;File Copying
* Copy the following files from your '''1888-dash''' folder into your '''metro dash''' directory:
** <code>xenonkjlatin.xtt</code>
** <code>xenonclatin.xtt</code>
 
;File Renaming
Both <code>$flash_SegoeXbox-Light.xtt</code> and <code>XenonSCLatin.xtt</code> should be there by default before you begin. Inside your '''metro dashboard''' directory, locate <code>$flash_SegoeXbox-Light.xtt</code> and rename it to: <code>SegoeXbox-Light.xtt</code><br>
*Locate the <code>.xttp</code> files already present in your metro dashboard directory and rename them exactly as follows:
** Rename <code>$flash_xenonclatin.xttp</code> to <code>XenonCLatin.xttp2</code>
** Rename <code>$flash_xenonjklatin.xttp</code> to <code>XenonJKLatin.xttp2</code>
