Or use the basic background entry (not linked to time from the previous examples) to be displayed permanently and configure some special hours with a specific background like "vampire time", "kids time", etc...

It must comply with these restrictions : | |||
-Textures size max: 15 mb | |||
-Geometry & script size max: 1mb | |||
-Actor size max: 1.20mb | |||
-Actor number max: 128 | |||
-Cameras: 1 | |||

=== | ==XMB color schemes== | ||
The XMB's by default changes his color depending on the current month of the year and brightness depending on the time of day. The color can be configured to "default" (changes every month) or one of the 12 color preconfigured for months, in XMB Settings column ---> Theme settings ---> Color | |||
This change of color affects waves, background, all the icons, and other images like the "side menu", the color is applyed to the originall images like a "color filter" layer over them (note originall icons are semitransparent white to improve this effect) | |||
The background image changes acordingly with the month. The file '''lines.qrc''' contains 24 '''textures_month_bg_*.dds''' images of 64x32 pixels. Each day has 2 different images for "day" and "night". See [[QGL_modding]] | |||
*Speculation | |||
This color setting to apply as a "filter" needs to be stored somewhere :P and probably brightness is stored with it, this is the only code reference we will find to know the exact values used (but the method to apply brighness can be more complicated). At some point it was possible to change the font color in PSP firmwares (this is another "color filter" using the same technique) so is posible similar settings can be used in PS3... the candidate to contain all this easter eggs is '''lines.qrc''', good hunting :) --[[User:Sandungas|Sandungas]] 07:38, 13 February 2013 (MSK) | |||

*Notes | |||
Brighness filters are only used in "original" and "classic" themes, and only when selecting "defaul color" (color changes every month). Is posible to change the brightness of this themes in '''XMB Settings/Theme settings/Background/Brighness''' (normal, -1, -2, -3, -4. -5) | |||
If you apply a theme that contains a background image, and then select "original" or "classic" for the background setting of this theme (to only keep the icons visibles) the background brigness settings are not used | |||
The background images for "night" are inverted vertically (or inverted when displaying in XMB) the .dds images has the dark area at bottom but in ps3 is at top of screen | |||
Brightness changes starts from: 03:00---until--->17:00 (day time) and 18:00---until--->02:00 (night time) | |||

Major color changes occur on the three days before the 15th and 24th of each month, while the color gradually changes between those dates. | |||
