First theme for Cydia

Hello and here is my first theme from Cydia called Stiches. I have called it this because I took a bunch of packages that I personally used and modified them to fit into one awesome theme. So I have created this:

Stiches lockscreen

Stiches homescreen

I am currently working to get it into a source but for now you can download the zip and SSH it into your phone to use.

Features:

This theme sports
1. An awesome background
2. A Tap To Unlock instead of a slider
3. A Firefox Safari theme
4. Signal bars instead of Wi-Fi bars.
5. A dark user interface.
6. iPhone 3.0 icons!
7. A clear lockscreen
8. A Blue Flame battery
AND MUCH MORE!

How to install the theme:

1. Connect your iPod/iPhone to your computer. Go into Settings > Wi-Fi and select your Wi-Fi network. Copy your IP address. You will use it later.

Wi-Fi Settings Screen

IP Address!

2. Open your standard Windows SSH client. For this demonstration I will be using WinSCP. YOU MUST BE JAILBROKEN FOR THIS TO WORK! Check out this video if you have an iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod touch 1G or iPod touch 2G for jailbreak instructions. For iPhone 3G S check out this one for Windows or this one for Mac to jailbreak! You also MUST have OpenSSH from Cydia.

3. Put in your IP Address for the IP address and the username is root and the password is “alpine”. Enter those in!

WinSCP start up

4. Hit Login.
5. Download the Stiches files and unzip them.
6. Navigate your client from /private/var/root to /private/var/stash/Themes. Click on images to enlarge.

Drag the Stiches V4 and hit Copy

7. Drag the Stiches folder into the Themes folder and hit Copy
8. Open up WinterBoard (free download in Cydia) and select the Stiches V4 folder. THERE YOU GO!
