PS3 Xmb waves

Is it possible to remove the function of the background colors that change according to the month? ... That's interesting, but particularly, I prefer to choose the color than I like:rolleyes new: ... Just like in firmware 2.60 (I think)

Thats all the wave is I gave you, all the backround colours were replaced with black. What colour did you want?

Well, to tell you the truth two, one black without the sparkles (you already did, thank you very much) and the other also without the sparkles, but without changing according to the month and that I can choose other colors instead of stay only one :)

Yes 0 = original, and the others are the number of the month
Is the same list of options that can be seen in your screenshots

To be honest i dont know how to use debugging tools to try to see how that color is applyed to the sidemenu or how it works

Inside sysconf_plugin.sprx doesnt appears the colors we got from your screenshot
January = B6BFC7
February = CCB81B
March = 71AA25
April = DC6E80
May = 1A7B1A
June = 8F6FBA
July = 22B8AA
August = 0636A3
September = 8A359A
October = C2900F
November = 624314
December = B73522
I decrypted it the other day and tryed to find the color for March = 71AA25
Using "AA" as search pattern, then looking at his sides for "71" and "25" (because we dont know the endianess of how is stored so there are 2 posible ways to store that value)
But no luck... that values doesnt exists inside sysconf_plugin.sprx
Dont remember right now if i did... but i think i did the same for vsh.self.... and no luck either :/

And inside sysconf_plugin.rco the only thing related is what i posted here:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/xmb-waves.18807/page-3#post-197248

That 4 lines in the xml are the 4 options you see when you click in the [XMB] > [Theme Settings]
The line that allows to change the color is named page_theme_config_color

After that is a road end :crybaby:

Also, i can say that color values doesnt exists inside:
-amb.bmp (inside icons.qrc)
-texenv.dds (inside icons.qrc)
-dif.dds (inside icontext.qrc)

*All them checked in a hexeditor searching for a list with 12 colors matching completly or partially with the values we got from your screenshot
*I found a coupe of interesting things from amb.bmp thought, but not related with the 12 predefined color filters i was trying to find


Edit:
This is the color palette of the original amb.bmp

So no hope with side menu color meaning road blocked hhéhéh
 
Can you post the decrypted prx here?
Try to decrypt it with the filemanager of ManaGunz

1) Browse to dev_flash whatever and mark the file (with square)
2) Open the file options (triangle) and "copy"
3) Browse to other path in dev_hdd0 (or dev_usb or whatever) to use as work directory, paste the file in it
4) Then mark the file (with square)
5) Open the file options (triangle) and "decrypt"


*Hint:
ManaGunz can extract the contets of icons.qrc and icontex.qrc too ;)

Yes, is one of the cases where we can follow the sequence of how it works by looking at the rco xml code but only up to a point
Im going to show you something for curiosity sake, the last line where we lost the track is this one:
Code:
<Page name="page_theme_config_color" pageMode="0x1101" pageOnInit="nothing" pageOnCancel="event:native:/OnCancelThemeConfig" pageOnContext="nothing" pageOnActivate="nothing"></Page>

Is a simple <Page> object, this objects doesnt represents anything on screen (because doesnt have any attribute related with position, size, color, images, etc...)

The <Page> represents a "node" of the hierarchy and it can be loaded by his name, in this case is named page_theme_config_color, very good name btw there are other official objects with very confusing names but for this ones we are completly sure

Now lets take a look at the attributes used by a <Page>, are very special
Code:
<Page name="page_theme_config_color"
pageMode="0x1101"
pageOnInit="nothing"
pageOnCancel="event:native:/OnCancelThemeConfig"
pageOnContext="nothing"
pageOnActivate="nothing"
></Page>
pageMode is unknown, but 100% of the objects uses the same value... so we are sure this one is not related with what we are looking for

And all the other attributes of <Page> are "references"
https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Template:RCO_TOC_reference_types
More specifically... are reference "events"

The "events" is the way used by the rco files to trigger code functions, either in:
-A javascript file included inside the rco (this feature is not used in PS3, it was inherited from PSP)
-Or inside the .SPRX associated with the .RCO

Actually... all this references used as events in official firmware can be used to load other "object" or an "animation" (this is what @LuanTeles uses to make the sidemenu of the PRO mod)

The point is... the events used by page_theme_config_color are doing "nothing" (empty)
The only one that is doing something (in the .SPRX) is the one named:
pageOnCancel="event:native:/OnCancelThemeConfig"

But that basically means... "when the user press the circle button, load ThemeConfig"
So is a bummer.... this event is triggered when you CLOSE the sidemenu with the color selection (and it takes you back 1 menu level up)









-------------
Edit: As a recap... to focus the target ;)
We know the firmware is doing some kind of "link" in between <Page name="page_theme_config_color"> and other place of the firmware where is constructed the sidemenu with the color selector tiny squares

And the only way to link to it is by his name, so there should be at least 1 more firwmare file where is mentioned the name page_theme_config_color

So probably what the firmware is doing is:
1) Load sysconf_plugin.rco
2) Patch (or override in memory) page_theme_config_color attribute number 2, named pageOnInit on the fly
