Then create one....

Go to your theme's folder
Create Bundles folder
In Bundles folder, "create com.app.springboard" folder without the quotes
Place the FolderIconBG@2x.png file in this folder. Respring.

BTW, what iOS version are you on ? iPhone4 ?

EDITED To ADD:

Here, i created a theme for you :
http://www.mediafire.com/?5p93gnd9a58h8xs

Put that in Library/Themes
Then go into WinterBoard and select it.
Respring.

Should look like this :

okay u r on 4.2.1
So FolderIconBG@2x.png becomes FolderIconBG@2x~iphone.png
change the name and try again please, it should work :)

EDIT
Also, the Bundles folder needs to be under an actual theme folder. Themes.MhSJMT is just the main theme folder under which Winterboard will look for the themes. Each theme has its own folder under this main folder. For example, in your case, we have the "BlackNavigationBars theme" and "Saurik theme".

I see that you are not using any special themes.
So just make a folder called "TransparentFolder" under Themes.MhSJMT, and put the Bundles folder into that folder.
Now go to Winterboard, click "select themes"
You should see "TransparentFolder" as one of the choices. Select it (check mark).
Now exit Winterboard and it should respring.

And for reference :
Theme changes for iOS 4.2.1

Tenius HD. I repurposed some of the included icons to give icons to my installed apps. Nike+ GPS is the only one I don't have an icon for. :( My 2nd home screen is messy, so I haven't included it.
 
I see lots of icon swapping going on so maybe somebody can help me.

I've been trying to replace my Todo icon with the old one but I can't find the file location of the icons anymore. It used to be simple but it seems the file structure has been changed.

Thanks in advance!
 
Does anybody have the music note play icon from the original Signal Dots in retina? Would be much appreciated.
 
is it possible to have more than one widget in the lockscreen? whenever i try to put a second widget, the first one would stop working. i'm not sure if its because of the proper html coding?:confused:
 
I got it and got cock hide, but How do I get rid of the slider? and use my own wallpaper? on both the home screen and lockscreen?


thanks

Hang on...I gotta get something out over the typo in the first line...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! :D

Ok, now for the help.

You can replace the slider with a different one (via SSH) or you can look in Cydia for things with titles like "transparent slider", "invisible slider", or something like that.

To use your own wallpaper in almost any theme, you need to ssh into your phone and find this (or the similar) line of code (it's usually near the top of the LockBackground.html):

<div id="Layer"><img src="LockBackground.png" class="stretch"/></div>

and replace it with this:

<div id="Layer"><img src="/private/var/mobile/Library/SpringBoard/LockBackground.jpg" class="stretch"/></div>

This will allow you to set your wallpaper from your photo roll. Now, YMMV, but changing that line of code works for me every single time. Others may have other advice on how to do this as well.

search and someone will bump it to the top page again
