hey thanks for the reply, ive went ahead and fixed it to my liking

i have a few more questions about this theme, perhaps some minor tweaks, i tried doing it myself but when i loaded my version of the skin, nothing had changed, so i must have done something wrong, but this is what i did to make it a tiny bit better visually

on all the tabs that are green with the white logos, i tried to make the white part look more crisp, i thought i could do that by loading up the green tab background which was 222x222 pixels, and then layer the white over that, see what fit nicely, then resized the actual white logo to match, so when you looked on the dash at the tabs, they would be normal size looking, and now squished and pixelated

(did that make sense?)

i then tried the same approach with the arcade tab, took the original background but wrapped it over a 222x222 square, sure i lost parts of the bmx'ers leg and half the car etc, but i wanted it to look more filled out, instead of squished and fitted in a box thats too small

then i took the arcade white logo and matched the sizes so that it would layer over the arcade tile, because i'm assuming the skin uses the background then uses the white as a layer, and its not one flat image (again, does this make sense?)

i then made a 222x222 green xbox1 square with a white xbox over it, fitted etc

finally i removed the games background, the one that shows the xbox 360 cases, as its pretty pixelated, and i replaced it with a green tile and had the white controller icon over it

i assumed i did everything correctly, but when i 'built' the xzp file, it was like nothing changed

any tips?

thanks!
