    Angry How TO CHANGE CYDIA Background Wallpaper from PINSTRIPES?

    I HAVE os version 3.1.1 and i made a UI theme and it works halfway. Basically the UIImage shows when I open settings instead of the defualt grey pinstipe but it shows choppy like. Like the image is shown on each line item in settings, and then the main full screen image behind it. Its weird. I wonder if everyone that has done this is running a older version of OS like 3.0 or somthing. It completely doesnt work in cydia, I even went as far as to use iFile to remove the Deault.png file and replace it with my UIImage file and it changes back to the cydia defualt pinstripe right then. I dont get it am I doing somthing worng or do I have a app or somthing conflicting with this acting right. ANyone who has tried this please let me know. thanks Below is the steps I took to change it, and a link to the youtube video to do it.

    1) Make a new folder you can name this aything you want.

    2) Click in to the folder you just made and make another new folder this time you must name it UIImages.

    3) Click on this link and pick a sweet wallpaper.
    ( (( Sciphone )) ) : The best iPhone wallpapers on the Internet. We've got it down to a science. 5100+ wallpapers and over 5 million downloads and counting... experience the best. - Home

    4) You must rename the wallpaper you just downloaded to UIPinstripe

    5) Now drag and drop the wallpaper in to the UIImages folder

    6) Now we need to SSH in to our iPhone/iPod Touch

    7) When you have opend you SSHing tool you must back space once then click stash now drag and drop the folder you have made in to the themes folder you can now activate your theme in winterboard.

    The UIPinstripe is the background behind every link in the settings, the clock, and cydia apps. When they are changed from a repeating pattern to a wallpaper, your device will still think it is a pattern and will try to make it repeat like the default pinstripe. If you use a simple repeating design, you will be fine. Try using a gradient or something

    did something change with cydia where you can no longer change the UIPinstripe.png background of the cydia program? ssh'd into my phone, and dropped wallpapers/UIImages/UIPinstripe.png into stash/Themes, and opened winterboard and selected wallpapers. It changed the background wallpaper for winterboard and settings, however it did not change the cydia background.

    did this change going to iOS 4?
    anyone know how to do this now at 4.0?

    orignaly post by bigorangekitty on xsellize forum i have the same problam
