WinterBoard hooks well before customize can affect things, as I believe Customize is actually changing the files on disk. You need to use a theme in winterboard that doesn't have a dock so you can see through to the one that customize has replaced.

May be a better approach would be to keep themes as icons themes and have com.whatever themes that themselves contain only skins for that particular app. You could have similar theme names in there. This would be somewhat similar to Customize, but not at the image level (it would essentially be an app theme).

I figured an end-game version of this interface would be to drag the themes around and provide a precendence order. I don't like the idea of saying "icon themes" and "battery themes" as personally I think its a good idea to be able to get some merged theme sets. Example: I don't do the whole "entire system is themed" thing. Instead I tend to like little subtle modifications. A better icon for that, a better battery for this. I think it would be good to have like 7 icon themes active (theming different stuff) and a few different forms of ui themes.
I really really want the "drag the order of themes" interface rather than the "select a theme for each of these different things". Its also semantically cleaner, as otherwise we have to determine what those categories of themes are, and WinterBoard is really too powerful: you'd have a million categories.

- I also didn't understand that UIImages is supposed to include ALL .artwork from every application since there are many of those files scattered around the phone
Sorry, I normally don't have a problem following instructions, but I'm just not getting it.

Yeah, the names are stuff people haven't seen before. Everyone was using numerical offsets and indices into the artwork files. (Like, I'm not even certain where the names come from yet, I just know that it loads the .artwork files into a massive dictionary of CGImageRefs that have names and the rest of the code looks stuff up by these names.)
You weren't using the latest copy of WinterBoard. I had a version up for a couple hours that had an unsigned UIImages binary (you can sign it by doing apt-get install ldid; ldid -S /Applications/WinterBoard.app/UIImages), but I am rather sure I fixed that before I responded to your post.
The way I currently can tell these artwork files work is you just initialize the entire lot of them and they are all loaded. If you can't find the images you want in that set then I will look into it further: I definitely want you to be able to customize anything on the phone ;P.
