[Update] Ultimate Leopard 1.1


Update 1-16-08: Introducing Ultimate Leopard 1.1! Here is what is new:

-More wallpapers (11 in all)
-More icons (113 in all)
-Old icons tweaked
-New, improved dock
-Sliders optimized
-iSolitaire theme

It also has all of the old stuff:

-2 Hot safari skins by Romeboard
-Trash bin hack
-Drawers hack for Stacks
-Psx4all skins

When I started working on this theme over a month ago, my goal was to create an exact replica of the Leopard operating system, and I have to say, I'm almost there. This theme now has an insane amount of icons and more skins and extra goodies than most Summerboard themes, and it will only get better. The next update (2.0) will have an improved Safari skin, a Calculator skin, an iTunes music skin, different docks with dividers, and more emphasis on Stacks. I hope you all enjoy this update while I prepare the next one!

Upcoming stuff...

Sorry I haven't posted all week, I've been a little bit busy. I'd like to announce two upcoming themes-- Ultimate Litho and Project Simplicity. I don't have any previews yet as I'm in the early stages of making them. Ultimate Litho is a compilation of almost every single Litho icon from Icon Factory. It will have the most icons out of all Litho themes to date. Ultimate Litho is basically going to do for Litho what Ultimate Leopard did for Leopard themes. I can't say much about Project Simplicity at this point other than it will make your iPod/iPhone feel like a desktop computer. Sort of like Vista and Leopard themes, except this isn't based on any specific operating system. In other news, I'm probably going to be changing the theme of the week to a monthly, nominate and vote format. Also be sure to check out Touch Life's slick new layout.

SMB Heaven Theme of the Week


Aloho everyone. Well, Alohosoft. SMB Heaven's first Theme of the Week is Aqwoah. Why? Because it has hundreds of icons that are updated often, a keyboard, a battery, a dialer, two calculators, and an iBlackjack skin. And they all look amazing.

Runner-up

The runner-up is READ MY MIND by FloProjek. The icons are beautiful and complement the background very well. The dialer is also an added bonus. The only problem is that it comes with a minuscule 30 icons and a kit for those with cluttered springboards to make their own.

Most likely I will have badges for the next winners to place on their theme's thread/homepage.

I haven't had a chance to take a screenshot of the stacks hack. If someone does it why not post a pic?
