Well he may be packaging his own theme, or he found a theme that isn't on the installer.
Download Cyberduck and then search other forums, it's a lot easier than you might think, but you have to have SSH installed on the ipod.
Could incorporate a black bar in the background I suppose but depending on the image, it may look a little crappy.
But as of now there is no software-way of changing this.
Because some of the ones I see in here are awesome. I'm tired of the ones in installer and my iPod Touch is jailbroken by the way.
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 nearly finished it the way I like.
Can anybody tell me where he got the iPod icon in the bottom left hand corner?
Im not going to take any credit for that theme, this is the guy who made it, and this is where he posted the wallpaper:

It comes with a few icons, and only a few, they are pretty rubbish. So this guy created the box icons which you can download here if you click on the icon.zip:

There are quite a few icons, but not icons for everything (i think the icon pack was originally meant for the iPhone, but you can use the relative icons for the apps you want, like i used the sms icon for apollo, and the camera icon for video etc. Most of them aren't named, so you just pick the ones you want, name them and put them in the theme.
Happy modding

Not a problem! I dont know if you are any good at photoshop, but in the icons zip file there is an empt container so you can make your own, if you do make any, could you please let me know
because better icons could be made as not many exist at the moment! for example itunes...

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
