How to manually add icons

Can't wait for an update and want to add an icon to your device yourself? You've come to the right place! Follow the steps below and you'll be sporting a new icon on your springboard in no time.

This icon request will be used as a reference for this guide.


Step 1: Assuming you have saved the Glasklart icon to your computer already, rename the saved icon with the name found under the Bundle ID heading of a icon request, using the following name pattern: Bundle ID``@2x``.png
iPhone Icon Name
So for the reference icon request above the icon name will be [email protected].

Step 2: Using a filesystem browser like iFunBox or DiskAid or via SSH, navigate to /Library/Themes/Glasklart iOS7 Icons.theme/IconBundles/

Step 3: Copy or move the renamed icon to this location (/Library/Themes/Glasklart iOS7 Icons.theme/IconBundles/).

Step 6: On your iDevice, open WinterBoard, deselect and re-select Glasklart iOS7 Icons, and respring.


You should now have the icon successfully added, if not you can troubleshoot the problem by making sure you've named things appropriately. If that doesn't work, you may want to post on comment on the icon request. Others can help you fix the problem and we will be able to get the icon properly added to the theme.


Note: You can also use iFile (from Cydia) to accomplish this if you know your way around the filesystem.
