It’s not a secret that many people don’t approve of Vista and sometimes don’t even want to hear anything concerned it. This time you shouldn’t. The new VistaPerfection 2.0 iPhone theme will impress you greatly.

VistaPerfection is a Summerboard compatible theme and it makes iPhone look a PC-like station with beautiful design and a complete set of customization elements:

Boot and restore images
Over 90 icons
WiFi icon
Edge icon
Dock
Sliders
Vista login/logoff sound scheme

If you have an upgrade version of Firmware 1.1.1, you need to complete the installation of SummerBoard manually. Just read and follow the instructions included in the INSTALL file. So here is the link (Download SummerBoard Alpha for Firmware 1.1.1), and this file is the latest alpha release. The Summerboard Alpha works both on iPhone and iPod Touch.

SummerBoard is totally free. All users who wish to donate are encouraged.

All SummerBoard themes are very easy to make. They are stored up in this folder: /var/root/Library/SummerBoard/Themes/

Every theme has a folder in there, structured this way:

ThemeName/StatusBar.png – that is optional status bar image with 320×20 PNG, alpha

Theme Name/Wallpaper.png – that is the wallpaper with 320×480 PNG, no alpha

Theme Name/Dock.png – That is the large dock image with 320×91 PNG, alpha

All your icons go in ThemeName/Icons/ (optional, 59×60 PNG, alpha)

Also when you save your graphic files it’s better to use save for Web command in Adobe Photoshop to reduce icon sizes and optimize your graphics. It saves server bandwidth, time and space on your iPhone.
