Improved Dashboard Customization

This is a little step by step guide to making a Theme for the Xbox360
* not tested on the new Xbox dashboard Nov. 4

Warning: YOU ALWAYS RISK THE CHANCE OF GETTING BANNED BUT IT IS UNLIKELY!!!

Things you will need:
1. USB Flash Drive (If it is your first time using it on Xbox then you will have to configure it with however much memory you want it to have)
2. WinRaR http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (usually it is the 32 bit)
3. USBXTAFGUI(For USB flash drive) http://www.filestube...08603e9/go.html
4 Modio http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JHKRAIQJ

Step 1:
(Sorry for no pictures at this first part) Firstly, go to your system settings on your xbox which can be found by pressing the big X in the middle of your controller and going to the right twice. With your USB plugged in go to your hardrive and find your themes by clicking Memory -> themes -> then you need to have a Theme on there. (I'd just pick a free one off there if you have one) Move your Theme over to the USB Flash Drive then unplug it and stick it in your computer. (Close it for now until I tell you to open it again.)

Step 2:
Open up Modio and click the big button in the upper left hand corner. Find where it says 'Other Tools' and then from 'Other Tools' it will say 'Theme Creator'. Click 'Theme Creator'. Look at the spoiler for a picture.

Step 3:
Load whatever themes into whatever category you want, name it, then click Save Theme and save it to desktop. Click spoiler for Picture.

Step 4:
Once you have saved it to your desktop, there should be a file on your desktop with the name you just saved it as. Open up USBXTAFGUI and click file then open device. Click the spoiler, and you should have a screen like this.

Spoiler:

Step 4-1: Or save it to the USB and inject it into the xbox and open content this way...way shorter

Step 5:
Once that is done then click on 0. {dir}Content then click on the one that says 1. {dir}0000000000000000. Click the spoiler to see what it should look like.

Spoiler:

After that keep clicking all the way until you can't click any farther. It should look like this.

Spoiler:

Your numbers most likely won't look the same as mine, but the point is, is that you have something there whether it's the name of your Theme or random numbers like mine. That is the Theme that you saved there at the beginning. Listen carefully to this part! DRAG THE FILE INTO USBXTAFGUI, BUT MAKE SURE THAT YOU SAVE IT UNDER THE Theme YOU ALREADY HAVE IN THERE!!!

Step 6: (Sorry but from here on out you need to read super carefully because I don't have pictures)Once you are on your Xbox go back to System Settings -> Memory then this time go to your Flash Drive -> themes (There should now be 2 themes in there) -> and move your original Theme back to your hardrive along with your new Theme if you did it right.
