This is a quick tutorial on how to change any of your dynamic themes background everytime your PS3 is switched on or everytime your PS3 XMB is re-loaded. It's just like creating a HD/SD theme which has different backgrounds.

You will need the following:

1. p3textractor.exe ( http://www.ps3-themes.com/theme-extractor )
2. p3tcompiler.exe version 1.80.0.0 (find in dynamic them editor's "Tools" folder)
3. A variety of dynamic backgrounds(Anim_1.jpg) you want to use

Create or download a dynamic theme which you want to add more backgrounds to and extract it with p3textractor.exe (drag and drop). I am going to use a variety of Mortal Kombat dynamic backgrounds(Anim_1.jpg files) as an example.

All you need to do is edit the .xml file (I use WordPad). In the bgimagetable section, Copy the line with <bgimage anim="Anim_1.jpg"/> and paste underneath so there are now 2 lines of the same information. note that they have to be in line with each other as the page reads down (see snippet). Do this as many times as you like I think you can have up to 8 though(not tested more).

Here is a snippet of the .xml file I created.

*******<bgimagetable>
**************<bgimage anim="Jade.jpg"/>
**************<bgimage anim="Ermac.jpg"/>
**************<bgimage anim="SubZero.jpg"/>
**************<bgimage anim="UnoffcialMK.jpg"/>
**************<bgimage anim="Scorpion.jpg"/>
**************<bgimage anim="LiuKang.jpg"/>
*******</bgimagetable>

* = Spacing (Blank space do not use *)

As you can see I re-named all of the dynamic backgrounds(Anim_1.jpg) files so I know which background is which (won't load just 1 background). It doesn't matter what you name them but keep the .jpg extension. Also each "bgimage anim" has to stay within the "bgimagetable". Once complete save the .xml file then drag the .xml file on to the p3tcompiler.exe. It should then create a .p3t file in the same folder.

Please note you can have Anim_1.jpg files from different styles of dynamic backgrounds. But you can't use original Anim_1.jpg files. If you wish to use an original Anim_1.jpg file(like Heavy Rain) just run the original images through the dynamic theme editor and copy the Anim_1.jpg file from ...\Dynamic Theme Editor\Theme Files\Heavy Rain. (only tested in HD)

If you create a theme which crashes your XMB, just go to the recovery menu and click option "2. Restore Default Settings". This will not delete any data, it makes your theme the "original" one (it also resets your wi-fi settings though).

Here is a link to some themes I created http://www.ps3-themes.com/?s=glowball . MDT's(Multi Dynamic Themes) are the dynamic themes with multiple backgrounds.

Good luck
