   Are there any simple ways (not over Wi-Fi) to get in and drop files in the iPod Touch’s file directory on Windows? –Drop me a link please?

   I think this is awesome and very much appreciated. However I ran into a problem after playing with it for a while. I had about 4 SummerBoard themes installed. I used CyberDuck and SSH to move all the icons from those themes to the appropriate Theme Builder folder. I then deleted the SummerBoard themes. I then created my own theme using your program and mixed and matched any icon I wanted. Everything is great. But, when I try to download a new theme from Installer, I get the “Package download failed!” Error. Any thoughts?

   ThemeBuilder was moved from the ModMyiFone repo to BigBoss’s repo. Uninstall everything ThemeBuilder wise, refresh sources and reinstall.

   Mike, You need SSH or iPhoneBrowser to upload them to the /var/mobile/Library/ThemeBuilder directory on your iphone

   Thanks Max on building and releasing this and thanks Gates for giving Max the idea

   Hey there, Max.

   Thanks a bunch. The app is amazing.
   A ‘duplicate’ function would be nice, so that original themes are left intact and changes made to the duplicate. Or maybe you could implement a backup/restore-icon function.
   Thanks a lot. Keep improving your apps. I’ll donate as soon as I get paid lol.

   P.S. I wish summerboard could ‘catch’ the usage time before a respring and set it again after the respring. If it’s possible, add that when u add the smbprefs replacement function.

   Sorry to bug you again. Usually, themes don’t have icons for all apps. When modifying a theme in ThemeBuilder, I can add icons for apps that don’t have any. I can only modify apps that the theme already has an icon for. Would it be possible for you to let us ‘theme unthemed apps’?

   Thankyouuu.
   K byeeeeee.

   This app is fantastic! Just one feature request:

   Could you include the option of selecting an icon from within a Summerboard theme? For example, I have a large selection of icons in my Agua theme folder, but the ones that I don’t use have 0s or 1s, etc., at the ends, so that they are not using for the icons. It would be great if I could select one of those alternate icons from ThemeBuilder.

   Thank you.

   wow. thanks price. ive been googling on this for a while and so far i havent been able to find anything. thanks man.
   you too max.

    max..i dont know if you’re there or not but ive got a question.

    i did the whole ssh thing with the winscp etc.

    i did everything right, i made no mistakes, and i have all the pictures/other stuff in the theme builder that i want.
    except, when i select ‘wallpaper’ when creating a new theme, then it takes a while for it to load and actually take my to my wallpapers. i put some wallpapers from other themes, and put them inside of the theme builder wallpaper section.

    now. what i did, is i took about 30 pictures, and put them all into the TB Wallpaper section. right underneath your demo image pack. everytime that i select my pictures in the wallpaper section, it either freezes or takes me back to home.

    can you tell me what i am doing wrong?
    or is it possible a patch/fix is needed?

    Thanks, where can i get docks and icons i got the demo pack, i now where to get the wallpapers but not the rest, can u please help me

13. Mike // Mar 31, 2008 at 2:12 pm

    Well Daniel, you cant really just download icons/wallpapers/docks/etc. straight from the installer yet. the olny available stuff is the Demo Image Pack in the installer. If you know how to SSH, then you can SSH pictures into your ipod and then create your own themes with your pictures. but for now there are no docks and icons to download. the olny way you can get docks and icons is if you copy and paste them from other summerboard themes, or you create them yourself.

    if you want your own pics on your theme builder just go into summerboard and turn off theme wallpaper then go to settings go to wallpaper and set it as you want now your wallpaper will be your theme backround
