Hi, I have already searched but it seems hard find a simple answer.

I have installed the Matte Nano Theme on my phone, the images for apps that have icons stored in the theme have been replaced, the others have just been masked/cropped to create smaller icons which is fine. However the SNES icon remains a large icon. I wondered why this was.

I would like to add icons to the theme for apps that dont have icons included. Am I correct in thinking that to replace an icon then you can either replace the actual app icon, or add an image to the folder within the theme so that when the theme is active it will use this instead.

If I can just add images to the theme folder, do I have to give the image a specific name, and are there any other files that need amending?

I have only Jailbroken it today and therefore am still learning all the ins and outs.

One last bit, apologies for going on a bit...

I replaced both PNG icons for the O2 logo/Text...
(The image I created was just coloured text on a transparent background)
On the Springboard the transparancy in the image is fine, however when I am in an app, then the area which should be transparent is showing black, does anybody know why this would be?

Thanks.

You can individually change the app icons within each theme. They need to be given the same name as the app and they are case sensitive (must be iPod not IPod etc). The large icon either just needs resized in Photoshop (the default is 64x64) or the correctly sized icon is misspelled or named incorrectly. No other files need to be changed.
