Sorry to interrupt this wonderful thread, but how do I install any of the themes that are posted in this thread?

I already know how to install the ones that are within the Sources, but I'm just talking about those that are throughout this thread.

You need to use SSH and WinSCP or CyberDuck to drop the theme folder into the "Themes" folder within "Summerboard.app"

Thank you. Do I need to change permissions (755) on any of the files?

EDIT: and, if it comes as a zip, do I need to unzip before I put it into the Themes folder?

no permissions needed,

file tree should look like this:

Themes/ThemeName/background.png
Themes/ThemeName/dock.png
Themes/ThemeName/icons/applicationname.png

example: to change the icon for "installer.app" put an icon named "installer.png" into the Themes/ThemeName/icons folder!
 
To hhelper:
Make it Mine is for changing the Carrier image, as you know. I checked back on here, it wasn't on this thread. I'll check through my past 100 posts and find it for you.

Edit: Here it is.

Well, it's really simple, actually.

With mobile finder, go to your applications, then highlight the application you want to rename. Tap modify and you'll see (In say, the example of your weather.app) "Weather.app" as the name. Tap on that and the keyboard should pop up, name it to whatever you want, but remember to keep ".app" at the end of it. Exit mobile finder and restart your springboard (through SMBPrefs or just turning it off then on.)

Also, remember to name any corrosponding icon you have in summerboard to the same .app name, otherwise your icon will go back to the default.

then does your springboard spring up and show all your apps?
Click to expand...

the applications folder pops up and theres a scrollable list of applications

im trying to find a better launcher that would be more similar to springboard but in the mean time im thinking of using dock.app and just making the sunburst image invisible

changing icon text

vigilante-


Thanks, but I was more interested in changing the fonts (color/size/type).

My wallpaper has some light areas in it, and some of the labels are hard to read in those areas. I thought about switching off the text, but would prefer to leave it if I can find a way to highlight the text from the background image.
 
Ahhh. If you only have one page, and don't mind doing things the lame way, you can just turn off text and make red text on your background for your icons.
 
Here is my semi-custom theme with help from the Realize icon set. The second image is the locked screen bg.
