If anyone is up for it.. i have an app i am working on.. its in BETA right now
[Currently Windows Only](sorry) v1.3.0.11 is the latest.

It gives you a preview of the skin so you dont have to keep uploading and respringing...

Features:

Preview of Homescreen, Lockscreen, Mediaplayer, Battery (charging screen), Player popups, mulit statusbar, etc
multi page (wallpaper) support
icon "memory" will save the icons used on screen and reload
Images are editable while app is running (it doesnt lock them anymore)
5 icon dock support.
plist editor (with easy key add) - also will add plist file if not present
strings editor - also adds strings file if not present
after an image edit or creation of new icon, just refresh the theme and you will see the new image. Icons will appear in drop downs)
Battery Images can easily be preview on lockscreen, just select from the dropdown. Reflection is then applied.
Some images will show you the location when selected from the image list (red border appears)
Right click an image and you can select preview and open location (so you can easily find the orig)
Click create new theme allows you to select what you want to theme. Basic/advanced/lockscreen/ media player

This is not complete, and Im still tweaking some displays. But works well enough to help you create a great theme!

Enjoy

home screen


Lock screen


Music Player


plist


strings



if you are working on a theme... it would be great help to have you load it into the app to see if it looks pretty close (hopefully spot on) to what it looks like on the touch.

Nice. On it now.

[Tazzaras]

does this work for ipod 2g only or for iPhone 3g as well

[StaticFX]

actually will work for any.. its really built for winterboard

only issue is that it doesnt have many of the iphone specific images...

[cpjr]

Very nice. Im sure this will be of good use to alot of people. I love the fact that I can "preview" what I have going on without loading it on the phone.

[Tazzaras]

sweet thanks man, I will give it a shot and let you know

[snoze88]

man, i've just tried it
it works grate, good job

could you make it for iphone too? mabye with a little menù on the opening where the user can select which device wants to costumize

p.s.: sorry for my english, i'm italian :P

[StaticFX]

well for the most part it should work for iphone. Only thing is it doesnt have the specific images (like signal meter, etc) that are for th iphone.

I can try to add that later

[stereosympathy]

Wow, I would love to see a Mac version of something like this. I have been trying to figure out how to get my iPhone Simulator to run winterboard, but I'm not that good.

[snoze88]

well for the most part it should work for iphone. Only thing is it doesnt have the specific images (like signal meter, etc) that are for th iphone.

I can try to add that later

thanx...the difference could also be in icons order in the default screen (with "phone" and "ipod" icons on the dock)

again: greate job

p.s.: when the app'll be ready, i can write a review for iphoneitalia site, if it's ok

[JStraitiff]

tried and its great!!

you need to make a mac version though

[StaticFX]

I think it would need to be developed in C, and i dont know C... this is in VB.net

Sorry

[Gregorio]

Any chance of getting it to load multiple themes? I have two themes running side-by-side dealing with 2 different sets of icons, and it looks without without being able to load them both...

[StaticFX]

did you try starting a second instance of the app? (not sure what would happen! lol)

[snoze88]

i saw that it doesn't works with a slideshow wallpaper...it doesn't load dock and wallpaper

[Gregorio]

did you try starting a second instance of the app? (not sure what would happen! lol)

Doesn't matter so much now, I'm re-doing my theme from the ground up anyway... one request I do have, though, is it is possible to read an Info.plist file in the theme's home directory to take in to account font colour changes etc?

[StaticFX]

thats coming in a future update

[StaticFX]

I am working on the plist...

I have been able to grab the docked/undocked and change the font/color/size of the displayed... but i have questions

What clock is this? Top of the home screen?
<key>TimeStyle</key>
<string>text-shadow: 1px 1px 3px black; color: white;</string>

and this is from picnic....
<key>CalendarIconDayStyle</key>
<string>padding-top: 68;font-size: 8;text-transform: uppercase;color: 2d303a</string>
<key>CalendarIconDateStyle</key>
<string>padding-bottom: 57;font-size: 18;padding-left: 24;color: ffffff</string>

whats with the huge padding? (is there a screenshot out there of this?)
Im not sure how to pull off some of these settings...
like text-shadow.. i could create the text shadow, but i dont remember my css well... 1px 1px 3px black.... is the 1 over 1 down 3 wide black color?

thanks!

[StaticFX]

1.3.0.1 uploaded...
those with the app will get the update on the next load.

added support for info.plist editing
also, loads the plist and applies the font face / color/ style to the preview for the docked/undocked icons


The RoadTrip theme below was created using the app for preview (I did this in just a few hours - its not complete yet)

[Gregorio]

Nice.

Have you come across a fix for the error people seem to be getting during install yet? I've got a dual-boot XP and Vista machine, both running the latest .NET but I can't seem to get it running on my XP boot - which is the one I use most, and the one that has Photoshop installed on...

It does, however, work on my Vista boot without any issues at all
