Very slick!

Much better. Honestly, it's actually real nice.
I love those Dock buttons.

Thanks!

Nice!
your other one wasn't really ugly, it was just really cluttered, but this one is awesome.
What theme is that?

It's called Glass Orb. Can be installed via Installer (must add modmyifone as a source) or you can head over to modmyifone's download page and you'll find it under "summerboard themes".
 
Ok. Here's How

Download or create the theme.

Place it all in a folder named for the theme. In that folder should be the following (if you plan on keeping any of these stock, you can leave them out): Background.png, Dock.png, StatusBar.png, and a folder named Icons with .png files that are 60x60 for every icon you want to replace (which should each have the same name as the application you are replacing, as they appear on the SprinBoard labels)

Download Cyber Duck (or another FTP client)

Find out you iPod's IP address by going into settings and pressing WiFi then pressing the blue arrow next to the network you are on.

Now in your FTP client, start an SFTP connection to the IP address you got from your iPod. Make sure it is SFTP or it will not work. The username is root and the password is alpine.

That should bring you up to a screen with two folders and a file. Library, Media and the file I cannot remember.

Open the Library folder, and then open the SummerBoard folder.

Place your theme into the folder you find there called Themes.

Open SummerBoard and your theme should be there

Fairly simple to do when you do it once or twice you will be able to do it without thinking

If you have any questions feel free to ask
I'll try this.

By the way, does anyone have a Windows Vista theme? I've been looking for this.
 
Thanks so much! I noticed theres a nice video icon in there! I might be being stupid (as it might be in the zip i just downloaded) but have you made a music and picture icon in 70x70?

Thanks for your time :p

The dock icons in the zip are 70x70 :)
 
Red Sox Request.

if any of you that do these great springboards dont mind, could you use these pictures to create some icons and springboard? I would greatly appreciate it!

i was kind of wanting to go for a grungy type feel (like the background--The Boston Red Sox Nation green background pic)

any of your own ideas for icons would be cool, the ones i attached (especially the grungy shamrock) i would like to use.

thanks!

*edit* for some reason linking from picasa wasn't working so I attached them

Page1-Most used apps
Page2-Games
Page3-Installer/settings

If anyone has more skills than I do for icons and could make some more icons that seem kinda "chalky", i.e. drawn with chalk I would appreciate it!

is there anyway I can make a new york yankees or giants background. I'd love to have one of those for my touch but have no idea where to look
 
well assuming that you are jailbroken and everything...
Google "iPod touch wallpapers" and there are tons of sports ones available.
Save them to your computer.
SSH them onto your touch as part of a theme
OR
Upload them as Photos in your iPod photo album (via iTunes) and then go into SMB prefs and turn off wallpaper (or on, i forget which) and then apply your saved wallpaper as your wallpaper in your general settings.
 
Wow, I love the idea of that! I'm guessing that all of the cool looking interface style thing is just a background, and that they used Custoize to hide the icons.
 
my new theme, slightly modifying the new louie mantia Buuf theme.

does anyone know now to make the text below the apps you have in the dock go further down as they do on iphone, as im making my home page iphone like, cheers
 
Is there some simple way to convert an icon I have on my Mac, to a .png file that can be used on the touch? Tried putting it into my theme manually using Cyber Duck, but got some error, and basically didn't transfer. I converted the icon to a .png file, but maybe it was just too big...
