Has anyone been able to mod Atomic Web Browser's icon?

I've found the Atomic Browser folder in my WinSCP, however whenever I swap the icon.png file and respring, nothing changes :( Does anyone know which png I have to swap to make my Atomic less stupid looking?

That's how it's usually done on the iPhone... Are there any other icons in the folder that it may be using? You can try those or try to reboot. Sometimes Springboard needs to clear it's cache.
 
Just tried a reboot, still nothing :( The weirdest thing, too. On my stupid Dell it's a trial and error type situation, since I can't just pull all the pngs out of the folder and view w/ MS photo manager, it just gives me black icons. No images at all :(
 
The icon names are changed on the iPad. Instead of Icon.png they are now Icon-iPad.png.
 
The icon png file you need to change is Atomic72px.png

Make sure the png you're replacing it with is also 72px.

Damn, I could have sworn that's one of the pngs I tried to swap and it didn't work yesterday. But it worked fine today, lol. Thanks for the help!
 
The easiest way to change an icon is to copy the one you like over to the app folder, then change the name of the icon in the info.plist file with iFile to look like this


<key>CFBundleIconFiles</key>
<array>
<string>Icon-iPad.png</string>
<string>Icon-iPad.png</string>
</array>

Then respring and the icon will update

Icon-iPad.png obviously needs to match the filename you have copied over. I use the default Safari icon for my icon.

Simple as that

Sometimes respring or restart doesn't clear the cache, so you have to ssh into the cache directory:

/private/var/mobile/Library/Caches/com.apple.IconsCache

and delete the icon cache file there.
