InstructionsYou can try out your design ideas on all files by the same way, except the Splash Screen which is totally free to customize however you want.
1. Open one of the three PSD files (except the SPLASH Screen.psd) in Adobe Photoshop.
2. You will find these layers in all of the files. Note that there are three layers with red flags. Those are the customizable layers that you can play with.
3. First try to change the background images. Double click on the pictograph of the layer called “Background color”. (Click exactly on the small picture next to the layer name, NOT on the layer name.)
4. A new screen will come up with only one layer which contains the blurry background image.
5. You can use the existing image in different colors or you can use
your own background design. If you use your own design we recommend to choose blurry pictures with similar lightness everywhere unless the texts could be difficult to read on same pages. Just simply paste your design image on top of the existing layer.

Instructions6. If you choose to recolor the existing background image click on the
“Background color” layer and open the Image / Adjustment / Hue/Saturation... menu or click CTRL+U.
7. Check the box next to the Colorize label on the bottom right corner of the window than play with the Hue, the Saturation and the Lightness levels until you find the desired color combination. When you are finished click the OK button.
8. If you like what you see just close this window and click Yes when it asks if you want to save it or not.
9. Now change the system color of the App. Find the “System color”
layer and double click on the small pictogram next to the layer name.
10.A new window will open again when you will see only one layer and a screen filled with only one color. Changing this color here will change all the colored elements in the original file.
11.Double click on the small pictogram next to the layer name to bring up the color chooser tool.
12.Note down the color code of the original blue color if you want to revert everything to the originals later: 15c3d1. Now play with the colors and click OK when you find something you like.
