I was messing around with the theme settings and noticed an "install" option. does this mean i can download themes from the internet and transfer them via usb?

and what about fonts? id like my comments to grab my friends attentions. ive used mandarin text to do that to spell words that look english but its very limited. either way itd be nice to have more font options just for the system itself

you can actually download new themes right from your ps3, just go in the internet browser and go to google and look up, ps3 themes, it should be the first link there, which is a site that you can download themes

Fonts are limited to the ones that are available in the theme section, Original Rounded and Pop. I wish the theme creation was more open, as in being able to upload custom fonts, change the colour and import our own custom audio for trophy pop-ups and such. Mine would be Homer going 'Woohoo' or something.

The font thing irks me too. Some of the dynamic themese just don't go with the fonts provided, making the text difficult to see.

What's better is that you can use PS3ThemeCreator and make your own. Y'know. If you are into that sorta thing.

It's my favorite site for downloading custom themes. Visit the web page from your PS3 and you can download themes directly to your PS3 :)

I second this!! I visit that more than the freaking PSN store when it comes to themes! I probably have download over 50+ themes from there! Matter of fact, I'm rocking a nice UC3 theme someone did from there on PS3 right now. :D

Still I'm w/ others when I say sure as hell wish we had more font and color scheme options. But the one that really always drove me crazy was not having that wavy visual, when you're playing your music, ever changes to reflect the color of the base theme that you use. Like say, your theme's color is yellow, when you play music and use the wavy background it always stays purple! Why they never gave us the option to change that is beyond me.... :(

I'd surely would love to have mines w/ a burgundy wavy backdrop to match the burgundy red on my PS3's profile card (you know the ones that pop up when highlight someone in your Friend's List). OMG, that would be so smexy.

I actually got to a stage where I got a message saying The maximum amount of themes have been installed (something along those lines).

I actually like making my own themes. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it.

Yea, they should try make some more user friendly theme creators for people starting off too.
