Q&A
What is a dynamic theme?
A dynamic theme is simply a theme with a moving background made up with 3D models, textures and a script.
What's the difference between animated and dynamic themes?
Animated themes only have 1 effect which is a very fast slideshow, where as dynamic themes include multipe effects.
Why is this pro/dynamic?
Pro is the version of the slideshow style and there are 3 effects used
1. Timed camera zoom in/out
2. Random start image
3. Smooth fade transition between images
When I drag and drop the ProSlideShow.xml I don't get ProSlideShow.raf, Why?
The ProSlideShow folder must on the root of your C: drive. If you still get errors copy this command in cmd.exe
raf_compiler.exe C:\ProSlideShow\ProSlideShow.xml
Why do you do this GlowBall and for free too lol?
I do it cus I want people to enjoy spending time with thier PS3 console
and I believe that you can't put a price on fun.

Original ProSlideShow.js (Advanced) - http://www.mediafire.com/?di5w.....15fa1bal4k
**UPDATE 2**
Change Fade Color
1. Download and copy ProSlideshow.js http://www.mediafire.com/?hpp6.....6lnhwq1fh3 to the ProSlideShow folder.
2. Open ProSlideshow.js in notepad++ and edit the fade_color units (Red, Green, Blue, Alpha) on line 4.
1.0 is equal to 100% so use this website to help http://www.december.com/html/s.....orper.html and alpha doesn't matter really cus the dds files don't contain it.

OfflineOk, so I'm having a little trouble with this. I think the script calls for 7 background images ONLY, so I edited the .xml to accommodate only 4, but when I clean up and install on the PS3 it only shows image 4 static, no animation. Any help would be appreciated, thanks for your awesome work GlowBall.

@ snakeman07
The script is complex and you can't really change the amount of slides unless you remove the random selection (selects a number 1-7). Best option for you mate would be to get more images or repeat them. If you wondering why it's satic and on image 4 it's because any error within the script the PS3 skips it completely and as image 4 is the last image it stays satic.
If you know how you can play around
but if you don't then it is not recommended as you can brick your PS3 ![]()

@ droopysp
Which OS are you on man?
You can try setting jpg2dds.exe to run as administrator from the properties menu (right click). The tutorial set to run from the C:/ drive fella. Happy you see that it's a simpler process man that way even new themers can have a go.
Haha 30 themes
you are a hardcore themer lol
OfflineThanks GlowBall, I guess I'll just add a few more wallpapers 🙂 As for droopysp, are you sure you put it like this? C:ProSlideShow and not C:ProSlideshow/ProSlideshow? Because when you extract the zip file straight into the C drive it makes 2 ProSlideshow folders, one inside the other. It wasn't working for me either but I made sure it's just one folder in the C drive with the contents, not folder/folder/then contents.

To convert to DDS the dimensions need to be a multiple of meaning the number of pixels has to be divided evenly (no decimal) by 4.
1920 / 4 = 480 this will work for DDS ![]()
1569 / 4 = 392.25 this won'y work cus it evenly divided ![]()
To quickly resize in windows right click the .jpg then click edit then resize use this pic to help
OfflineCool!! Thanks Glowball1!!! Okay, so I used photoscape to get a 16:9 cut out of a photo then opened it up in ms paint and skimmed off the excess until it was dividable by 4!!! Thanks!! Btw how can I change the name of the p3t file so when I install it into my ps3 I wont have a lot of themes with the proslideshow.p3t name? So far I'm loving this, thanks!
