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.

    • Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Marshall Major V Bluetooth headphones are now up to 47% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Marshall Major V in Midnight Blue is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from $169.99. That's 47% off and $80 saved on a pair of wireless on-ear headphones from one of the most recognizable names in audio. The Major V is Marshall's take on a long-lasting everyday headphone. The headphones deliver 100+ hours of wireless playtime, which puts them in a completely different category from most Bluetooth headphones that hover around 30-40 hours. You’re charging this thing once a week at most, and with wireless charging supported, you don’t have to worry about additional cables. Marshall promises its signature sound profile, with strong bass, smooth mids, and clear highs. There’s a customizable M-button, which you can set to quickly access Spotify Tap, your EQ settings, or a voice assistant. The design is foldable and lightweight at 186 grams, so it’s easy to pack for travel. And finally, the faux leather finish gives the Major V a sleek, premium look. At $89.99, the Major V Midnight Blue is a genuinely strong buy for anyone who wants a reliable daily headphone without paying premium prices. It’s also worth mentioning that the Cream and Brown variants are also discounted to $89.99, though from a lower original price of $99.99.

    • Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Forza Horizon 6 gets big bug-fixing and balancing update by Taras Buria Today, Playground Games released a big Forza Horizon 6 update with a long list of fixes, patches, and balancing tweaks that the studio promised earlier. Version 375.327 is now available on Steam, Microsoft Store, and Xbox, offering users improvements for AI, audio, design, performance, road discovery, upgrades, visuals, online play, and more. Some of the most notable changes in the Series 2 update include rebalanced drivatars, particularly their difficulty and race start behavior. As such, the game should be more balanced on higher difficulty levels, and AI cars should not shoot out when the race starts as if they have rocket boosters. Speaking of difficulty, developers nerfed Drag Tires physics for a more expected and realistic behavior. They are no longer the go-to option for record-breaking times in road racing, and all leaderboard entries with drag tires will be removed. Completionists will also be glad to get a new feature that lets you see road discovery percentage in each region, which should make discovering all roads easier while keeping it quite challenging and interesting (I spent quite a long time finding the last road). Festival Playlist is also getting some much-needed fixes, including patches for bugs that allowed completing Seasonal Jobs ahead of time or where weekly challenges would not unlock for some players. Developers will retroactively give reward points to all who could not complete all challenges due to these bugs. Other changes include changes to Horizon Play progression so that it is easier to reach Level 100, audio improvements on lower-spec devices, fixes for visual glitches, including pixelated smoke, and more. Developers also addressed the currently non-working Eliminator, an online mode gamers used to farm credits with a Hummer EV exploit. Playground Games plans to re-enable it soon. As a gesture of goodwill, players will get a free McLaren Sabre. Those who used the exploit will not be banned, but developers plan to roll back credits to a maximum of 10M for all who farmed credits using the exploit. You can find the complete changelog for the latest Forza Horizon 6 update here.
