Still loving Soda HD.

This is what I've set up for the time being. Like many others I love Schnedi's work.

The only thing I wish I could set up was to show the current day's high and low temperature. Does anyone know what I would need to add to do that or is it too complicated?

What are your guys' favorite icon sets? I'm yet to find one that I really like. I'm currently using Noki and I didn't like VIP or Zorsha that much.

Any ideas? I thought Genesis was pretty good though.

That's really such a subjective thing for most people. Did you not see icons you liked while combing through this thread?

I personally swap between the following:

Glasklart HD (MacThemes or Cydia, free, has a TON of icons)
Upojenie HD (MacThemes download, free, some great icons but not enough people making them as they're pretty complicated)
Redline (Frameless) (Cydia, paid theme, and I only use the icons--hundreds of icons over on ModMyI)
ElitePro HD (Cydia, paid, use the icons and just some small bits from the UI, also hundreds on ModMyI)
Round3 (MacThemes, free)
Avid HD (Cydia, paid, only a few icons as this one's just been released)
And an Eclectic set I put together myself, with icons cherry-picked from half a dozen themes on MacThemes, plus quite a few I made myself

Not one of these sets is wholly stock, either. They've all got icons in them that I did myself when I couldn't find what I wanted. Redline & Elite are terrific for that, since they're more photographic image based than graphic design based, and included the necessary PSD's for creating your own icons in Photoshop.
 
Zooropalg had themed the SB music controls for the VIP theme, I really like it.

I did but I never knew what they were called. That's a really great list though, I mean it's a perfect starting point. Tell me something though, is it difficult to mix and match icons from different themes? Because some themes have icons that I love and others are really lame.

I just got a few from this Bundle that I liked but the theme was lame. What's the best place to look for a collection of icons? And are you sharing your Eclectic set? That collection sounds very good.
 
Nice blinded. Can you post the clock and iPod icons? It's hard to keep up with the VIP thread at modMyi.

Thanks, I think the guys that are making all of the mods for this theme are doing an awesome job. I don't recall the members names over at MMi, so unfortunately I can't give credit to the creators of these icons. The clock icon is meant to be used with LiveClock. I'm using LiveClock Dark No Seconds, which IMO looks the best with this theme.

I'm up to page 78, but damn that thing exploded, I just can't keep up.
Thank you very much, appreciate this :)
 
So after two days of playing around, I've ended up with something like this

http://cl.ly/2H1P190D0X060t2N1518

It's not amazing, but I like it so far. I only have a few grievances...

Is there any way to make the icons smaller? Or can someone possible upload a plist where they are more spread apart? they're just too squished together, I don't like it right now. And possibly a back overlay with black/wooden shelves to go along with it? I really think that would make all the difference in the world.

I handpicked the icons myself so I like them so far, trying to switch around to make them match a little more.

Also the dock looks really lame. I've seen home screens where it literally looks like the icons are just sitting on the ground. Can anyone help me with that?

If I can spread the apps out a little bit or make the icons smaller and have a more realistic looking dock, I'll really start to like what I've done.

Last question (hehe), does anyone know how I can control the positioning of the widget? I really want to move the weather stuff down just a little bit, which could also help play into expanding the shelves and make them less squished together.

I really hope someone can help! Thanks!

Edit: Really quick 2 things

How can I change my call screen? I used MyPhone+ to set up pictures synced but it only shows a tiny thumbnail even though I set it to full screen. It's currently using the same old lame wallpaper that iPhone comes with.

And how can I take a specific theme's 3G bars and put them into the theme that I'm currently using. (Noki HD to random)

It looks good. Try Shrink to make the icons smaller, or you can use Iconoclasm to spread them out.

For Docks, there is a thread in this forum, "Post your custom Docks" I think. Check that out to get started anyway.

I got lucky, Bennybear, in that I got in on that thread early (it was at about 30 pages). I've gotten in the habit of checking it every day, usually multiple times a day, for new icons and tweaks. This is the first theme that I've been able to do that with a theme and it's worked out great. :D
 
Yes please my friend?

I don't know what you want removed, there is not a line under the statusbar. Here is one with the line towards the bottom removed. It still has the white Unlock buttons or whatever you would call them:
