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!

Use a memory stick and in the root [no folders made] made a folder name PS3 inside this folder make one named THEMES and put the file in there.

Go on the ps3 insert the memory stick and go to the theme settings, find the install option and install the theme on your memory stick.
