Tutorial
1. Now that you have everything installed, open up rebug toolbox, and navigate to /deb_rebug/vsh/resource/qgl/lines.qrc , now that you have this file, drag it to your desktop.
2. Open this file up in Neo or HxD which ever you perferred and look at the first 8 bytes of your file, copy these, and put them in a notepad somewhere because we will need them later, once they are copied go ahead and proceed to delete the bytes and save the file. (the bytes will either be 51 52 43 43 00 08 79 80 for a PAL Ps3 or 51 52 43 43 00 08 9a e0 for a NTSC Ps3)
3. now go ahead and open up SimplyZip, and click on the external progs option at the top, then select ZLIB, press the button on the right with the three dots, and navigate to your lines.qrc file, select it and make sure that the "decompress" radiobutton is selected, then click start and it should finish fairly fast.
4.(Long Step) Now that we have our "lines" file, we are just going to leave it alone for right now, Open up the colour-settigns.js in Notepad++ and you should see this
You must login or register to view this content.
If you do see this, it is correct. Now, there are a few things you have to know about this, the numbers that are appearing at the top 1 RE
float:1 1 GREEN:float:1 1 BLUE:float:1, and so one. 1 is the top half of your background, 2 is the bottom half of your background, 3 is the left half of your wave, and 4 is the right half of your wave, and in Notepad++, the higher the number, the more intense the color, so i am going to be making a custom lines.qrc with a black background, a red left half and a green right half, now to change these integers. okay so start where ever you want, im just going to start with my background. Copy "1 REfloat:1" without quotes, and then hit Ctrl + F, then click the replace tab, you should see this,
You must login or register to view this content.
make the 1 at the end a "0" then replace all, what we just did is that we have taken all the red out of out background. to make the whole background black, just make all of the 1's and 2's 0, and be sure to replace all when doing so. Now for the lines them selves, since i wanted the left line to be red, we are going to intensify the red of the 3, and again the higher the number, the more intense the color, so copy the color up to the tenths place (First zero after the decimal) then make it a 7.0, that is a good intensity for one color
You must login or register to view this content.
then keep the others, the same, and do the same for whatever color you want on the left side,i chose green so i will do the same for the 4 green, now that its is 7.0 save the file.
5. Now that we finished that monstrous step, we are going to take it easy, open up your lines file and the colour-settings.js in a hex editor, copy the whole entire colour-settings.js by clicking on the first byte and hitting ctrl + a, then go back to your lines file, and hit ctrl+g and go to "000039f0" without the quotes,
You must login or register to view this content.
As long as you see the #MNU, you are fine, if it isnt there just search for it, it should be around somewhere. now click on the first byte in that row, and hit ctrl + v, this will paste the color settings over your current ones. once that is done, make sure that the dots in your file overlap somewhere, and you arent just cutting out text that you need.Just save the file then and we are almost done.
6. Open up SimplyZip again, and find your lines file that you just saved from the hex editor, open it with the button that has the three dots, and make sure "compress" is selected, then compress the file, and it should save as lines.zlp, go ahead and delete the lines.qrc that you have on your desktop or where ever, and rename this most recently repacked lines.zlp to lines.qrc , then open up that lines.qrc in a hex editor, and those bytes that we copied down earlier, select the first byte then paste them in (THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT, IF YOU FAIL THIS STEP, YOU WILL SOFTBRICK), Once they are pasted in be sure to save the file, then transfer it back over in rebug toolbox and filezilla, once that is transferred over, back out of rebug toolbox and you should have yourself a custom lines.qrc

Did the exact same thing you did except that I changed the BLUE color instead of the GREEN one. When I closed REBUG Toolbox my PS3 told me to connect my PS3 controller via USB and then saying that The system software cannot be run correctly and to reinstall my firmware. Im on 4.50ita spoofed to 4.60. I made a backup of the lines.qrc. Hope I didnt fuck up totally. Hope somebody can help me. Thanks

You probably forgot to add the bytes back in at the end, but to fix that problem all you have to do is reinstall the firmware you were just on. then you will have to reinstall CCAPI also. if you need any help my skype is TehOverride

I just read in another forum that you cant use the premade lines in the colour-settings.js because they can be different on other firmwares, maybe thats what caused the problem, anyway, going to reinstall 4.50ita now, thanks. Ill let u know if it worked.
Edit: I added the bytes at the end. Successfully reinstalled my firmware, thanks again for the quick help. Its easy to find out if it was the wrong lines of the colour-settings.js which I pasted in the lines file. Gonna try it tomorrow.

Now for the lines them selves, since i wanted the left line to be red, we are going to intensify the red of the 3, and again the higher the number, the more intense the color, so copy the color up to the tenths place (First zero after the decimal) then make it a 7.0, that is a good intensity for one color

then keep the others, the same, and do the same for whatever color you want on the left side,i chose green so i will do the same for the 4 green, now that its is 7.0 save the file.
5. Now that we finished that monstrous step, we are going to take it easy, open up your lines file and the colour-settings.js in a hex editor, copy the whole entire colour-settings.js by clicking on the first byte and hitting ctrl + a, then go back to your lines file, and hit ctrl+g and go to "000039f0" without the quotes,

As long as you see the #MNU, you are fine, if it isnt there just search for it, it should be around somewhere. now click on the first byte in that row, and hit ctrl + v, this will paste the color settings over your current ones. once that is done, make sure that the dots in your file overlap somewhere, and you arent just cutting out text that you need.Just save the file then and we are almost done.
6. Open up SimplyZip again, and find your lines file that you just saved from the hex editor, open it with the button that has the three dots, and make sure "compress" is selected, then compress the file, and it should save as lines.zlp, go ahead and delete the lines.qrc that you have on your desktop or where ever, and rename this most recently repacked lines.zlp to lines.qrc , then open up that lines.qrc in a hex editor, and those bytes that we copied down earlier, select the first byte then paste them in (THIS STEP IS IMPORTANT, IF YOU FAIL THIS STEP, YOU WILL SOFTBRICK), Once they are pasted in be sure to save the file, then transfer it back over in rebug toolbox and filezilla, once that is transferred over, back out of rebug toolbox and you should have yourself a custom lines.qrc

Ok tried it again and it worked and my assumption was right. The colour-settings.js has different parameters as the ones in my lines file. I changed the things I needed directly in the lines file, no need for the colour-settings.js. However, nice tutorial. You never stop learning. This actually was the first time in 3 years that I semi-bricked/bricked someone's PS3.

Tutorial
1. Now that you have everything installed, open up rebug toolbox, and navigate to /deb_rebug/vsh/resource/qgl/lines.qrc , now that you have this file, drag it to your desktop.
2. Open this file up in Neo or HxD which ever you perferred and look at the first 8 bytes of your file, copy these, and put them in a notepad somewhere because we will need them later, once they are copied go ahead and proceed to delete the bytes and save the file. (the bytes will either be 51 52 43 43 00 08 79 80 for a PAL Ps3 or 51 52 43 43 00 08 9a e0 for a NTSC Ps3)
3. now go ahead and open up SimplyZip, and click on the external progs option at the top, then select ZLIB, press the button on the right with the three dots, and navigate to your lines.qrc file, select it and make sure that the "decompress" radiobutton is selected, then click start and it should finish fairly fast.
4.(Long Step) Now that we have our "lines" file, we are just going to leave it alone for right now, Open up the colour-settigns.js in Notepad++ and you should see this

If you do see this, it is correct. Now, there are a few things you have to know about this, the numbers that are appearing at the top 1 REfloat:1 1 GREEN:float:1 1 BLUE:float:1, and so one. 1 is the top half of your background, 2 is the bottom half of your background, 3 is the left half of your wave, and 4 is the right half of your wave, and in Notepad++, the higher the number, the more intense the color, so i am going to be making a custom lines.qrc with a black background, a red left half and a green right half, now to change these integers. okay so start where ever you want, im just going to start with my background. Copy "1 REfloat:1" without quotes, and then hit Ctrl + F, then click the replace tab, you should see this,
