Title: AmigaDOS 1.3 theme for iPod Touch/iPhone
Post by: yorgle on January 06, 2008, 06:31:00 PM
Hey all.  I just threw this together last night.

It is a SummerBoard theme for the jailbroken iPod Touch and iPhone (1.1.1 or 1.1.2) that gives it an Amiga 1.3 feel. You can snag it from my Installer Repository at http://umlautllama.com/app.xml

Pics are online here:

There are more icons than what is shown there, but it gives you a good feel for it. :D

The "Videos" icon is really the only one I snagged off the net;  All of the icons are from screenshots of Workbench 1.3, Extras 1.3, Gizmoz 2.0, Deluxe Paint, Dpaint Art and Utility Disk, MED, Fantavision, and Deluxe Video.

That's wicked! Never bothered to install SummerBoard.... until now :-) Thank you!

Makes one wonder if such a treatment would be possible to other mobile phones as well. I´d love to do something like that to my Nokia 6110 (the new one, with GPS, not the old).

I believe that most of the newer phones have some sort of skinning/themeing mechanism; some of them are within the phone firmware itself, or hacks by 3rd party people.

@yorgle:

Right after pressing the ´Submit´ button I had a look on Goolge and indeed... software enough to pull it off. Now, all I need to do is install WinUAE and rip those icons I guess. And feed them to the software.

@bloodline
Could this *finally* convince you to JailBreak your iPhone? ;-)

Nein, noch nicht! I want to see what 1.1.3 gives first!

You can grab the .zip file; http://umlautllama.com/ip/zips/AmigaTheme.zip and snag out the .png icon image files from it, if that makes your life easier. :)

@yorgle:

Thanks a bunch! I´ll have a go at it, once ready and satisfied I´ll put it on the net for everyone to download. Great!
