Section 7: Changing cellular signal strength bars.

Note: If you replace any graphic with your own custom graphic, make sure you are saving the file as a png, and that it retains the same dimensions as the original. You can try experimenting with dimensions, but your restults may be mixed. You can get all the original signal strength images at my graphics directory here.

I am going to use a theme in Cydia called Color Signal Bars, to demonstrate how to change the cellular signal strength bars. In this case, 12 graphics must be created to replace the various signal levels on both a black and a white status bar. These files are named: Default_0_Bars.png, Default_1_Bars.png, Default_2_Bars.png, Default_3_Bars.png, Default_4_Bars.png, Default_5_Bars.png, FSO_0_Bars.png, FSO_1_Bars.png, FSO_2_Bars.png, FSO_3_Bars.png, FSO_4_Bars.png, and FSO_5_Bars.png.

Step 1.

You should be at your Themes.xxxxxx folder. Create a new folder called Cellular signal icons.





Now go inside this folder




Make a folder called Bundles




Now go inside this folder




Make a folder called com.apple.springboard




Now go inside this folder.




Now place all your cellular signal icons in this folder. It should look like this when you are done.

Step 2.

Launch WinterBoard and select your Cellular signal icons theme. Here's what it looks like.
