Now why don't you guys show the themes the real way.

Part of the reason I came back from jailbreaking was because yes, that looks great, until you get one of those icons that ISNT supported by the theme. Which for most people is 2/3rds of your apps...

Not to mention, once I jailbroke, I could no longer make calls. Kinda pointless to have an iPhone without being able to use the phone feature.

There is no jailbreak for the new (2nd generation) iPod Touch.

Yes there is, but it's not worth it since you can't restore it or downgrade. Making it a disaster waiting to happen...

Yeah it also doesn't seem worth it to jeopardize the device, to get Cydia, granted the amount of apps outnumber Apple's offerings, but Apple keeps the apps in check and makes sure they work properly on the firmware version, as far as I know, Cydia does not.

You can easily make icons for whatever applications you use. A lot of themes come with blank icon images to allow you to make your own.

Also, if you are jailbreaking using Pwnage Tool, and not unlocking, use expert mode, and make sure the "Activate the phone" box is unchecked. If it is checked, it can cause the issue of not being able to make/receive phone calls.

I have a few quick questions then. I only jailbroke the one time. I'm thinking of trying it again.

1) Say 2.3 comes out. Do I have to restore, update to 2.3 and then wait for 2.3 to be broken?

2) Can I still use the app store with my phone?

3) Any reason I SHOULDN'T JB?

If 2.3 comes out, best thing to do is just wait for quickpwn to be released for that firmware, and then update your firmware, and use quickpwn to jailbreak it (assuming you don't want/need to unlock). You won't need to restore anything (except any apps installed by installer/cydia).

As to question number 2, yes you can still use the App Store.

As to 3, there are reasons you may not want to, such as not wanting the hassle of waiting for a jailbreak for each new firmware, or the possible risk of having to restore the firmware, and then restore from a backup, but really the minor risks are outweighed (at least in my case) by the benefits of jailbreaking.

Tenius. But I would like to try the OP theme if it has the option to use any wallpaper.

The OP is using Glasklart. The icons are transparent, so set whatever wallpaper you want and enable user wallpaper in WinterBoard.

I'm not sure what program he is running to make his docked icons look the way they do though.

Yep, but I'm so lazy, I'll just rename an icon intended for some other program to the one I want to use it for (if they resemble each other somewhat, or if the icon is really generic).

Here's my current Springboard:

ck2k01 is right

theme: Glasklart

dock: dockflow + five icon dock

use any background with "user background" option in winterboard

and usually if you vist the message board of the person who made the theme there are requests for icons not already themed

here are some more pics

i really like this one. looks simple and clean, which is an advantage i think, especially with so many apps installed.

I keep my springboard squeeky clean and folder up everything in categories and QuickGold =)

1st Gen iPod Touch w/ 2.2 jailbroken FW

Very nice! What theme? And does Categories allow folders to open up like that (vertically and on top of the springboard, rather than in a separate screen) or is that some other program you are using to achieve that effect?

Ok, so I jailbroke my phone again last night. Last time I had done it was with 2.1.

I'm noticing almost anything related to the jailbreak is extremely slow. Is this normal? Cydia is a painful to use. 9/10 apps or themes I go for give me a popup claiming mismatched size.

When I touch my iPod icon, it always thinks I held the icon, preparing my icons for deletion or movement making my ipod unusable.

Ok, it's decided, i'm jail breaking when I get back to england ;)

Thing is, those themes only look good if EVERY icon uses the theme set, which is impossible given the amount of apps/new apps on the store.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
