With the new Xbox 360 Premium Themes, the background is not the only thing that is being changed. Your friends have a unique item behind them as you scroll. It's hard to find an example at present time but look for pics from google at other premium themes and you will see the difference. To answer you question you can still change the background, but only the top half will show. You have to use a non-Premium theme to just change the background. Then the freinds section will have the new 360 premium look to it. To do this just go to my xbox, then go one slide to the right where you see your avatar. From that menu you will see change theme. Here you will find your old themes that you have before the new experience. Hope this helps.
First, check whether what you've done matches this -
Right click -> Personalise -> Themes -> Browse
If yes, then it's probably Windows. Perhaps it's limited to certain formats, and doesn't let you use anything outside of its permitted range. Sorry, I'm not too knowledgeable about this.
But, I can tell you, after learning about optimizing computer performance, this is something you do not want to do. If you want to keep your computer performance the same way even after a few years of use, especially with a laptop, you'd want to minimise visual effects your computer use. Sure, it might look nice, but soon, when you're confronted with speed vs. looks, I'm pretty sure you'd resort to using your good old vista theme, and even that isn't too perforrmance friendly.
If you're interested in optimizing your computer's performance, you can follow the following step:
Start menu -> Control Panel -> Performance Information and Tools -> Adjust visual effects (on the side) -> Adjust for best performance
The skin sucks, but it saves up a whole load of RAM, which you'll come to appreciate in the years to come.
I'd also recommend you go through the sequence of the tasks in the performance information and tools panel on the side, you know, the disk defragmentor, disk cleanup and so on.
Of course, if you're an IT pro, you can use BIOS to tweak features here and there, but BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING BEFORE YOU DO THAT. Tried it once. Disastrous. Lucky I kept a log of what I changed or else I don't know what I could have done to my poor laptop. One change can cause a Dominoes effect to a whole bunch of other features. You'd want to have an IT pro beside you telling you what you should do, preferably someone you trust as well.
its really not worth it because there are thousands of free psp themes on the web wich are preety cool (much better than those psn store themes)
*if you have a regular psp without cfw (custom firmware) : serach for PTF themes (this is just an example try googling) http://pspslimhacks.com/ptf-psp-themes/
these themes just like the psn stores just change the icons but keep the theme in place)
*if you have cfw hacked/modded psp : search for CTF or flash0 or RCO themes (these are way better than the ptf or psn store themes because they have different places to put the icons and styles) example: http://dna-clan.forumfree.net/?t=29073208
