Obviously some glitch between the conversion from GIMP -> Photoshop. I tried it too and got the same results. I'll get right on it. Thanks for letting me know.

EDIT: Problem solved Now Uploading the improved version.

is this windows or mac?

Linux too This is a template for Photoshop, or GIMP. Not a piece of software.

Works like a charm!

Thanks for the prompt response and time resolving the little glitch!

Just downloaded and tested the new template and icons came out just like the tutorial says...with a "professional" look LOL...

Once again, thanks for sharing this with us!

Thank you!

This is the easiest and most professional template I have seen on the web. I was especially happy to see that the links are still active a year later, after the original post.

Okay so I use iFunBox, so where do I place the app once I've made it?

It all depends on what app it is for, and what theme you are using!

[Crystina Stafford]

Okay, so say my phone app, where would I place that app?
I'm not using a theme that changes my apps
