After a basic understanding of how themes work in Summerboard, I managed to come up with a personalized version of themes, and if I can do it, then anyone can do it.





For my first try, I wanted to merge the background and dock of the theme Playground:













with icons from a downloadable theme called CuteBunnies



So what I did was:



1. Downloaded CuteBunnies from Installer

2. From SSH, I downloaded the icons

3. From the computer, I began to rename the icons to match the app I wanted it to become (the bunny I posted became BossPrefs.png)

4. Once you have renamed all your icons, group them into a folder named "Icons"

5. Since I don't have script/shell knowledge, I unzipped the Playground theme, replaced its Icons folder with the one I made (with the bunnies).

6. Rename your new personalized theme (this one's called Luvbunny hehe)

7. Using SSH, install your new theme into /var/root/mobile/Library/Summerboard/Themes

8. Sit back and enjoy



Here is Luvbunny the theme:













I think it's better to use a different script (I used Playground's lang) because there's something wrong with the Weather icon (ayaw dumikit).



But there you go. I must say I'm really proud of my progress because I didn't know anything about SSH until I listened to doblezeta and his tutorials



Next stop: More girly themes! *clap, clap*

gawa ka naman manly man themes for me (kasi sobrang macho ako)! hehe



i suggest isama sa repo yung themes mo pag gumawa ka ng original themes.

@yagit: Lalagyan ko na lang ng bigote yun Hello Kitty theme para manly hehe

This thread is almost 2 years old - there are easy ways to put / create your themes.
For starters, I suggest you download and install preconfigured themes in Cydia.
Launch Cydia, install Winterboard, then search for a good theme that would suit your taste.
Download and install that theme and just activate it in Winterboard
