Whitoken Winterboard theme installation guide

Part 7: SSH Time!

I. Download and install WinSCP on your computer.

iPod Touch WiFi

2. Make sure your iPod touch/iPhone’s WiFi is on and connected to a network. Go to Settings – > WiFi. Tap the arrow of the network you’re connected to, and write down your IP address.

WinSCP login info

3. Open WinSCP. Click the New button on the top right. For Host name, enter in your iPod Touch/iPhone’s IP address. For username enter in root and for password enter in alpine. Once you’ve entered in all this information, click the Save button and then click OK.

WinSCP Saved Entry

4. Click the login button. WinSCP will show “Searching for host…” and “Connecting to host..”. After that a window will pop up saying that Host has not answered for more than 15 seconds, just wait. When you SSH for the first time it takes some time for WinSCP to login. Make sure your iPod Touch/iPhone is connected.

5. A Window saying “WARNING – POTENTIAL SECURITY BREACH” will pop up. Just click the Update button.

6. If you’re asked for your password, enter alpine and then click OK.

7. Now minimize the WinSCP window, and Download the Whitoken theme. Open the Whitoken ZIP file, and extract all the files to a folder named Whitoken on your Desktop.

8. Go back to WinSCP and on the left hand window locate your Whitoken folder where you extracted all the files.

9. Navigate to /private/var/stash/Applications. Copy all the files named _shortcutx_x.app from the Whitoken folder to this directory.

    some problems i am having if you could please help me.. under each category folder home, media etc there is no background or wallpaper.. how do i get the ones from the theme? also for some icons they do not change to suit the theme such as crash bandikoot.. i tried to change the icons manually via ssh but to no avail (just looking for a totally clean interface).
