His is probably jailbroken (think that'd be the right term in this usage

) Can do many things once you jailbreak it, but to my knowledge cant change slide bar any other way.

I was wrong

I thought the link would work, but it dosn't. So now I need to ask, does anyone have a corvete theme for iPhone/iPod? It would really be great to have both my obsessions to get together.

So here is the dumb question of the day, do you have to jailbreak your phone to do this and what are the negative issues of jail-breaking your phone?

You could mess up you phone but nothing serious, just restore and you will be back to normal.

I have had warranty work done on my Jailbroke phone. all you do is restore to factory settigns and take it in.

Jailbreaking is worth every second it takes to do. (total of 15sec)

its actually slower than it takes most of us to fly down the 1/4 mile.

I downloaded the deb file from the link listed earlier in the post... SSH'd(copied) to the var/ mobile folder on my phone with a program called WinSCP. Then used iFile to open/ install the theme. Reboot the phone, then open Winterboard to select the Corvette theme. The phone will respring/ restart to initiate the new theme... I created the homescreen from the HTC Hero theme found on the Modmyi.com site... I changed/ created the background(Wallpaper) I used a photo editing program to customize the icons... I'd like to find a nice (portrait) LMB Corvette(maybe my own avatar) for the Lockscreen... Other than that I'm very happy with it.
