Cydia repo Icon issues

[Winterboarder]

I'm running my own cydia source for my themes and it works so far. However I cannot get my icon to show up in Cydia. I've tried using the Icon tag in the control file with root path and http path. I also tried the method with the separate icons package that throws my icons in the Cydia.app sources folder, which I think is just a workaround this problem.

I'm a graphic designer, and have limited coding abilities. Does anyone care to share how to do this right?

Thanks

Winterboarder I was wondering the same thing, I've tried numerours searches but still can't figure it out. Hopefully, someone will share their method...

There is a way to do it like ********* with a depends package that installs a icon in the cydia sources folder, but it's just a workaround(Not Recomended). The right way, is to get added to the More Sources list in Cydia. Only Saurik can add a repo to that section in Cydia, and in doing that your icon will be added in the Sources folder inside Cydia. At the moment Cydia does not support icons to be called from an outside source via http only from within via Icon: File:///Applications/Cydia.app/Sources/picname.png.

How do you do this?
