All of these themes are amazing and I just started getting into themes, but I have to ask, how do you hide icons? I see a lot with stacks and no icons on the springboard.
Got a tip for us?

You can hide icons by using "Poof" which can be found in Cydia
You can also put them into categories using "Categories" or you can download blank apps that can be used as spacers in Cydia too.
Ah okay great, in Categories it says you shouldn't hide all your icons..what happens if you do and how can you avoid that?
Don't know what happens, but don't want to find out either
Easiest way is to put all of your stuff into categories that you don't use on a daily basis and keep the apps that have cool icons or ones that your use multiple times a day out on the main board.

I chose to use the date only, because having a clock in your status bar and your springboard looked weird. You can get rid of the clock in the status bar, but I decided against it because then you can't tell what time it is if you are using an application that allows you to view the status bar, Safari for example.
To get date only the way I have it, just use the file I attached to this post and chmod it to 755.
I have it sitting really close to the clock so I had to customize my status bar and make it thinner. It doesn't really work out too well, because when it loads some applications that use the thinner status bar it makes a weird line running across the top and looks kind of ugly. So if you want it to look normal and not have to use a thinner status bar, just look at this line:
Code:
<table style="position: absolute; top: [B][SIZE="5"]20[/SIZE][/B]px; left: 0px; width: 320px; height: 461px;" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">If you want to edit the date text edit this code:
Code:
TD#date
{
font-family: Helvetica;
text-align: center;
color: #e7e7e7;
font-size: 13px;
}It should be pretty self explanatory.
To set your wallpaper just edit this line:
Code:
<body bgcolor="black" background="[B][SIZE="5"]Wallpaper.jpg[/SIZE][/B]">Enjoy.
You should get something like this:
Btw for those of you looking for the spinning beachball I found this website: http://spinningbeachballofdeath.com/

This is a theme I customized myself. I took icons from several different sets as well as the wallpaper and dock. It's my first one...so forgive me if it looks like junk!
Well... I finally got Stacks to work with my 5 icon dock, and I got it so you couldn't really see the folders behind the icon that is displayed (3rd in stack). The way you do this is to offset the 1st and 2nd icons to the right by creating a transparent layer and moving the icons to the right. It took some trial and error, but I *almost* got the 1st and 2nd icons directly behind one another. The 3rd icon will have to me shifted right as well in order to cover the other two.
duffer,
Unfortunately the spinning beachball does not spin. I don't think there is a way to animate it....but here it is if you still want it. Still beats the standard folder that says "loading" This is already formated to center on your screen. There is a transparent background that you can't see.
dieburnbot,
Your wallpapers are always awesome man.

Thanks bear hunter.
Glad to see you got stacks working. That looks nice how you got it to display one icon. I just have a question. I'm trying to change my loading icon for Categories and I backed up the Default.png renamed my icon to Default.png and put it in the /var/stash/Applications/Categories.app/Launcher and did a repsring, but it keeps loading the default icon instead of the one I put up. Is there some step I am missing? Thanks.

dieburnbot,
Yeah, it doesn't go in the Categories app. It will go in the launch category that you create. For example, if you have a category named "Games"...go to "/Applications/Games" and replace the Default.png there.
That is also the same place you can change the background.png, so when you open it up it will have your customized background.
Ahh I see, thanks a lot. You always seem to be able to help me out.
Here is the icon I am using:

Very classy man
Good morning, I love seeing all the different themes, in some of the themes I notice that you were able to put the weather in the upper menu bar, how do you accomplish getting the weather to show up there? that is very sharp looking!! plus it's much more useful showing there then having to click on the weather icon itself..
Thanks for any help!
Thanks for any help!
Search google for "weather widget on iPhone", or you could look a couple of pages back someone probably posted a link already.
I use these two, blueprint and Macish 2.3
Where can I download this excellent theme? Please and thank you.
If you guys like this....I can post up everything you need to make it.
Pretty straightforward though, user wallpaper, transparent statusbar, gradiance v2, wbweatherwidget. In that order.
loks nice...not sure how to chnage the weather though...i tried several times and it didn't work
SSH into your phone where your weather widget is (Library>Themes), go into the weatherwidget folder, find the file "configureme.js" Copy that file to your desktop and open it with textedit/notepad. Change the location to whatever you want. Save the file and replace the existing one in your weatherwidget folder
Installed Status Notifier and modified my taskbar. Now everything is added to Stacks with the exception of my Hard Drive Category, Calendar, Snapture, and Cycorder.
Anyone know how to change the padding on the Cell indicator and/or WiFi indicator? That's as close as I could get it to the left. Tried the space method in MiM, and also tried to add a 1x20 pixel carrier logo. I had the WiFi over to the right, but the notifications cover it up, and it didn't look right having the WiFi in the middle?
Suggestions?
EDIT: Moved the WiFi back to the right, couldn't stand the gap on the left

You can **** with all of that noise I guess...Or you can just go into cydia...Search for WbApp then after you install it, open up WbApp, go to WbWeatherWidget, change the settings for your location, time intervals, etc.
