DIY your own Theme for your lovely X3

[nmatheis]

As explained before, it is not working for me (I just retried: opened original orange logo.bmp from FW 3.24b, draw a few kids-level lines rapidly, save, repack, flash => X3 has a black screen at boot).
Which version of Paint do you have? I have v6.1 on Win7.
And are you really talking about the file logo.bmp? (we do not have problems with the other image files, it is only this one).

And as far as I tried, ImageMagick is not working either: it is either writing 24 bits/pixel (like Paint), or if I put some options to have the alpha byte (i.e. 32 bits), it puts a color table and compression = 3 that seems to messed up everything for the X3 (maybe it will work in X5, don't know).

Sorry it's not working for you.

Yup, I've successfully modded the logo.bmp file in MS Paint on my Win7 work laptop. I just opened the existing logo.bmp file, modded it, and saved it. I haven't done it with X3 firmware recently but just did it with the latest few X5 fw (stable and beta) with no issues. I have done it successfully with X3 fw in the past, though. I've also used Pixelmator on my Mac with no issues.

For themes based on 3.24 is it not possible to go back to old style battery icon?

From what I've seen probably not. The old firmware uses different pngs for each bar level, whereas the new firmware only uses the 1 png. If you tried to go back to the old style you'd probably just get a static icon with no way to tell how much charge. Actually now that I think of it the numbers might still show up depending on the colours used.

Thanks.

I was pretty hesitant to update to 3.24 because there's just too many updates coming out now (and I'm lazy), but this theme just convinced me. Good work!

Oh, I see what you did there. Trying to get us to send you an X5, eh :wink_face:

In all seriousness, you put together one great mod and would give the X5 mmodders modders a run for their money!
