Instructions for Black Background Behind App Icons on the Iphone.

Apple Store Applications will sometimes leave behind black or grey shadows/backgrounds 
behind them when they are customized through winterboard. This may be the case with one 
of the already themed icons (such as facebook, Twitter, etc) or in the case with one of 
your icon's image you customized yourself using my framing guide and icons. Either way 
this background/shadow is annoying and if they are not in the customized folder background 
included in my MarioBrOS theme they can be quite the eye-sore.To fix this you must SSH 
into your iPhone's filing system using Ifile (or another application/computer program). I 
highly recommend Ifile to ALL jailbreakes as it the easiest and most convient way to access 
your iPhone's file system.
MobileIcons.framework

Step 1: SSH into your iPhone's filing system into /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/
mobileIcons.framework

Step2: Locate these images;(depending on your iDevice, Retina devices must edit the 
@2x.pngs and non-retina devices must edit the .pngs)

AppIconMask~iphone.png(3G & 3GS)
AppIconMask@2x~iphone.png(i4)

AppIconOverlay~iphone.png (3G & 3GS)
AppIconOverlay@2x~iphone.png (i4)

AppIconShadow~iphone.png (3G & 3GS)
AppIconShadow@2x~iphone.png (i4)

DefaultAppIcon~iphone.png (3G & 3GS)
DefaultAppIcon@2x~iphone.png (i4)

DefaultSmallAppIcon~iphone.png (3G & 3GS)
DefaultSmallAppIcon@2x~iphone.png (i4)

SmallAppIconMask~iphone.png (3G & 3GS)
SmallAppIconMask@2x~iphone.png (i4)

SmallAppIconOverlay~iphone.png (3G & 3GS)
SmallAppIconOverlay@2x~iphone.png (i4)

Step 3: rename these files with some letters at the beginning or end. I renamed mine 
(OLD)image name, so for AppIconMask@2x.png (I have an iPhone 4) I renamed it 
(OLD)AppIconMask@2x.png. This "creates" a back-up file if you wish to undo this later 
AND it removes those nasty black/grey background/shadows from our apple app store 
customized icons!

Remember, This process REMOVES ALL FORMATTING FOR ICONS!!!! This means that if you 
unload MarioBrOS and load a different theme, those icons will NOT have rounded edges, 
or a gloss effect, etc!! (But why would you ever have another theme? :P  )

Since every single Icon in my theme IS themed and there is the frames and instuctions 
to theme any apps I did NOT include, you can customize every app on your iPhone so that 
it matches the theme and is rounded and gloss removed, etc.
