ok... Im getting close... I have found the actual app folder with the icon for the app.. the icon itself is named "icon". If I use a custom icon and replace it there, it works but its not an orb icon. Im confused as to how I get it to look like all the other orb icons... Am I making sense?

You need to photoshop your image into a blank orb.

I would love to see more features: dial pad, notes, music player, slider, battery, etc.

As showstopper already mentioned, go to the root folder, then library>themes>glass orb color>icons...that is where all the glass orb colored icons are located...however, you will need a blank orb if u want to create orbs for yourself and I didn't include one..but, i'm sure you ca find one floating around mmi somewhere if u look hard enough..lol ...I'll attach one in my first post.

Im a photoshop noob as well im afraid. Check this link though - writer111 - Creating a Glass Orb - Photoshop Tutorial

No...Im hust looking to use an icon thats been posted. I have found where the icon is for the specific app i want to replace. i have found were all the Glass Orb icons are located. What I dont get is the replacing part of the equation. Example.. I have an Ebay app. It has an icon in it named "icon". If I replace that one with a custom one it still doesnt show up "orbed". Obviously, I cant have a million icons in the library>themes>glass orb color>icons
folder all named "icon"... where is the correlation between the icons listed in library>themes>glass orb color>icons to the ACTUAL icon in the app.. God I hope Im making sense here..

Yes thats right.

Your not making total sense but i get you now!
You are looking in the wrong place. The default image name in the app is called icon.png. You need to edit the icons in library>themes>glass orb color>icons

So for example add your ebay.PNG to there and reload winterboard and it should appear.

@ toyvan - will you be making an sbsettings set?

[Cirtess]

Still not getting it...ugh. OK, I'll try to explain my problem again..

I can add custom icons till Im blue in the face to library>themes>glass orb color>icons but that still doesnt change the icon on my springboard for that particular app.Example..my Ebay app has an icon called icon.png I put a custom Ebay icon in
the library>themes>glass orb color>icons folder. How do I tell the app to use that icon? If I put the custom icon in the actual ebay app folder it still uses the one called "icon.png" not "ebay.png"
Am I making more sense?

Once again, as showstopper ALREADY mentioned, u rename the icon u created to the name of the app as it appears on your phone...for example, eBay.png(case sensitive)...put it in the "Icons" folder that is within the "Glass Orb Color" folder, respring/restart your phone and the changes will appear...ALSO, make sure you have the Glass Orb Color theme selected in winterboard...

You're welcome! However, u also neglected to READ my first post on how to correctly request icons...

[showstopper]

Is it cheeky to request an SBSettings icon set?!

[dthomp22]

"**ALL OF THE ICONS I CREATE WILL NOT BE ATTACHED ANYWHERE IN THESE THREADS! THEY WILL BE UPLOADED DIRECTLY TO CYDIA IN FUTURE UPDATES!!**

Also, please make note of the paypal donation link below. Although donations are not required they are greatly appreciated, especially from those of you who will be coming in with a list of 50+ icon requests at one time and would like to have them yesterday . Those who give donations will get priority!"


ohhhh missed this part lol sorry TV... noted..

There already is a Glass Orb theme for SBSettings available on Cydia, but it is for my original Glass Orb theme and is not in color..I'll more than likely be making one in color to match this one in the near future

[Cirtess]

TY both showstopper and toyvan...finally got it. When you said rename icon to name on phone, i was understanding it to be the name that its listed under in the actual folder NOT the NAME ON THE PHONE... whatever...works fine now..appreciate all the help from both of you.

[Godrigos]

Well my firsts colored icons, soon I'll post more.
