How to make a theme
First of all you might of guessed but you need an application from Cydia called Winterboard
Now follow these instructions:
1. Make a new folder on your computer(i put mine on desktop for easy access)(I am going to call it the Theme folder)
2. Now search all over the internet for a wallpaper you want and save it in the theme folder as “Wallpaper.png”*case sensitive*
3. Now search all over the internet for a lock screen wallpaper you want and save it in the theme folder as “LockBackground.png”*case sensitive*
4. Now search all over the internet for a dock you want and save it in the theme folder as “Dock.png”*case sensitive*
5. Now search all over the internet for a status bar you want and save it in the theme folder as “StatusBar.png”*case sensitive*
6. Now make a new folder inside the theme folder and name it “Icons”*case sensitive*
7. In here you will need to put 60 pixel by 60 pixel pictures and name them whatever the app`s name is on your springboard is (example: Safari.png) *case sensitive*
8. When you are done getting icons make a new folder inside the theme folder called “Bundles”
9. Make a new folder inside the Bundles folder and name it “com.apple.TelephonyUI” *case sensitive*
10. Now search the internet for a slider that you want for your lockscreen/power off/call
11. Name them like this:
Lockscreen name: “bottombarknobgray.png”*case sensitive*
Power Off name: “bottombarknobred”*case sensitive*
Calling name: “bottombarknobgreen”*case sensitive*
12. Make new folder inside the Bundles folder and name it “com.apple.springboard *case sensitive*
13. Find a badge (notification like on appstore telling you how many updates you have) and put it in there named “SBBadgeBG.png” *case sensitive*
14. Find a battery pack or make one (17 images each more filled then last) put the images in the com.apple.springboard folder
Names for battery images:
BatteryBG_1.png
BatteryBG_2.png
BatteryBG_3.png
BatteryBG_4.png
BatteryBG_5.png
BatteryBG_6.png
BatteryBG_7.png
BatteryBG_8.png

BatteryBG_15.png
BatteryBG_16.png
BatteryBG_17.png
15. make new folder inside the com.apple.springboard folder and name it “en.lproj” *case sensitive*
16. inside the en.lproj folder make a new “.txt” file and rename the whole thing SpringBoard.strings
17. Open up the SpringBoard.strings document and copy this in:
“AWAY_LOCK_LABEL”=”CHANGE ME”;
“POWER_DOWN_LOCK_LABEL”=”CHANGE ME”;
“SLIDE_TO_ANSWER”=”CHANGE ME”;
18. Change where it says CHANGE ME
“AWAY_LOCK_LABEL”=slide to unlock label
“POWER_DOWN_LOCK_LABEL”=slide to power off label
“SLIDE_TO_ANSWER”=slide to answer label
IF IT SAYS *case sensitive* THAT MEANS TYPE EXACTLY HOW I NAMED IT!!!
