This is a video tutorial of how to change your PS3 xmb wave colour. I would say that it's not really for beginners but if you have eyes and a brain you should be fine lol.

This is what can be achieved by following Part 1 and 2. You can download the pack in the video here http://www.mediafire.com/?q0h9n9kt4c3uccu and https://rapidshare.com/files/1700487..._Wave_Pack.zip. Use README.TXT for install help.

4. Insert lines.zlp 8 byte hex start/PAL lines.zlp 8 byte hex start with hex editor
5. Copy to your dev_flash with multiman's file manager

**ADDITIONAL INFO**

The colour is measured in Red Green Blue (RGB) format. The way the values work for each is similar but not the same. I use simple maths to get more colours like this

First go here http://www.december.com/html/spec/colorper.html this will show the RGB colour as a percenatge.

The value of 3.0 = 100%

So for the colour truepurple rgb(60%, 0%, 60%)

The values would be

3 RED:float:1.8
3 GREEN:float:0.0
3 BLUE:float:1.8
4 RED:float:1.8
4 GREEN:float:0.0
4 BLUE:float:1.8

The background colours night-**.dds are the original colours which change every month. They are also the colours when the PS3 starts-up (coldboot), so change the current month to change the coldboot background.

The background colours rgb-**.dds are the selection colours in theme settings. You can use this to have a variety of backgrounds/patterns to suit your coloured wave.

As always have fun and enjoy
