SMB Theme transfer question

[dichertz]

I know I know,
Use the search feature.
I don't feel like it.

Every theme I have on my phone I have downloaded from Installer.
I decided that I have every decent theme from Installer, so I went to modmyiphone.com and found quite a few themes I like.
I downloaded them to my desktop, opened them with WinRAR and have the unzipped files ready to go.

Should I use winSCP to transfer them or iPhonebrowser?
I should put them in SMB Themes, correct?
Which permissions do I have to change?
What other problems can I avoid by asking now?

Thank you
Good Day

The themes should be in individual folders. Just use WinSCP and copy those folders to var/mobile/library/Summerboard/themes/ and they should show up. While you're at it, look to see if any you've installed went to var/root/library/Summerboard/themes/..... if so, move them to mobile. This should sound familiar.

[dichertz]

Yeah, it does. I don't understand a damn thing, but I certainly recognize it.

Also, do I just move that book from mobile to root?

Good Day, eh?

for most recent apps it's root to mobile. For old apps, I suppose it would be mobile to root.

If that makes sense to you, what the hell happened to us?

NONE of this makes sense to me.
I just listen and follow the orders of people who know.

I installed Cydia Packager lately. Can't see any SMB prefs or any option to change themes. I do not have the Installer on my phone.
HELP.
How to change the themes?
I have tried by installing the SMBPrefs manually & Leopard theme in the "var/root/library/Summerboard/Themes/Leopard" folder, but when I try to change the theme from SMBPref->Theme...I simply return to the home page!!
My Iphone's version is 1.1.4

I would sugest jailbreaking with ziphone and doing it the easy way. "installing them".

No, with 1.1.3 and up, themes need to go in var/mobile/library/Summerboard/Themes. If you have any in root, move them to the mobile directory and they should show up in SMBprefs

And silly me, I spent all that time downloading those damn files into mobile.

I am still on 1.1.2,therefore, I presume, the files go into root not mobile?

Now that you mention it, yes. That is probably so.
