-``` -<key>IB-MaskIcons</key> - <true/> -``` - -* Custom Icon Masks - -**NOTE: This is an optional step, if you do not want Icon Masks, skip this step** - -* Inside your `themeName.theme` folder, create another folder called 'Bundles' - * Inside `Bundles` create another folder called `com.apple.mobileicons.framework` - -#### Designing Masks - -**Masking does not support IconBundles, therefore you need to save the masks for each of the following** -

-* While creating the mask, make sure that the background is not a solid colour and is transparent -* Whichever area you want to make visible, it should be coloured in black - -Example (Credits: Pinpal): - - - -would result in - - - -### Packaging - -* Create a new folder outside `themeName.theme` with the name you want to be shown on Cydia, e.g `themeNameForCydia` -* Create another folder called `DEBIAN` in `themeNameForCydia` (It needs to be uppercase) -* In `DEBIAN` create an extensionless file called `control` and edit it using your favourite text editor - -Paste the following in it, replacing `yourname`, `themename`, `Theme Name`, `A theme with beautiful icons!` and `Your Name` with your details: - -``` -Package: com.yourname.themename -Name: Theme Name -Version: 1.0 -Architecture: iphoneos-arm -Description: A theme with beautiful icons! -Author: Your Name -Maintainer: Your Name -Section: Themes -``` - -* Important Notes: - * The package field **MUST** be lower case! - * The version field **MUST** be changed everytime you update your theme! - * The control file **MUST** have an extra blank line at the bottom! - -* Now, Create another folder called `Library` in `themeNameForCydia` -* In `Library` create another folder called `Themes` -* Finally, copy `themeName.theme` to the `Themes` folder (**Copy the entire folder, not just the contents**) - -### Building the DEB - -**For building the deb you need a `*nix` system, otherwise you can build it using your iPhones** - -##### Pre-Requisite for MacOS users -1) Install Homenbrew `/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"` (Run this in the terminal) -2) Install dpkg, by running `brew install dpkg` - -**There is a terrible thing called .DS_Store which if not removed, will cause a problem durin either build or installation** - -* To remove this we first need to open the folder in the terminal - -* Launch the Terminal and then drag-and-drop the 'themeNameForCydia' folder on the Terminal icon in the dock -* Now, run `find . -name "*.DS_Store" -type f -delete` - -##### Pre-Requisite for Windows Users -* SSH into your iPhone and drag and drop the `themeNameForCyia` folder on the terminal - -##### Common Instructions - -* You should be at the root of the folder in the terminal, i.e Inside `themeNameForCydia` -* running `ls` should show the following output - -``` -DEBIAN Library -``` - -* Now, in the terminal enter the following `cd .. && dpkg -b themeNameForCydia ` - -**Now you will have the `themeNameForCydia.deb` in the same directory** - -You can share this with your friends :+1: -</p></div><span>Tagged with: </span><ul class="tag-list"><li><a href="/tags/tutorial">Tutorial</a></li><li><a href="/tags/jailbreak">Jailbreak</a></li><li><a href="/tags/designing">Designing</a></li><li><a href="/tags/snowboard">Snowboard</a></li><li><a href="/tags/anemone">Anemone</a></li></ul></article></div><footer><p>Made with ❤️ using <a href="https://github.com/johnsundell/publish">Publish</a></p><p><a href="/feed.rss">RSS feed</a></p></footer></body></html>
