Matte Nano Icons Two
I’ve had a couple of requests come in for some additional icons for the Matte Nano Winterboard theme. Included in this pack are:
- Gmail
- Google Calendar
- Mint
- Fever°
Feel free to download them and share with your friends.
Matte Nano Icons
Inspired by Shawn Blanc’s post a while back about jailbreaking his iPhone, I took to the task myself today and, so far, have been very impressed with the results. I have installed the apps that Shawn suggested, including Winterboard, the theming engine for jailbroken iPhones.
While Shawn was kind enough to post some of the icons he had made to fit the Matte Nano theme, I still had a few apps that, in my opinion, could still use better icons.
I have created 12 new icons to replace icons for the following apps:
- Weightbot
- Convertbot
- Ego
- FlipTime [iTunes link]
- Glyphboard
- Instapaper
- Lose It!
- Messages
- Simplenote
- Skype
- Things
- Voice Memos
I’ve created a zip file for you to download. Simply upload these to your iPhone using SSH and you’re gold. If you have any suggestions for making these icons better, or if you have an icon you’d like recreated for the Matte Nano theme, feel free to email me.
Inspired by Patrick Rhone’s home screen experiment, I’ve decided to move all of my iPhone app icons to the second page and beyond in order to determine which apps truly deserve to be on there.
I have a suspicion that most of the apps on my previous home screen will return, but I’m not one to simply let things remain for the sake of staying the same. I want my home screen to be the most efficient means of accessing my most-used apps, and I want to know exactly what those apps actually are.
(And yes, I have Jailbroken my phone.)
A truly brilliant and inspiring idea from Garrett Murray and the good people at Second Gear. All proceeds from over 120 indie Mac and iPhone apps sold on January 20 will go towards the work being done in Haiti. I strongly suggest you check out the list at IndieRelief.com and help those in need.
Rockstar.
They say a man buys something for a good reason, and the real reason. You buy an app from Tapbots because it does something useful, but in truth, you just wanted to play with it.
Pastebot: A Copy and Paste Playground – Shawn Blanc
Once again, another fantastic look at an app by the one and only Shawn Blanc. I don’t get the opportunity to use my iPhone much at work, so I haven’t had much opportunity to play with Pastebot, the new iPhone app from Tapbots, but from Shawn’s comments it appears as though there are a ton of applications for it. Pretty exciting stuff!
