How to Create A Carbon Fiber Background on PS3

The Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3) was released in November 2006. The XrossMediaBar (XMB) is the graphical user interface (GUI) with which players interact when accessing various PS3 functions. The XMB allows for visual customization through the use of themes and backgrounds. Carbon fiber is a popular, dark gray texture used by many of GUIs. A carbon fiber background can be easily transferred to the PS3 with a flash drive and added to the XMB.
