IPod App Review 2: Summerboard

    I'm sure if you have Installer on your iPod you are also bored of the lame old theme with lame old icons. Enter Summerboard, your key to making total eye candy out of your iPod. The sources you download from are already in Installer, so just go find it and install. There are some cool themes that come with it, but what I use is PlainJain without the background. To get more themes, go back to Installer and look under "Themes (Summerboard)" for some fine stuff. They download fast and are also quit fast to apply.

    It is a shame you can't preview the theme before downloading it, but that's a problem with Installer. The dev team for Summerboard even shows you how to make your own on their website. Unfortunately you'll have to make the images separately and do some mild hacking to get the theme onto your Touch. Rearranging icons would help but I believe other programs do that. But that can be had in future versions, and until then Summerboard is still the gold standard for skinning your iPod or iPhone.

 

Good:

Installs themes easily and fast

Simple, logical interface 

Bad:

No previewing of themes (Not a problem with Summerboard itself)

Can't make themes in the program itself or a computer program

Can't rearrange icons

Verdict: If you're hacking your iPod, get this or you'll be lame.
