Hey guys, whats up, since NGU has retarded rules on how i have to be elite to have a service, ill just release me tut and help the community.
Things you need
1. Rebug Toolbox (You must login or register to view this content.)
2. Notepad++ (You must login or register to view this content.)
3. Hex Editor Neo or HxD (You must login or register to view this content. Or You must login or register to view this content.)
4. SimplyZip (You must login or register to view this content.)
5. colour-settings.js (You must login or register to view this content.)
6. FileZilla (You must login or register to view this content.)
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 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, 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
Video Tut:
Congrats, and sorry for the centered text, im not that good at designing threads,
Creds to Glowball for doing this first and releasing it, and Me for rewriting and adding a little more explanation
Remember that if you have a question, please come to me, i will be more than glad to help you, if you dont ask me the question, i cant help you prevent softbrick
Oh and BTW, heres my background You must login or register to view this content.
I would definately do that, thanks for this customization method.
I have some more that i am going to be releasing also here pretty soon, like Custom epilepsy warning text, custom XMB text, text color, and some others

Yeah I tried this...and I soft bricked my ps3....then when I tried reinstalling my CFW...It fried my hard drive
If you used my tut, you probably forgot to add the 8 bytes back in at the end, if you didnt use my tut, you probably used a premade lines.qrc which wasnt your ps3's region
The following user thanked Dacoco for this useful post:

Can you please upload a video tutorial? Complicated at the part with editing the color settings.js, However Can you please also add pre-made lines.qrc and specify what its region and warn people that if they had another region it would lead for a soft brick.. How can I find my ps3 region (sorry for this noob question but I didn't know it has a region)

i could try to upload a video, and to find the region, its on a sticker on the bottom of your ps3, notice i said bottom, not the back, it will tell you your model number and your region(either PAL or NTSC), i may add premade ones, id have to think about it
