Amphibious is an extremely unique theme. Normally, I’m not big into “themed” themes, but this one is very well designed. The theme contains quite a few mods including a Weather app mod, iPod app mod, lockscreen mod, lockscreen battery mod, badges, page dots, statusbar, dock, wallpaper and 50 icons. The app also includes 7 alternate wallpapers, an alternate dock, an alternate statubar bar and quite a few alternate icons (these alternate mods would all have to be viewed/changed via ssh).

The developer of the theme does give you a few options in WinterBoard including the ability to turn on/off the Weather app mod, the iPod app mod, the lockscreen battery mod, the Digital LiveClock mod, the Lockscreen mod and the option to choose a 4 icon or 5 icon dock wallpaper. This makes the theme easily customizable.

WinterBoard Settings will add an option for WinterBoard in your stock iPhone Settings application. When selected, you have the option to turn on/off SpringBoard Only (which will apply WinterBoard themes to only your SpringBoard) and Debug (I’m not exactly sure what this setting would do). You can also view all your WinterBoard themes from the Settings option.

Launch Cydia > Select “Sections” at haptic menu > Select “System” category > and Select “WinterBoard Settings” or you can tap “Search” in Cydia and type “WinterBoard Settings” > Select “install” button at the right top and confirm it to install.

Ultimately, you would no longer need to use the WinterBoard application itself, you could do everything through the WinterBoard Settings. When testings WinterBoard Settings, I found that the two applications (WinterBoard itself and WinterBoard Settings) override each other. For example, if you set a theme using the WinterBoard Settings and then you go in a choose a theme from WinterBoard itself…it will override the theme you chose using the WinterBoard Settings and vice versa.

I also found that the SpringBoard Only option seemed to work. It leaves anything that shows up on the SpringBoard (Wallpaper, Dock, StatusBar, Wifi icon…etc) activated but turns off the theme’s mods like calculator, dialer, sms…etc. It also leave the theme’s lock screen mods activated as well.

Thanks for the great design of Winterboard. If you have basic Javascript / HTML knowledge, you can easily create your own Winterboard theme. Here there is Winterboard called “Rotating Wallpaper”, that allows you to select a total of six photos that will be rotated in every 15 seconds. The theme is quite primitive and more features (like fading effect) will be added later. In order to use rotating wallpaper your iPhone must be jailbreak first. You can check out on how to unlock and jailbreak iPhone 2G here.

Install Rotating Wallpaper Via Disk Aid

The theme is freely for download and you can install it via DiskAid. Download theme here and and follow the procedures mentioned in "How To Install WinterBoard Theme Using Disk Aid"

Custom With Your Own Photos

You’re free to replace the default photos with your own for the rotating wallpapers. After you decompress the theme package, go to the “Private” folder. All wallpaper images can be found there. Just copy your own photos and replace them. But make sure you should have the correct filename and the image should be best with width of 320 pixels and length not shorter than 460 pixels.

After replacement, you can just copy the “Rotating Wallpaper” folder to “/Library/Themes” folder on iPhone. Then launch Winterboard and select the “Rotating Wallpaper”, followed by clicking Home button to activate it.
