Transparent Icons to Show Off Your Wallpaper

[tonyc2584]

hey, great icons, using them with all themes. I know it must be hard you juggling icon making requests with real life. Why don't you make a tutorial on how to make them ourselves or upload photoshop templates, that way we can all contribute to this brilliant collection. I for one will gladly help.

Are you using a 3rd part app to show the wallpaper behind the icons? I can only get mine to stay black when the icons are showing.

I have summerboard installed on my 1.1.2. You would need to jailbreak your phone beforehand if you havent done already

With the lack of new Applications to keep us busy, I've gone back to doing some graphics to help breathe some life back in to my iPhone. This time around I wanted to make something that you Wallpaper folks might like, Transparent Icons!

Now you can show off your Wallpapers with icons that will let the background gently pass through. I've also made them greyscale so that they appear like less of an eye sore above your background.

This is a work in progress and I don't have every icon available yet, so if theres something missing, please post it and I'll add it to the theme for ya!

This set currently contains 72 icons.



You can also use all transparent icons to show off your saucy backgrounds:



Downloads

Theme Download Link (SendSpace) (New link 10/19/07 7:10pm)

VW Background (Photo by Richcarl32, Color Corrections by me)



How To Install

1. Download and Extract the "ClearCandy" folder from the zip file

If Using SSH:

1. Browse to the folder var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/
2. Drag the "ClearCandy" folder into this directory

If Using iBricker/Breezy/Manzana

1. Browse to the folder var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes
2. Create the folder "ClearCandy" or whatever you prefer in this case
3. Upload the Dock.png to this folder
4. Now create a folder named "Icons" and upload all of the icons from the zip file to the Icons folder you just created (tedious I know)

Once the Theme is Transferred

You now have a few options, first off you can add your own wallpaper image by uploading your wallpaper as Wallpaper.png to the "ClearCandy" folder. You can also upload the VW wallpaper here to that folder if you'd like.

If you prefer, you can use your iPhone's Wallpaper by Turning Off "Theme Wallpaper" in your SummerBoard settings.

Finally, if you'd like to make your Dock icons appear in color as I have in the example above, just use Mobile Finder to browse to the Icons folder in the "ClearCandy" theme directory and rename the icon images you don't want to appear transparent. I just put a 0 in front of mine so if I want to rename them later they'll be easy to find.

Anyway to get these other than through SendSpace?
It is always busy, so it is impossible to download the files.
Meaning that they want money, for a memebership!

Please advise

Does anyone know how to change the stock icons to transparent? Is there a program to use? If anyone could help that would be great. I love this icon set, but it looks like it may not be updated. Over a month since last update. I now have 1/2 transparent and 1/2 not icons and its not lookin good.

Any help with how to do it, or a link to where I can find the info would be great.

I would also love to use these icons but using 1.1.1 and ibrickr it will not work!!!

Any help appreciated

Sorted it, my problem was I did not use a capital I in Icon when I used icon the icons stayed standard, changed this to Icons and everything works fine.


Thanks for this great mod
