If you want some advice, use Paint.NET, which natively supports .DDS images. When you save your .DDS, chose "DXT5 (interpolated Alpha)" with "Iterative Fit (Slowest/HQ)". These settings gives you the best quality while keeping the file size exactly the same as the original DDS.

You can also make your theme use the default XMB icons. Just delete the whole "<icon>, </icons>" tags in the XML file of the base theme you're editing!

Your issue is that you are not saving the file correctly.

Remember to save as DDS with these settings or you will get an error.

DXT5 ARGB 8 bpp | interpolated alpha
and mark the box for "no MIP maps.

Good luck bro.
