i've been searching for a good guide on how to make themes that i can use on summerboard but found none.

the main reason i am searching is because i would like to change my icons individually rather than choose a set of them. but the methods i have found on the wikiguides and forums are rather long and confusing or just impossible to understand.

if anyone can tell me how to make a theme that will work on summerboard, or how to change the icons indv. in an easy and comprehendable way please reply.

Basically:
Use a program like Photoshop or GIMP and create 60px wide by 60px tall images with anything in it. Save it as icon.png (or the application name.png) and upload to your phone. Make one for every application.

If you have any specific question, ask away, or look for tutorials online.

First create a folder with the name of your theme.
We'll call it Example right now.
In this folder, place your Dock.png and your Wallpaper.png, and create another folder in this one called Icons.
Put all of your icons in the Icons folder named using this guide.
So we have:
Example/Dock.png
Example/Wallpaper.png
Example/Icons/Calculator.png
Example/Icons/Calendar.png
Example/Icons/Camera.png
etc.

Then connect your iPhone to your computer, start up your software, (iphoneinterface, iphonebrowser, ibrickr) and navigate to:
/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes
and copy your Example folder into here.

let's say i only want to change a few icons.. if i leave out the ones i dont want to change will they remain as the default icons or will i have to track down the default icons and place them in the folder as well?

The default will be kept

What about changing the already preloaded summerboard themes. Does anyone know the file location for those icons?

But in that directory I only find Dock.png, MiniDock.png, and Wallpaper.png..

Where are the icons I want to replace?

certain themes should have an "Icon" folder in them. otherwise they use the stock icons.

My Leopard theme has custom icons, try redownloading and reinstalling it.

Use a program like iBrickr (Windows) or Breezy (Mac)

I use IPHONE BROWSER for windows. Its decent but you cant create new folders yet.
