With all the things I like about this theme there are a few things I do not like… there is no Messages icon. So, I ssh’d into the Library/Themes/Bliss.theme/Icons folder and changed one of the other icons to the Messages icon (just change any of them to say Messages.png). Also, the wallpaper is set as individual pages which means if you go over nine pages, it will use your own wallpaper for the rest of your pages. This also keeps you from being able to change the wallpaper by selecting the “User Wallpaper” option in WinterBoard. So, to remedy this, I ssh’d into the Library/Themes/Bliss.theme folder and changed the Page 0.png to Wallpaper.png and deleted Page 1.png through Page 9.png. This will still allow you to set the background that comes with the theme however, it will also allow you the ability to change the wallpaper using “User Wallpaper”.

I know, some of you are thinking…. why can’t this theme just work without all the ssh’ing… and technically it does (without a Messages icon). However if you are like me, and love to mod your device, this one has a few things that you can easily mod to make it a little better.

You can get Bliss via the modmyi source.

It has been snowing here for the last few days so, I thought it was probably time to break out the Christmas mods! Hopefully they will put you in the Christmas spirit! Below are a few of the better Christmas themes as well as some Christmas mods and links to some Christmas wallpaper packs. Let me know in the comments if there are any Christmas themes that you really like that are not listed below.

Christmas 2009 via the SOS iPhone source. This theme contains 32 icons, a dock and a wallpaper.

Simple Christmas via the iSpazio source. This theme contains 39 icons, a dock and a wallpaper. In order for this theme to look exactly correct, you will need to ssh into the Library/Themes/Simple Christmas/Icons folder and rename the Text.png icon to Messages.png.

Ryan Cawns Christmas via the modmyi source. This theme contains 32 icons, wallpaper, dock, UI sounds, lock screen background, iPod controls mod… etc. There is one icon that needs to be renamed in this theme. You will need to ssh into the Library/Themes/Ryan Cawns’ Christmas Theme/Icons folder and rename the Music.png icon to iPod.png.

iStorm Xmas via the BigBoss source. This is a Christmas version of the original iStorm theme. This theme does take a little bit of set-up. You will have to add four blank icons to the top row of your SpringBoard. Also, you will need to ssh into the Library/Themes/iStorm Xmas/Icons folder and rename the Text.png icon to Messages.png.

Flashing Christmas Lights via the modmyi source. This mod adds a string of Christmas lights around your icons. It does not mod your icons so, you are basically supposed to use it in conjunction with another theme. The string of lights will randomly flash in different patterns. In order for the theme to look exactly right, you will want to enable the Transparent Dock via WinterBoard.

Let It Snow Widget via the SOSiPhone source. This hack for the iPhone makes it snow behind your icons and above your wallpaper. It is downloaded in Cydia and activated by Winterboard.

ALHAQBANI CURVE is a unique WinterBoard theme that contains 53 icons, wallpaper, dock, status bar, status bar icons, sliders, badges, UI mods, phone Keypad mod and lock screen mod. This theme does not contains an icon template (.psd file) which is a bummer since it only includes 53 icons. Other than that, a decently designed theme. You can get ALHAQBANI CURVE via the BigBoss source.

Acropolis Luz is a WinterBoard theme that contains quite a few mods. Like most themes, it contains icons (303 of them), a dock, status bar, wallpaper, lock screen battery, slider, badges.. etc. However, it also contains a ton of other mods such as Message app mod, Phone app mod, Safari app mod, UI mod, pop-up mod, Cydia app mod… and much more. If you are photoshop savvy and like to create your own icons, the theme does contains a .psd file which is located in the Library/Theme/Acropolis Luz [Krs]/PSD folder.

The theme also contains a matching SBSetting theme. You can get both Acropolis Luz and corresponding SBSetting theme via the MacCiti source.

trichome is a very nicely designed WinterBoard theme that contains 39 small icons (some are alternate icons), a wallpaper, dock, badges, pop-up mod, live clock mod and page indicators.

I really like the live clock mod implementation. You do not have to have the actual LiveClock app installed for the live clock to work with this theme… it is built into the theme. The theme also contains an icon mask which resizes all icons (besides web clip icons) so that they match the themed icons. It also contains a detailed .psd file allowing you to create your own icons for the theme. You can get trichrome via the modmyi source.

How to Install a Theme:

1. Your device must be jailbroken. (how?)
2. Make sure you have WinterBoard installed via Cydia.
2. Make sure you have the modmyi source installed in Cydia.
3. Search for trichome in Cydia, run the install.
4. Open WinterBoard and activate the trichome Theme.

Suave is a very nicely designed WinterBoard theme by Thyraz. The theme contains 114 icons including; icons for all the stock applications, a few additional applications and quite a few alternate icons. The theme also includes a wallpaper, statusbar, page dots, badges and a dock. The icons for this theme are smaller than the stock icon size however, the theme contains mask that re-sizes all the icons to match… even icons that are not actually modded by the theme. It does not however, re-size web clip icons.

There is a .psd icon template located in the theme’s folder (Library/Themes/Suave.theme) for those of you who would like to create your own icons. For those of you who would rather not create your own icons, you can get additional icons by visiting the theme’s original post on MacThemes. Suave is available via the modmyi source.
