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!

Okay like i said i'm not the smartest guy around, So maybe someone can help me.
I've installed Dynamic editor and the DDS plug-in.
So i can't even get past step 1 where you click open to open the images,
it would pop-up a error message saying...
"Could not complete your request because, it is not the right kind of document"
Can someone help me?

Make sure you have unpacked the whole set of files to one folder.

Ahh, I thought you meant the theme creator not PS. Well now you can get to having fun.

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.
