[WIP] Leopard UI for iPad

[therealduckie]

Leopard UI

There are far too few FREE themes for the iPad. There are also far to few themes in general for the iPad. So, here is my contribution.

Theme:
Leopard UI for iPad
a complete redesign of my original SD theme (which is still in Cydia).

Notes:

• coded to work without the ancient "summerboard mode" enabled
• active wallpaper.html that doesn't time-out like so many others (i.e. stops updating)
• icons on dock sized smaller so up to 16 icons can be used via Infinidock
• "Finder" bar is a reference point to enable SBSettings
• time, date, and weather widgets are an homage to the old app for Mac OS called "Stattoo"

Apps used for effect:
SBSettings
Winterboard
Infinidock
CleanStatus

Apps on dock (in order):
iFile
Mail
App Store
Dashboard
Safari
Terra
Address Book
Calendar
Music
PS Express
Photos
Videos
VLC
Torrentula
Settings
Poof!

Still in progress:

• Need to move "Finder" bar image down a couple of pixels
• Slight changes to the widgets (alignment, etc)
• Dock needs to be more realistic in size and relfection
• tweak size of text in iCal icon date
• find a way to move Wifi icon to right
• and more...

If anyone knows how to move the badges down, please let me know. I know it can be done, but I can not find documentation anywhere. I can move the badge down a few pixels, but the text is in a plist or string file somewhere and I can not find where or what to edit.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Thanks!

Nice try.
Sadly while I love OSX I find it's desktop too cluttered. Always preferred my desktops lean n mean.

I like Vanilla. You might like Chocolate. People's tastes differ. My original theme has been downloaded over 127,000 times from Cydia, so obviously someone likes it.

Still, I appreciate your input.

New Screenshot with updated Widget. Now supports 4 icon rows without overlapping. Also added 'Page' indicator.

Also fixed: Icon reflections

Plus, an added bonus:

Leopard UI for iPod 4/iPhone 4 is in the works
