Theme Settings
Adjust settings to customize the XMB™ screen for items such as the background or the font for on-screen text.
Theme
Set design elements such as icons or background displayed on the XMB™ screen. You can download themes from 
(PlayStation®Store) or from the SCE Web site for your region.
| Install | Install a theme that is saved on storage media onto the hard disk. |
|---|---|
| Original | Set to the original theme. |
| Air Paint | Set to the [Air Paint] theme. |
| (theme name) | Select a theme that is saved on the hard disk. |
Hints
- When a theme is downloaded using a PS3™ system, it is automatically installed after the download is completed.
- When a theme is downloaded using a PC, a folder named [PS3] - [THEME] is created on the storage media, and the theme is stored in this folder. Theme files should be saved with the extension [.P3T].
- A USB adaptor (not included) is required to use storage media with some models of the PS3™ system.
- If a theme file contains multiple backgrounds, the theme background will change randomly.
- An icon that is not part of the theme file will be replaced with another icon in the theme file or will remain as the default XMB™ screen icon.
- PC software is available that allows you to create your own theme files for use on the PS3™ system. (Commercially available software for creation of the graphical elements is also required.) For details, visit the SCE Web site for your region.
