Sorry I haven't had a whole lot of free time over the last few days to look at errors. Feel free to email me (philipbrown77 (at) hotmail (dot) com) a zipped folder with all your images and I will import and send the back as soon as I can...

Yesterday I have installed Mac OS X 10.5.4 on a Powerbook. I have installed X11, X11SDK, XCodeTool (part of xcode_3.0 from the Apple site). I have secure followed your manual in this article and I am happy to tell everything works fine! I have successful changed the Other.artwork file and the other 3 artwork files too! Importing and exporting was very fast.

With Firmware 1.1.4 I often used Artworker 1.1.4 but that program does not work with the three artwork files in UIKit.framework with Firmware 2.0.

Thanks for this manual !

(1. The reason it did not work earlier is that I tried your manual on a PowerMac G5 with Mac OS-X 10.4.11 installed. A warning if you try to install on Mac OS-X 10.4 would be nice.

2. I got two errors status 1 during installing py25.pil with the Macports on the Powerbook with Mac OS-X 10.5.4 but it did not effect the artwork files. If somebody is interested I can email the log-file during installing in the Terminal)

i hope everyone that want to gets to see this post. it helped me make the final two changes that make my iphone feel like my own finally; removing the black bar on the lock screen, and those glaring page circles on the springboard... (other-227, other-266, other-267...)

[tonhaarmans]

It looks like XCodeTools 3.0 or 3.1 have to be installed if you use a Mac with Mac OS-X 10.5. If you have not installed this, you cannot not follow this manual.

You cannot make images 227, 266 and 267 complete transparant, in that case they will appear complete white on the springboard. You can paint a transparant image with a black brush while you have chosen an opacity of 1%. In that case they do not appear white on the springboard. Image 28 in the MobilePhonePackedImages.artwork is also an image that you should not make complete transparant.

I have desaturated most of the knobs, keyboards and bars.

First, great job, great tutorial.
Second, sorry if posted in wrong group.

Can get everything to work (upload, download of art files, etc). However I can not figure out how to save my edited images with the layers correctly in order for them to show properly. I read the part about transparent staying transparent and adding 1 black layer (w/Adobe) setting the fill to 1 or 0. I cant figure this out using Gimp (win-2.4.6). Any help would be greatly appreciated or pointing me in the right direction.

I have an artwork file that i want to place on my phone but it is on my computer and does not come up on my customize list of artworks how can i get it on my phone from my PC or mac i know the folder is /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework/ and i just replace it but what program do i use to do so on pc and or mac iam runing 2.0 and the artwork is for 2.0 PLEASE HELP...Thanks!

[cyrusthevirus]

could u make one with transparent bar on lock screen but with black bar for the apps please?

[thegrau]

Thanks a lot for this guide, very well done. It's always great to see some people sharing their kowledge and helping other users.

Still, I'm on Vista and, unfortunately, I couldn't get Iphoneshop or the command line to work.

All I want, is about the same thing as cyrus upthere, but ONLY the lockscreen bar transparent. I managed to find one, but it has been modified for Winterboard and I lost the icons rounded corners (wich is not very pretty, and I don't feel like modding every icon for each app I'll install)...

If anyone could get me a simple transparent bar on lockscreen, that would be wonderful.

[cyrusthevirus]

for winterboard not to mod ur icons add this to ur info.plist file
<key>ComposeStoreIcons</key>
<true/>

hope it helps

If I update FW 2.0 to FW 2.0.1 can I still use this program? If Apple did change only one png-file within aan artwork-file this program will not work anymore. I wonder if any of the 4 artwork-files have changed form FW 2.0 to FW 2.0.1. In that way I will not update tot FW 2.0.1.

thegrau - PM me your email address, and i'll send you the Other.artwork with a transparent bar.

tonhaarmans - I copied my Other.artwork file from 2.0 to 2.0.1 all seems to work fine.

[tonhaarmans]

I have updated my Firmware from FW 2.0 to FW.2.0.1.
I have noticed that the 4 artwork files have not changed. The guide that Killian made, can be used too with all 4 artwork files in FW. 2.0.1

[NotInUse]

Is anyone willing to simply extract the images from Other.artwork and then zip them and email them to me? Perhaps that and the keyboard-common.artwork file?

EDIT : Never mind.. I got them...
