Statement: In order to bring more fun in using X3 and meet more personalized requirements, we have developed one firmware unpacking tool. With this tool, customers can design the theme’s elements according to specified formats and sizes, so as to create one new personalized firmware. After reset, customer would get the new customized theme to replace the former embedded one, which includes the following elements:
 
1. Boot animation
2. Color and font of the character.
3. Background on various interfaces
4. Icons and operation instruction animations (i.e. upgrading lib, charging icon)

I'll give it a try.
 
I'm thinking about a black&red theme and a light gray theme. What exactly is the red used in FiiO's products? Gotta look it up later.
 
Will the themes be switchable on the go? That should allow both a nighttime theme and a daytime theme.

Great, but... Chinse language? can I use English in my X3?
Also there are 5 folder in /litegui (from theme1 - theme5) Could it be a rule to edit only folders 2-5, so that theme1 would be deafult?
