named it `UseTheme.bat.txt`), and select edit.
4. Input the following into the field and save it:
Quote:
ThemeMagic.bat G: MyTheme
Where G: is the drive the psp is on, and MyTheme is the theme you want to use. It will look for MyTheme in the Themes folder.

<for those who like making their own batch files, my program supports the /? standard, and you can run it entirely automatically or partially automatically from command line>

I have made two versions of this program:

Version 1 (Nothing but my program, no Themes included): 5.07 KB:ThemeMagic!

Version 2 (Included themes from QJ.net): 5.87 MB:ThemeMagic! themes included.

The readme for each theme is included, so read them.
If you don't have enough room, just restore your PSP to original, and free some up.

Themes I added in:
Black32 XMB Theme Encore 4
PSP3d (Mine, works on 3.10 OEA)
Zelda (This has a nonflash background, and coldboot.vag which is not flashable by itself)
Duranium
Blocki
Gears Of War
SaiZn's Orange and White
SaiZn's Red and Silver
theICE_Man

These are the files my program can flash, and what they do:
Quote:
01-12.bmp ~Change the wallpapers (behind wave)
gameboot.pmf ~Change the gameboot (Video/sound for homebrew)
game_plugin.rco ~Change the game Loading icon
htmlviewer.res ~Change the sounds of the browser
impose_plugin.rco ~Change the Volume Bar
opening_plugin.rco ~Change the cold boot sound (I think)
photo_plugin.rco ~Change the photo loading icons.
premo_plugin.rco ~I have no clue, but it was in a theme package.
system_plugin.rco ~Change XMB Sound Effects (I think)
system_plugin_bg.rco ~Change the XMB Wave
system_plugin_fg.rco ~Change the Clock
topmenu_plugin.rco ~Change the Menu
ltn0.pgf ~Change the font.
If you don't have enough room, try using OutaSpace to free some.

^_^ Hope this helps someone. Ask if you need more assistance.
