After struggling myself trying to work out how to open the Other.artwork file on the 2.0 firmware I have decided to put together a small guide.
Edit now for Windows and Mac Scroll down for Mac guide.
The Other.artwork file contains
http://www.modmyi.com/forums/skinnin...dit-phone.html. Though some are out of date now on 2.0, most importantly for me in the black bar across the top on the lock screen.
Windows
Required files:
iPhoneShop2.0
iphone20-artwork.py Though must be saved as "iphone20-artwork.py"
Other.artwork from your iPhone (you will have to have a jailbroken iPhone and have ssh installed. The file can be found in /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework)
Create a new folder in C:/ called iphone
In this folder create a new folder called "img"
Download all the required files from the links above and save them to C:/iphone.
Open iPhoneShop
Click Install Python
This will open a download window in your default browser
Save and Run the file
Use the default settings
Now that Python is installed copy the script "iphone20-artwork.py" to "C

Python25\Scripts" (Note keep a copy in "C

iphone"to)
Go back to iPhoneShop and you will see that the install Python button is grey and the Install Python Imaging Library is now active
Click "Install Python Imaging Library"
This will open a download window in your default browser
Save and Run the file
Again use the default settings
Now we need to tell windows how to find Python
Right Click "My Computer" and select "Properties"
Select the "advanced" tab
Click "Environmental Variables"
In the second view, "System Variables" scroll down and select "Path".
Once highlighted click "Edit"
In the popup that opens scroll to the far right.
Add the following text ";C

Python25" without the quotes that is.
Now we need to tell Python how to find the scripts
Open regedit (start run and type in "regedit" without the quotes)
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Python\PythonCore\2.5\
Right-click on "PythonPath" and choose to create a new key.
In the right hand panel right click your new key and select "Modify"
Type "C

Python25\Scripts" again without the quotes
Click "OK"
You can now try going back to iPhoneShop to extract the files but I was faced with an error message when selected Other.artwork from the drop down. The developer is planning an update in the near future.
So I will continue without using iPhoneShop.
Edit: If you do use iPhoneShop to extract your files the images will be in the format other-extraced-###.png these will have to be renamed other-###.png for you to be able to use the import details below. (Thanks Strider)
Open Command Prompt Windows key + R and type cmd or Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt
Change to the directory c:/iphone
Now to export the files type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -export Other.artwork ./img
Hit enter to run
All the images have now been extracted to the folder "C:/iphone/img", you can edit these in your favorite image editing tool. Make sure that you save the images back to the img folder overriding the old files.
Once you have changed all the files you wanted to we have to import them back into the Other.artwork file. So head back to Command Prompt.
If you closed command prompt head back to C

iphone
then type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -import Other.artwork ./img Other.artwork
Hit enter to run
Now the Other.artwork has your changed images, SSH the file back to /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework (I would suggest making a backup of the Other.artwork file before you override it)
Once uploaded reboot your iPhone to see the changes.
Mac
Required Files:
Python 2.5
Python Imaging Library
MacPorts
iphone20-artwork.py Though must be saved as "iphone20-artwork.py"
Other.artwork from your iPhone (you will have to have a jailbroken iPhone and have ssh installed. The file can be found in /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework)
Start by creating a folder in the root of your Mac called "iphone"
Put the "Other.artwork" file and "iphone20-artwork.py" into the new folder
Create a folder in "iphone" called "img" (without the quotes)
Install MacPorts using the default settings:
Install Python 2.5 using the default settings:
Install Python Imaging Library using the default settings:
Now we have to register the Python Imaging Library
Open terminal and Type:
sudo /opt/local/bin/port install py25-pil
Now we should have the Mac ready for exporting.
Open terminal and navigate to the iphone folder
Type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -export Other.artwork ./img
Hit return to run
All the images have now been extracted to the folder "iphone/img", you can edit these in your favorite image editing tool. Make sure that you save the images back to the img folder overriding the old files.
Once you have changed all the files you wanted to we have to import them back into the Other.artwork file.
Open up terminal
Make sure that you are in the iphone folder as before
Type:
python ./iphone20-artwork.py -import Other.artwork ./img Other.artwork
Hit enter to run
Now the Other.artwork has your changed images, SSH the file back to /System/Library/Frameworks/UIKit.framework (I would suggest making a backup of the Other.artwork file before you override it)
Once uploaded reboot your iPhone to see the changes.
If you would like is the Other.artwork file with the black bar transparent drop me a pm with your email and I will send it to you.
