To change SMS background: Rename the picture you want to use to "SMSBackground.png", put that into a folder, name it e.g. SMSBackground, SSH it into your themes folder, respring.
 
Awesome, What did you use?

What program did you use to make those bubbles? Im trying to do some with textures/patterns like wood grain not quite sure where to start tho...

Thanks
 
thank you very much! been spending more than an hour trying to figure out how to change the sms bubble color, especially for iphone4 ;) thanks again!
 
are you on IOS4.1?


also do you use winterboard? i found it better to make this customizing as a theme so it can easily be turned on or off

yep 4.1 and also winterboard.. Is it supposed to show up in winterboard? or is there an option to turn them on? I SSH'd through PC

ok since your on OS4.1 you have to name slightly different

name the

Balloon_1@2x~iphone.png

and

Balloon_2@2x~iphone.png


now to make this a "theme" in winterboard so you can turn on and off do the following

make a folder on your desktop call it whatever you want it called in winterboard

ie: custom sms theme

in this folder you can add a background if you do not it uses that default background, custom background needs to be 480x480pxls and needs to be called

SMSBackground.png (case sensitive) this goes in the main custom theme folder, then make another folder called Bundles then inside that make a folder called com.apple.MobileSMS

put the two png files in this folder

copy theme to the var/stash/theme.xxxxx file on your phone open winterboard slect respring and you should be good


and to be clear there is a _ after Balloon its hard to tell because it underlines it all but you need the _ after Balloon
 
So i followed the provided instructions....

I got the INCOMING bubble to change fine, but the OUTGOING doesn't seem to want to change for some reason....


Anyone have any insite?
