App store "TWC" Question
If anyone has used TWC (The weather Channel) you might have noticed the icon is kinda weird like The bottom Half is shinny then the other have is dull. Even if you change the icon to something different this still happeny anyone know how to get around this? Its the last thing so i can finish my theme thanks in advance.

Apple applies that "glare" to all icons in the appstore when they are submitted. It gets added on install.
I you change the icon with Winterboard it shouldnt do this though.
Otherwise, I think there is some type of .plist edit you can do to get rid of this....but im drawing a blank at the moment.

Looks normal with my custom icons which are transparent with white semi transparent designs.

If you use Winterboard to change the icon, it should fix the problem.
The latest version of Winterboard is much faster than the previousSo long, and thanks for all the fish

Make a theme folder (call it whatever you want)
Make a folder in that one called Icons (capital 'I')
then put the icon image in that folder, name it TWC.png (TWC in caps)
put all that in your /library/themes folder on your iPhone and select it in WinterboardSo long, and thanks for all the fish
