great tutorial.... I'm a beginner and noob in more than just the iPhone department, but i definitely would prefer having my own theme as opposed to someone elses, and i understood these direction very well.

The only question I have now is how do I modify/ change the program icons? It's not a true theme unless those are also changed, I assume it is quite simple since it does in fact look like you have modified icons on your example springboard, but alas, I am a simple being and do not understand what steps should be taken to achieve this.

*this is for windows XP of course.... apparently all mac users know this already*

to change any icon (this includes appstore programs), You need to know the name of the bundle indentifer.

open the plist for the app you want to change and look for a set of words that start with "com."
example
the weather app is called com.apple.weather



you will then add it to you bundle folder.
/Library/Themes/(theme name)/Bundles

example:/Library/Themes/(theme name)/Bundles/com.apple.weather

you will then name your icon "icon.png" and place it in the folder.

the apps from the apple store are located at:
/var/mobile/Applications

all other apps are located at:
/Applications

You don't have to do this. All you have to do is create a folder in your theme called Icons (Library/Themes/(yourtheme).theme/Icons) and slap them all in there. That's it. Just name the icons what they are on the phone and throw em in that folder (Finder.png, MIM.png, BossTool.png, etc....). Way easier to do. Saurik stated that he kept this form working on Winterboard as well so some of your old themes from Summerboard would still work. Try it.

Can anybody tell me how I can get rid of the "splash" screens when opening apps? Say when you open settings... a screen with a bunch of white lines shows up while it's waiting to open. I'd also like to know how to make my status bar clear throughout the whole iPhone instead of just on the home screen.

[LGgeek]

So if i wanted to have a wallpaper background for normal (unlocked) operation and another png for locked I:

1. make copy of saurik.theme and rename to something else myname.theme
2. put both of the png's I want to use in Private directory
3. change the variables (var images = ['Rock.png', 'Plant.png'] to match what I put in Private
4. upload myname.theme

did I get it ?
If I'm not going to use any of the other items ( bundles,info.plist,UISounds)
can I delete them ?

LGgeek,

If you're making a copy of the saurik.theme then you can add the images directly into saurik.theme folder.

Just name images:

"LockBackground.png" for lockscreen background
"Wallpaper.png" for homescreen background.

No need to go into Private directory

As for the other stuff in the theme you won't be using you can erase them (bundles, info.plist etc), or back them up for safe keeping.

Van Wildonher,

The splash screens for the apps are located in the Applications' folder. They are named "Default.png".

For example, change the splashscreen for Cydia,

Name custom image "Default.png"

Go into /Applications/Cydia.app/Default.png

Overwrite image, backup original if you'd like.

For clear statusbar,
(I haven't tried this so I don't know if it works)

If you already have a clear statusbar image, try naming it "default_BG.png" and add it to your Winterboard theme folder.

Put image in Bundles/com.apple.springboard/default_BG.png

[LGgeek]

THEdAY,
Thanks that worked like a charm.

I read about how to change the carrier logo, but if I'm on TMobile, what do I need to do different? Anything? What do I name the apple.xxxx? And what do I name the FSO_CARRIER_xxx and DEFAULT_CARRIER_xxx?

Thanks!

[hewito]

it is great,but for someone like me that is way below average,i need someone to make it for me,i have all the drawings...but i need a complete theme...battery,sliders icons..the whole enchilada,,,,anybody can make it for me ,i am willing to pay!!..thanks

[lilweezyana1107]

can anyone give me a complete list of what files change what in a theme. I'm trying to make a "complete" theme. The basics I know already like (dock icons wallpaper) but the other files Im shaky on. A nice list would be helpful. Something that list each file and what it changes on the iPhone. Thanks very very much.

Awesome Guide. I would like to say that I've been bypassing most of the work by creating an 'Icons' folder, with each image inside labeled as the name of my app...'Text', 'iPod' for example.

Problems Solved =]

and I'm back again. I refuse to double post....

My next step I want to tackle in my theme is the sms bubbles. I am certainly going to search for them myself, if anyone here knows what UII images I must change?---SOLVED

Figured that out. For those who ask questions about how to theme certain things...heres what I've been doing. Download whatever you wanted to theme in cydia...for example, I just did sms background and bubbles. When that's downloaded, and can be selected in winterboard, ssh into library/themes/whatever_it_is_you_just_downloaded

When you open that, you can see what files you need to place into your theme's main folder. In my example, there was two items inside; 'SMSBackground.png' there was also a Bundles folder. I opened up the Bundles folder, and inside was a folder called 'com.Apple.MobileSMS'. Inside of THAT folder was two images- Balloon_1.png and Balloon_2.png.

So, now I figured out that I need to add the following to my theme- I needed to add a SMSBackground.png to my main theme, so it would be /Library/Themes/*my theme*/. I also learned I had to add inside of my Bundles folder (already had one) a folder called 'com.Apple.MobileSMS'. Inside of that I needed to create my own two balloons to use, titled 'Balloon_1.png' and 'Balloon_2.png'

Hope this helps for some people, its literally what I've been doing since 2pm (its 7). Man, theming is addictive =]

Hi guys. Can anyone tell me the file names of the splash screens for the mobile phone app and the mobile calendar app? I also need to know the name of the mobile phone app folder in WinterBoard.

Thanks a bunch.
