    Nice! Did you find it hard to do?

    First, you need to go into Cydia and look for Winterboard and install that. When you've got Winterboard installed, go back into Cydia and then look under Themes / Winterboard. Install a theme you like the sounds of (and check out the previews too under More Info). Go back into Winterboard, apply the theme by clicking it and you should be good to go.

    Winterboard, I think, has several already-made themes. Not very good themes, but they're decent. Also, do you have Wi-Fi? I can send you my theme if you want and you can do what you want with it, plus you can modify things that way, which I find better.

    It certainly is - it's the next-gen version of Summerboard + Customise which we used to have to use for applying themes, system text and changing backgrounds. I have quite a few apps, actually.

    - Winterboard, for changing themes, backgrounds, batteries etc.
    - Poof, for hiding and unhiding icons and stuff you don't need or want to see.
    - Cydia, for installing applications, games, themes and whatever else.
    - MakeItMine, changes the iPod text at the top left corner to anything you want.
    - SBSettings, for turning off Wi-Fi / SSH quickly and restarting the iPod interface.

    Thank you so much drew!! This certainly helped! My question is: how do you make your own? I'm hoping to make a Zoo TV sort of theme for it, and so on. What you've done is way beyond what I can imagine.

    Also, I do have Wifi, but how would you be able to send them over?? How would one be able to modify or change things via wifi?

    What I've done is nothing compared to some of the themes I've seen.

    Did you download Winterboard and install it to your iPod? If so, to upload themes via Wi-Fi, you need to go back to Cydia and download and install OpenSSH and restart your iPod (hold home and standby buttons together). When you've done that, on your computer you now need to download and install WinSCP from winscp.net

    Turn on your iPod again and where you go to turn on Wi-Fi, click the little blue arrow and take note of the IP address - like 192.168.0.111. In WinSCP, click New and fill the fields out like:

    Host Name: the IP address from the iPod
    Port Number: 22
    User Name: root

    When it says about an index key, just click Update or Add, and put in the password which is alpine. Then you should see the entire iPod directory - go to Library / Themes - don't go anywhere else yet! - and in there should be a whole bunch of themes. Drag out a theme folder to your desktop and use it to learn what you need to have in the folder. If you need any help, just ask! I was only a newbie to this a while ago.

    Here's my theme which you can play with and redesign and do whatever you want with it, called Normal: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?e0zijtyjbvz


    A theme should have the following:

    Dock.png
    StatusBar.png
    Wallpaper.jpg
    LockScreen.png

    Additionally, you can have in Bundles\com.apple.TelephonyUI the following:

    bottombarknobgray.png - sliders on main screen
    bottombarknobred.png - sliders on turn off screen
  4. So after some tinkering around I am working on a Zoo TV theme and a PopMart theme.
  6. in the mood for a 2nd gen 16gb ipod touch. Talk me out of it. .


  8. I asked my parents to buy me it for Christmas.....and as my mom has already agreed....


  11. Hahaha!

    And besides Gerard: What do you need an iPod for? To listen some of the greatest bands ever? Not worth a few euros...
