Can we edit existing skins?

Hi , i have the ielegance installed on my iphone and it's fantastic ( well done to the creator) just wanted to know if there is a way for me to create icons for my applications to match the theme and add them to it. It will only be for my personal use, just to be clear. Thanks

You can SSH into your device and pull the theme to your comp. Many themers include a photoshop file with original icon so users can make their own to go with the theme. You'll of course need Photoshop

If you'd like to know more about SSH, search the forums here. To get you started, download from your device OpenSSH and afc2add from Cydia. From there, any SSH client will work. You just gotta find one you like. WinSCP uses wifi, iFunBox and iPhoneBrowser are USB. There are plenty more out there. Afc2add is for the USB using clients. WinSCP does not require afc2add.

Thank you for the quick reply, i have downloaded openSsh but cannot find in cydia nor iphonebrowser nor ifunbox nor winSC, where do i find these apps? Thanks

[marxus79]

Ok they are pc apps

[i.Annie]

Yes...they are. Be sure to install afc2add from Cydia if you're going to use a USB based client.

Ok thanks , i havr just one more question, when i create a custom icon for... Lets say messenger. Do i need to rename the icon in a particular way to then get the place of the original one? Thanks for the support

Non HD name it Messages.png and put it in var/stash/Themes.XXXXXX/(Your theme name)/Icons

HD name it [email protected] size it up to 120x120 and put it in var/stash/Themes.XXXXXX/(Your theme name)/Bundles/com.apple.MobileSMS

Read the Sicky on themeing in 4.X which should help you also.

Wherever you saved it?

[marxus79]

My question was not clear sorry but i found what i was looking 4. Icreated a messenger icon named it Messenger.png added it to my elegance theme, reindtalled the theme and the icon changed, but i have other apps where the icon did not changed like the zynga poker and sport apps i have, how do i know how to name my custom icon? Thanks

[i.Annie]

The icon names are incorrect. They have to be absolutely exact. They are also case sensitive. Some apps display a name on your phone but when it comes to the actual icon name, it isn't the same. Sometimes it's vice versa too, like The Weather Channel app, it's labeled TWC on the device, I'm just not sure which name goes in.

[marxus79]

Ok thanks, so there isnt a website to check the exact name?

[i.Annie]

Sorry to say but I don't know. Maybe Google can help

Although, you could just download themes and open them up to look at the file names. Some themes have a huge load of icons. I really like themes with auto-create icons tho, they automatically create the icon of any app store app. But yeah, look into other themes that have a lot of icons if you can't find anything thru Google.
