  • This is my “Badge” theme which I made under my alias AppleTreeThemes.  This project took roughly 600 hours of my spare time to finish. This theme was designed to be totally extendable and adaptable. That is, I created Photoshop actions to automatically save off new versions of this theme which I explain in the thread How to Make a New Badge Theme in Seconds. As a result, community members made tons of variations on the theme which you can view in the thread Post YOUR Badge Themes. I believe understanding how to make extendable systems is an integral skill for an interface artist. Please visit the release thread to get a better understanding of the project as a whole or to download the themes. The following work was completed:

    • 10 keyboards (Only for 1.1.3/4)
    • 10 Other.artwork files (Only for 1.1.3/4)
    • 34 Summerboard themes, each with icon support for 311 separate applications
    • 10 iSolitaire themes (Note, I re-did every single card in the deck, in my own style )
    • 10 Music player themes, each with two choices for music player bottom bar
    • 10 Categories icon sets with 22 icons each
    • Safari skin including webmasks
    • Startup and restore screens for winpwn
    • 10 night and day Weather backgrounds
    • 22 Battery skins
    • 10 Calendar skins
    • 10 Calculator skins
    • 10 unlock bottom bars, power bars, slide to unlocks, slide to power off, and tap to unlock bars


  • These are all of the color variations that I created for this theme.  It was quite a lot of work!  I'm glad I had Photoshop actions to automate a lot of it for me.
