How do you change the little red icon that indicates if you have new messages?

**LeathaFace** · 03-11-2008, 07:09 PM

System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app is the location and SBBadgeBG.png is the file u wanna change.

What about the in app badge? Like the one in Installer, still is the red original badge.

Its the same badge that is used in everything.

There are two ways to do it, via customize or in springboard folder.

/private/var/root/library/customize/badgeimage

or

/System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app file SBBadgeBG.png

After you change the file, respring or restart your phone for the changes to take effect

Attached is a bunch of different colored badges.

There are also smaller badges found in the Other.artwork folder. Decrypting and recompiling that file is a hassle.

Could someone please upload the original red badge?

Nvm, I found it in a download pack on this site.

**laz305** · 02-12-2009, 10:33 PM

is there a way to change the color of the number inside the badge?

**scottdog129** · 04-01-2009, 10:47 AM

I try to open up the file after Ive SSH'd it to my desktop and PhotoShop wont open it? Any ideas? Says something about "cannot parse the file"??

I also had this problem but found it through SSH,

You can locate the badge.png image for the theme you want in the directory /var/stash/Themes/YourThemeName.theme/

My SBBadgeBG.png was located in a folder names bundles, i just replaced that and then respring and it worked!
