<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>How to install:</strong></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-346" title="ipwloadfirm" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ipwloadfirm1.png" alt="" width="687" height="652" /></p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-376" title="writetoipod" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/writetoipod1.png" alt="" width="690" height="658" /></ol>
<p>Other PS: when installing these firmware, it might delete the bootloader. So you will have to install it again<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20080609023826/http://www.mediafire.com/?6fcmn2r3bjd"><br />

<p><strong>How to add multiple background</strong></p>
<p>24322 is the default background picture at index 140, which you have to edit and add the second background at the right left corner.<br />
14015 is the clock (?) at index 7. You have to load your now playing background there.<br />
It will add this missing corner.</p>
<p>Now you have to edit left, top and right values to get these images to right place</p>
<p># Select ID 24322<br />
# Scroll this window to right, so you could see “left”, “top” and “right” values.<br />
# Click on 83 and change it to -144. It is the left value. (It means how many pixels from left side of the screen)<br />
# Click on 6 and change it to -126. It is the top value.<br />
# Scroll back, select ID 14015<br />
# Scroll this window to right, so you could see “left”, “top” and “right” values.<br />
# Click on 0 (top value) and change it to -23<br />
# Click on -7 (right value) and change it to -144<br />
# Open Pictures tab<br />
# Load your backgrounds to Index 140<br />
# Load now playing background to Index 7<br />
# Press write to iPod button, eject and enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Difficulty &#8211; Very easy |</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-649" title="dfmt2" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/dfmt1.png" alt="" width="461" height="22" /></p>
<p>WinterBoard is an application, which can be found on Cydia, that allows you to apply different themes to your iPod or Iphone.</p>
<p>It is a small and very simple application that lets you choose which themes are being applied.</p>
<p>Simply downloading a theme from Cydia will not do anything to your device, here is what you&#8217;ll need to do:</p>
<ol>
<li>Open Cydia.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-166" title="WinterBoard" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard1.jpeg" alt="WinterBoard" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>Wait for the sources to load.</li>
<li>Go to the search tab<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-114" title="WinterBoard1" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard11.jpg" alt="WinterBoard1" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>In the search bar, enter &#8220;WinterBoard&#8221;.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-115" title="WinterBoard2" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard21.jpg" alt="WinterBoard2" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>There will probably be many themes that appear in the results, simply scroll down to &#8220;W&#8221;.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-116" title="WinterBoard3" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard31.jpg" alt="WinterBoard3" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>Click on the one named &#8220;WinterBoard&#8221;.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-117" title="WinterBoard4" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard41.jpg" alt="WinterBoard4" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>The next page gives a brief description of what the application does and a couple screenshots.</li>
<li>On the top right corner of the page is an &#8220;Install&#8221; button, press it.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-118" title="WinterBoard5" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard51.jpg" alt="WinterBoard5" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>Wait for the next page to load, and then press confirm.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-119" title="WinterBoard6" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard61.jpg" alt="WinterBoard6" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>Once the installation is completed, click the &#8220;Reboot Device&#8221;.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-121" title="WinterBoard7" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard71.jpg" alt="WinterBoard7" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>WARNING! Your screen will now turn black and your device will restart. DO NOT PANIC! It will return to normal in a few seconds.</li>
<li>If you like, you can go onto WinterBoard and try one of the demo themes that is provided.</li>
<li>Find the icon for &#8220;WinterBoard&#8221;.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-122" title="WinterBoard8" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard81.jpg" alt="WinterBoard8" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>You may click on any of the themes, for this demo, we chose the one named &#8220;Saurik&#8221;(creator of Cydia and WinterBoard)<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-123" title="WinterBoard9" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard91.jpg" alt="WinterBoard9" width="320" height="480" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124" title="WinterBoard10" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard101.jpg" alt="WinterBoard10" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>Now press the home button, and wait for your device to respring</li>
<li>This theme, as we can see applies a different font and has 2 different background images that interchange every so often.<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-125" title="Themed1" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Themed11.jpg" alt="Themed1" width="320" height="480" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-126" title="Themed2" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Themed21.jpg" alt="Themed2" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>If ever you get tired of this theme or you don&#8217;t like it at all, and want to choose a &#8220;better one&#8221;</li>
<li>Go to Cydia, choose the theme you like best and download it, the three following pictures will show you how to do that<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-128" title="NewTheme1" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/NewTheme11.jpg" alt="NewTheme1" width="320" height="480" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-129" title="NewTheme2" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/NewTheme21.jpg" alt="NewTheme2" width="320" height="480" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-130" title="NewTheme3" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/NewTheme31.jpg" alt="NewTheme3" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<li>Then to apply the theme repeat steps 13 through 15 as shown below with your new theme<br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-122" title="WinterBoard8" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/WinterBoard81.jpg" alt="WinterBoard8" width="320" height="480" /> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-131" title="NewTheme4" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/NewTheme41.jpg" alt="NewTheme4" width="320" height="480" /></li>
<p><span style="color: #f71107;">**WinterBoard works on hierarchy, this means that the first item checked will be applied first, then the icons that have nothing applied will be filled in by the second item, and so on and so forth**</span><br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-132" title="NewThemeFinal" src="http://www.ipodstudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/NewThemeFinal1.jpg" alt="NewThemeFinal" width="320" height="480" /></ol>
<p>And there you have it, you now have a shiny new theme.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
