I've tried like 10 or more different themes and none of them work with 3.0. Does anyone know of any that do work?
Subscribed.
I'm looking to change my green bubbles to blue.
I'm sure there's a way to SSH and change any "SMS"references to "Messages" but I don't know the location.
I went here:
http://www.modmyi.com/forums/new-ski...ollection.html
and downloaded the folder after registering with that site.
Using SSH navigate to:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ChatKit.framework/
and replace the Balloon_1.png and Balloon_2.png files with the .png images/colors of your choice. Cyberduck works great.
Balloon_1.png is the Sender (you)
Balloon_2.png is the Recipient (your friend)
It's very simple and easier than you might think. Good luck!
Is Winterboard needed?
No, that's not correct. If you're replacing the original files in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ChatKit.framework/ you do NOT need WinterBoard. All you need is OpenSSH, to be able to access the folder.Yep, its needed so you can use themes

Thanks. I hate the idea of installing winterboard -- I'd prefer to do whatever changes I can manually rather than having some 3rd party app running.
Here is what you have to do to get sms bubbles to work in Winterboard:
1. Create a folder named "SMS bubbles" on your desktop (No quotation marks)
2. Inside that folder create a folder named "Bundles"
3. Inside the "Bundles" folder create a folder named "com.apple.chatkit"
4. Place the balloon colors that you would like to use in the "com.apple.chatkit" folder
5. SSH the SMS bubbles folder into your themes section in winterboard
6. Apply the theme in winterboard
7. Done
I still haven't found a way to change the background yet.
Not sure I understand all you are trying to do.
Are you just trying to change the color of your SMS bubbles ?
If so, just replace the balloon_1.png and balloon_2.png in this path....
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ChatKit.framework/
Save originals in case.
You don't have to create any folders this way, no Winterboard to check, and the colors work with every theme you choose (in case you vary your themes as I do)
If this is not your objective, please disregard.
He gave instructions on how to make it its own stand alone winterboard theme. Many people like myself do not like to touch the original system files. i would rather just activate/deactivate a winterboard theme if I ever wanted to return to stock instead of having to ssh back in and re-rename the old files to their original names
I really don't see why everyone is so scared of SSH'ing; especially when there are GUI clients that enable you to drag and drop just like Finder. I could understand people's hesitations about using Terminal; but come on, you're simply dragging and dropping files.
