You aren't contributing to anything, and you're always so negative.

This site doesn't support ANY illegal actions of any kind, and supporting torrents is illegal.

You never post anything contributing, or positive.
and you can think whatever you want about other people, but it doesn't always make it true.

I think its about time to block you for a while.

Cheer up Charlie.

Red splatter or green swirl is the best.

So I made a quick theme for you and made a video.
I can have 4 images.

1 for Main Dash.
1 for Media Library(video and music)
1 for Game Library
and 1 for System Settings.

HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJei0YMsie0) is the video.

EDIT I made one anyway because ive never personally made a theme and wanted to see how it came out xD

Secret xbox mod tools :p
nah its a mod tool for xbox called modio.

really easy to use, but I dont recommend screwing around with the other stuff unless you know what you're doing xD

If you have a flash drive, I would be happy to show you how to make one.

Here is a screenshot

No problem.
I have a college orientation from 9am-2pm mountain tomorrow so I will help later if you like.

A video tut might be a bit complex, some of the kids that do this have NO clue what they are doing. they just watch a video then repost another tut.
Most people learned this stuff from people like me.
