create themes for the ipod touch

October 20, 2007 By Matt Leave a Comment

summerboard themes are pretty easy to make if you follow these instructions:

all summerboard themes reside here on the ipod:
/var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/

you have a folder per theme in there, with the following structure:
ThemeName/StatusBar.png – status bar image (optional, 320×20 PNG, alpha)
ThemeName/Wallpaper.png – the wallpaper (320×480 PNG, no alpha)
ThemeName/Dock.png – the dock image for the large dock (320×91 PNG, alpha)

then your icons (optional, 59×60 PNG, alpha (max size 60×60)) go in:
ThemeName/Icons/

name the icons in the Icons folder like this:
Phone.png Text.png iPod.png Clock.png Music.png Photos.png Videos.png etc…

make sure to optimize your graphics via PS’s “Save for Web” option. its very important that these imgs are optimized.
