is there a way i can get the colts theme but keep all my icons. the icons on the theme are just an NFL logo so i dont know which is which by looking at them. If I download an icon set, the I always have a few apps that dont have an icon
Absolutely. All you have to do is download the theme and then remove all of the icons in its Icon folder. If you have a different set of icons you want to use then just copy them into that very same folder.
i assume i have to ssh the phone to do that? is there not another way?
I can do it that way but everytime i download a new app that doesnt have an icon im gonna have to do it again
SSH into your phone and copy the entire icon folder to your desktop. Modify the contents of the Icon folder and then SSH it back into your theme folder. You can do this with iFunbox too. Or Diskaid. Or iPhonebrowser. You don't necessarily have to SSH for this procedure.
Afterwards, if a new icon comes out you just have to drop that single icon into the themes icon folder. There really is no way around that.
