   To cluttered looking. This looks horrible on the iPhone. That would just give me a headache looking at it.

   Matt on January 8th, 2009 12:03 am:

   if everything goes well…. then yes
   i believe it works a lot lik the 5 icon dock hack does, just a million times more complicated, thats y its taken so long to develop

   

   sean novak on January 8th, 2009 3:00 am:

   looking at the last picture above i would say YES!

   

   vaio on January 8th, 2009 6:48 am:

   Good hack if you’ve already filled your 9 pages and need more room.

   chong on January 8th, 2009 8:30 am:

   9 PAGES good lord i cant go over 6 without my phone lagging crashing and sometimes apps just not responding!!! before and after jailbreaking my phone so its not because its jailbroken.
8. JuanKi on January 8th, 2009 8:59 am:

    Wow that just looks amazing!! I have the Vivid theme installed and it’s the only theme I use. In some ways I think it’ll make the icons look cluttered. But I guess if you have a theme that shrinks your app icons like the 3rd picture (what theme is that?) above then it doesn’t look as messy. With my Vivid theme the icons are clear/transparent so it still might look a bit cluttered. But I can’t wait for the release and hear how it works for the guinea pig testers.

    What’s the source!??

    

    Ham on January 8th, 2009 11:05 pm:

    unfortunately, i think the only way to install for now is to download the file then ssh to your phone then use mobile terminal…i think the public release will be out soon…there is a tutorial on ispazio site

    

    DJ BROTHERSON on January 8th, 2009 11:14 pm:

    How did you get the local weather and time on your screen like that?? Can you point me in the right direction?

    

    Ham on January 8th, 2009 11:19 pm:

    It’s a theme called Styl Edit from xSellize Premium repo…
    one of the best themes I have ever used!

    

    Ham on January 8th, 2009 11:19 pm:

    “Styld Edit” correction

    

    Ciego #10 on January 10th, 2009 5:37 am:

    Can you explain step by step, how you get this style? ok, 5icon and 5row dock is simple. but the rest is awesome!!

    

    Ciego #10 on January 10th, 2009 8:59 am:

    theme name please

    

    Ham on January 10th, 2009 10:48 am:

    Install the StyldEdit theme. SSH into your phone to the theme’s folder.
    /private/var/stash/themes/styld_edit.theme/private

    There is a file called ConfigureMe.js, double click on that and look for this string: var locale = ‘Tampa, Florida’

    Just change the locale to where you live and the theme does the rest!

    Enjoy!
