Custom icon set, with Iconoclasm 3x3 sparse.
Huge thanks to AbusiveTortoise and meesebyte for helping me figure out the naming conventions of the theme (hint: I just copied Glassklart).

Did you size all your icons to 114x114? or are they custom sizes?

I got the icons from here: http://www.brankic1979.com/icons/
Then just centered them in a normal icon container with a transparent background. I was too lazy to resize them, plus I wanted tiny icons anyways! The real headache came from trying to get rid of the icon shadows and masks that iOS automatically adds to the springboard.

Did you by any chance change your iphone folder icon too?
because I'm retheming my phone and having icon size difference issues o_O lemme find an imgur link

The launcher and folder icons are hte right size but messages and alarm are not :(

That might be because of the naming of the icon? It looks like iOS is looking for a high res "@2x.png" and can't find it, so it uses the lo-res one. I think the file names for both the phone and the SMS are "[email protected]", but what I did that really helped was to download Glasklart and copy over the folders of the apps that I wanted to redo the icon for, then just save over the png with the new image.

Speaking of getting rid of the icon shadows and masks.. could you show me what you did?

I followed this thread (http://insanelyi.com/topic/6096-removing-icon-shadows-ios-5/) for the file locations and what to change, then got the "No Icon Shadows" tweak from Cydia just to make sure.

How the frack do you see the icons, let alone tap them?

hah the icon area is normal sized so I don't have to hit it exactly!

Looks great. I would recommend a five icon dock though. Think it would look a lot better. Or even removing the dock completely and going more minimalistic.

My phone has an issue with your chrome icon, not sure what it is. When I apply your theme, the chrome icon is surrounded in black. If I try to copy the png file to a different theme, the icon gets reverted to stock.
Any suggestions? I've seemed to notice Winterboard acting up lately when it comes to replacing png files, it's really hit or miss. So it may not be anything that I can fix.

beautiful. could you share them?
No prob! Here's the icon set, just put it in your themes folder and enable with Winterboard. You might have to remove the app masks and shadows by hand - this, and with the "no icon shadows" tweak (search it in Cydia, it's by MMI - make sure you get the tweak not the WB theme) is how I did it: http://insanelyi.com/topic/6096-removing-icon-shadows-ios-5/

thank you so much! i already have icons with a transparent background so that should be no problem
before I download this, are there as many icons as glaskart?
nah, there's just the 9 you see there plus camera, photos and folder replacement
