Create the image in what? Photoshop? I don't have this software so I can't test it.

Can you at least show me a screenshot of what you are experiencing?

Here is the image, between the carrots:

I finally got this to work. I used the transparent image that oldsystem provided and made copies and named them with the names that oldsystem provided and boom no pressed icon image

thanks!

Tried your trick and it didn't work. Here's what I see when I click on an icon.

Sorry it didn't work. But I'm not surprised looking at the complexity of your theme. It's changing all kinds of UI settings. I have no idea how to help you. Try contacting the theme's creator.

Hey guys

Thanks for tips, was able to apply dock theme using your help but my dock icons are sitting one row higher than it should be...how do i rectify this please?

Thanks for your response schmilk. Here is the linky -

It's because that's the new dock that is only half your dock. The original Dock.png somehow doesn't work anymore which means you can't have a "full" dock. I don't know how to fix it.

did any one ever find a solution for this?

TIA

OK guys I've done some testing.

Bad news: If you want auto create icons on 4.2.1 WITH NO "pressed icon image" you CAN'T!!!

What I believe Crapple has done is fuse the "IconDarkeningOverlay.png" with the "AppIconMask.png". The "WHITE" area on the AppIconMask.png (ie the part of the icon that is NOT being masked) turns into the semi-transparent black "shape" (I say "shape" because it depends on what your AppIconMask.png is) that comes up when you press an icon.

If any finds a way around or would like to correct me feel free. But for me I believe it is a dead end as for now.

it is dead, no way round it. But on the bright side it works the same, for my icons anyhow.

He All,

I have been going round and round in circles with this for about 3 hours now and i am pretty sure it's posible as i've done it before. I have customized the auto skinning icon for a theme and it looks good but the shadow stops one line of pixels short from the top of icons i have created but the auto skinning ones look fine. So when ever i select an icon i get a nice shadow across the icon then a bright line of colour at the top. Is there anyway to fix this without having to cut all the icons down by one line of pixels at the top?

Video Example - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25708258/Ico...%20Example.avi (Right click> Save Target As)

Icon Example - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25708258/Icon%20Example.png

Shadow File - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25708258/AppIconMask.png

This seems to have gone wrong since the iconoverlay image is longer used in 4.2.1

Thanks in advance

I GOT IT TO WORK!! THE METHOD MENTIONED ABOVE IS CORRECT. A little unclear but it's correct. ** Thanks, oldsystem **

Do this and you'll be fine. No more Shadows when pressing your icons. As it turns out, it's take a "little" getting used to because you when press on any icon, you're used to seeing something then your app opens. But now that it's not there anymore, your mind think for a milli-second wether you've pressed it or not.

Steps:
1) Create a folder called 'com.apple.mobileicons.framework' in THE THEME FOLDER THAT YOU'RE USING. Put this new folder in a folder call Bundles. If there isn't one, create one and then put 'com.apple.mobileicons.framework' folder in it.
2) Get/make four blank icons named:
AppIconMask.png
AppIconOverlay.png
AppIconShadow.png
DefaultAppIcon.png
** if you're on iPhone 4, add @2x to the end of each file name ([email protected]) **
Here's a copy of the icon, http://cl.ly/4a78/AppIconOverlay.png
3) Once you got all your folder(s) created and your icons are named correctly, respring and you should see the changes.

Happy mod'in peeps.

any new finding for this? I still want to make my pressed icon transparent

Read the last page. It's there.

[Junior_G]

When doing this, all app store apps go transparent. Any new solution?

[exNavy]

Yeah this has become a nightmare. Originally I thought this worked, however after a reboot all my app store icons disappear leaving only a shadow in their place. Respringing is not an effective means of testing this.
