I wanted to learn how to do this for the longest..

This is an example of what I have seen someone else with and wonder how did he/she even start going about it? I know people have asked many times before but I'd appreciate a link to a guide or something to get me started.

Thanks..

I think you need to be a little bit more specific on what it is you want to know exactly.
What do you know how to do already?

If you want to make a theme like that, you'll need to learn basic Photoshop skills, basic HTML, and basic CSS. If I was in your position, I would start by downloading that theme and picking it apart file by file to figure out how it actually works. Once you know what does what, you can get a better idea of what you want to accomplish.

Come over to MacThemes forum and post in the support section once you have some more specific questions, if you'd like.

I don't really know how to do anything, Im sure it seems extremely complicated but I just wanted to know how there was a clock and calendar on his home screen like a widget. Also, his status bar is completely different, I also want to know how to change the symbols on the status bar. Instead of a battery and at&t bars I want to see something else.

OP do you want to learn how to create themes and such or do you just want to learn how to change themes and icons on your iOS device?
