This is the official thread for the documentation of the layouts/resources section in iPodWizard.

---------------------------
Basics
---------------------------
Scheme layouts- These resources determine which images, strings, fonts, and menus are displayed where and when.
Menus- The contents of all menus on the iPod and how they react. These can be modified to change the function of certain menus.
Font Types- How characters are displayed. These control font color, text size, alignment, etc.
Command Tables- At the current moment, it is not completely configured but decides the basic reactions of actions.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Hexadecimal System
--------------------------------------------------------------
Everything in a firmware binary is made of hexadecimal numbers. The hex system contain the numbers 0 – 9 and the letters A – F, in which A is 11 and F is 15. Hex is generally used as shorthand for binary, which is simply zeros and ones.
For more information
Hex color explanation
A hex color code is made up of red, green, blue, and opacity components. it is composed of 32 bits (4 bytes) it is displayed like this:
AA BB CC FF
The AA is an example of how much red is shown in an image. The higher the # the more of that color there is. You have to blend the three primary colors together to make your color.
For all hex color codes:
The first byte (AA) is the red component.
The second byte (BB) is the green component.
The third byte (CC) is the blue component.
The fourth byte (DD) is the opacity component.
Black is: 00 00 00 FF. This is a special case.
Finally, the iPod does not seem to support varying degrees of opacity. Therefore, it is advisable to always end your hex color codes in FF.
Here is a link to a basic hex color chart: http://www.johncfish.com/bggallery/o...t/hextable.gif

Values
--------------------
ID: This determines what the resource is and what it refers to.
Type: determines the type of resource, such as an image, another resource, a string, a command, etc.
paMB: image
rtS: string
lntC: command/control
enoN: resource
stsT: collection of strings *1
mtD: currently unknown
Notice how the words are reversed (paMB -> BMap, rtS -> Str, etc)
top- Refers to how far from the top of the screen that an image is placed
left- Refers to how far from the right side of the screen an image is
bottom/right- How much room an image is allowed to take up in that direction.
The titlebar text is an exception:
While the top and left values control the positioning of the titlebar image, the bottom and right values control the positioning of the titlebar text. It is based on an (x, y) coordinate system. The top right hand corner is the origin. Therefore:
bottom: how far from the top the text is
right: how far from the left the text is

The Selector Bar
----------------------------------------
Any resource that has a z3 value ending in 4 is a selector bar resource.
bottom - Size of selector bar (vertically)
z5- Main color of selector bar
z6- Gradient color of selector bar
Right- Refers to how far from the left side of the screen the selector bar and text is for a particular menu
Left- (mostly theory) Refers to the distance between lines of characters are in complete pixels, not just from top to bottom. The number must be divisible by three. Primarily, the number is 3. When altered, it gaps up the background. There is currently no practical use for this value
Top (needs correction): May refer to the distance the scroll bar moves down the screen before it shifts the menus up.
I know that the selector bar hack tutorial has different resources highlighted here, but if you are using iPW 1.3.0.7, these values are correct.
-------------------------------------------
Font Color Change
-------------------------------------------
Values:
Code:
fontID: ID of the font z1: Unknown Font Size: Size of the font. Make sure the font being used is available in that size. z2: Hex color z3 – Justification 0x0: Left 0x1: Center 0x2: Right
To change font color:
Click on the RGB value of the font, type in the hex color in the input box, and click replace. Make sure your entry mode is set to “Hex”

Basic Tutorials
-------------------------------------
To make area around progress bar transparent:
For resources -346 and 24541:
Change the first enoN’s value from 2560 to 2561.
Change all z1’s and z4’s to 0
In 24541: change all paMB ID links to 0
Tutorial contributed by cheeseofdoom86
To change menu alignments:
-279: The second resource. Top value is distance of menu from top of the screen. Bottom value is the distance of the menu from the bottom. This value must be negative. Left and right values control the distances from the sides, but right values must be negative as well.

To change the font of a certain string:
z7: For all rtS resources, this value controls the ID of the font type resource used. Currently, iPW does not display this value correctly; it displays it in hex, rather than in a decimal.

To resize images:

There is currently no clear tutorial for resizing images. Only attempt to do so if you are experienced with compiling programs, using the command line, and iPod modding.
