This files contains a list of values that | This files contains a list of numeric values that seems to define the positions, sizes, etc of most/all the items displayed in XMB. Are divided in 4 resolution modes by its heigths: (272, 480, 720, 1080), and its types: (factor, and grid). Factor ones contains less values and seems to be derivated from Grid ones (grid ones are much bigger). | ||

**Some values used by [[RCOXML Objects | **Some values used by [[RCOXML Objects]] are loaded externally to be able to scale the whole XMB interface for different screen resolution modes. Sony was adding more stuff in the XMB along the different firmware versions, and some of this "new" items used this same method, the result is more "override" values was added to the [[XMB Layouts]] .txt files, and as a consequence some of the other "old" values was "displaced" a few lines down in the [[XMB Layouts]] .txt files. This is the reason why in the changelog of custom_render_plugin.rco (and i bet most of the others .rco's using overrides) the value increases just a few units for every new version of the .rco (that units are a few lines that was added for that firmware in the .txt) | ||
**The reason why the new values added in the .txt displaces the old values... is because the list of values inside the .txt are ordered "by rco ownership". First are stored all the values for rco nº1... then all the values for rco nº2... and so on... obviouslly custom_render_plugin is not at top of the list because it stores his values around line 500.

Usually the values from a specific .rco file are stored consecutivelly. But other values could be loaded by several .rco files (as example, the position of ICON0.PNG is used by several firmware functions, every .rco associated with this functions could load the position from the same value, this allows for some coherence when designing XMB and to modify several display settings from different functions by a single change) | |||
