    Default Help with Springboard iPhone Badges

    I am trying to make my custom badge for my theme but it won't work right. On the phone the badge is too big even though I have it the same size as the default badge from the iPhone. If needed I'll post a pic but can someone please help me? :P

    What did you resize it to? Did you check the resolution?

    Like in half (14x15) to see what would happen and that's what happened lol. I tried googling it and even searching on here but can't seem to find it :P And whatdo you mean the resolution lol?

    have you tried maybe doing something like this, A mostly transparent image with a smaller colored area? you might need to mess the sizing a little bit, but I dont see why it wouldnt work.Name:  Untitled-2.png

    take the original badge from the iphone and then take your badge and stick them in the same image.. and see whats the difference because it sounds to me that this is whats happening.. in the badge of apples there is some transparency in the image if you make a badge thats bigger than the actual image part then yes it will be bigger.. but if you size it to take up the exact same part of the original it will work.. that means leaving out the exact same transparent parts of the iphone stock badge
