I think some of the guys here said they used photoshop to work on the icons. It just has to be a specific size (but you can use any program to edit the size of the picture). And the guy that did the Transformers theme said he got the icons from the web. I haven't made a theme yet. Maybe I should lol.
i found a pretty good site with a load of themes (500 so far) which can be installed straight from your ps3 browser: http://www.allps3themes.com
Thats just what i was looking for because those rar files for some reason i don't understand how to get the theme from them.
Took me a while but I finally can make my own. I will try and draw up a tutorial on how to do it for those that are having a hard time. Thanks Afterdawn for the link to paint.net freeware. Thats what I use to edit my icons.
i know this thread is kinda old but i found a godfather theme here http://www.allps3themes.com/downloads/Godfather.p3t
this thread isnt as good as the one on gametrailers.check it out:http://forums.gametrailers.com/showthread.php?t=228657 it explains how to install and there's more than 100.
i think the threads done it purpose, we have 3 websites to download themes from: http://www.allps3themes.com/ http://www.playstation3themes.com/ps3-themes/ http://ps3themes.tumblr.com/ and that you use paint.net to edit icons if your ever making a theme. a guide to creating themes would top it off though.
For anyone interested in making thier own themes PS3 Theme Builder v2.1 was released in December,it allows you to create your own theme and add Sound effects,ive never used it before but i just downloaded it and it looks very easy.

LogikaPs3 v0.1b -------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first theme so I need a question answered. 1. How do I remove the background from the icons? I tried using photoshop and didn't work to well. Changelog: v0.1a-v0.1b Changed icons under settings. These are what I am going to work on for the next releases: Version 0.2: More clear icons Backgrounds removed Version 0.3: Icons more clear Custom sounds Version 0.4(Final): Maybe by this time someone will figure out how to change the positions If so positions will be changed. If not I will make the icons more clear and get some new icons that look better. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Screenshots: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X1K8JRPE What do you guys think? Should I continue with releases or no?
nick48 I see your problem now dude,what software are you using to make your icons bigger.Your theme is quite good,
Were the backgrounds originaly on them or did they apear after you converted them. I used a program called image converter plus it batch enlarged the icons without putting the backgrounds on them. Also did you know that you can put sound effects in your theme. This is one of the themes that i created,notice the icon difference between this one and the Mila Jovovich one above.
The backgrounds were originaly with the icons unfortunatly, would the program you used still work? Yea I' working on my next version for the theme with different sound effects close to the ones on logika.
