WARNING:
~~~~~~~~

1) WORKS ONLY FOR DASHBOARD 4920 (10027100 one)

2) Don't use long file names for your dashboard file,
IT'S NAME MUST IN 8.3 FORMAT,

3) If it don't work, try it on fresh xbe,

4) On some materials you will be not able to modify
one or more of RGBA primitive, don't stress, it's normal
that means that the selected material cannot handle it,

5) The No XIPs Resign Patch only allow you to mod XIPs
files without resigning the dashboard (thx Voltaic) but
you still need to resign after patching using this tool
or when you add a file in a XIP.

6) This program is under high development and still in
alpha stage so i assume know what you are doing....

7) ALLWAYS MAKE SOME BACKUPS !!!

8) It is known that some presets or some colors config
does not work or may have some dash bugs,
(so try to change some and play again!).


Use:
~~~~

1) Put your MS Dash xbe in "Dashs\" directory,
2) Run the proggy,
3) Select a dashboard from "Select Dash XBE" button
4) Modify all what you need,
5) I suggest you to save your own preset,
6) Only two words: "Patch It !"

You will find your new modded dashboard in "ModdedDashs\"
directory.

7) Resign it,
8) Upload it to your bobox,
9) Have Phun !!!


TIPS:
~~~~~

1) All backing colors needs to be darker than other
(for best looking),

2) Alpha stand for transparency ( 0 = transparent
and 255 = opaque )
