How to manually add icons

Günther edited this page Jun 10, 2020 · 29 revisions

Can't wait for an update and want to add an icon to your device yourself? You've come to the right place! Follow the steps below and you'll be sporting a new icon on your springboard in no time.

This icon request will be used as a reference for this guide.


Step 1:

Assuming you have saved the Glasklart icon to your computer already, rename the saved icon with the name found under the
Bundle ID heading of a icon request, using the following name pattern: Bundle ID -large .png.

iPhone Icon Name
So for the reference icon request above the icon name will be
com.runtastic.iphone.me.lite-large.png.

Another example: For issue #4296 the right icon name will be
com.weheartit-large.png.

Step 2:

Using a filesystem browser like iFunBox or DiskAid or via SSH, navigate to /Library/Themes/Glasklart Icons.theme/IconBundles/

Step 3:

Copy or move the renamed icon to this location (/Library/Themes/Glasklart Icons.theme/IconBundles/).

Step 4:

On your iDevice, open WinterBoard, deselect and re-select Glasklart Icons, and respring.


You should now have the icon successfully added, if not you can troubleshoot the problem by making sure you've named things appropriately. If that doesn't work, you may want to post on comment on the icon request. Others can help you fix the problem and we will be able to get the icon properly added to the theme.


Note:

You can also use iFile (from Cydia) to accomplish this if you know your way around the filesystem.
