    Lethal--

    Is there a way that I could get the Red Tribal theme or the theme that you hosted onto a Nano? I want to do it for a couple friends of mine, and they have no clue about iPods. Thanks!

    It is possible, but not really worth it. It would involve you manually cropping & resizing each image & virtually reconstructing the theme. You are best off downloading a different, pre-made nano theme here..

    Enjoy!

    Ya jazo123... I tried resizing a Nano theme to fit the video and I gave up trying on the first part!

    Thanks to Lethal I've got a very nice theme - I touched it up with the Super Mario font though.

    Hehe, success!

    Nice to see people getting good themes up on their iPods, and may I say, darkjello, the theme with the actual Mario text looks fantastic!

    Watch this space!

    It's just a tiny bit to big so the top gets cut off a little bit. But I find it more legible that way. It's size 14 so I might try 13.5 sometime later on if I get around to it. I like it though :)

    PS - The images are a little large, but I have no idea how to resize them. Anyone care to enlighten me?

    Get [bold]Mihov Image Resizer[/bold] -- it does the job for me :)

    It's pretty straightforward to use, but if you get stuck, PM me ;-)

    That Mario theme is awesome! Especially with the font, that puts the icing on the cake. The best Super Mario was the one for Super Nintendo.

    Back on task:

    Lethal- I was wondering if you could write the Red Tribal theme onto a 1.0 firmware and post the download in here. If not, no biggie, but if you can, that would be awesome.

    I just can't seem to get it with this dumb @ss computer, not blaming the computer, but it's just been having sooo many problems lately.

    Thank You!

    That's a pretty nifty program, thanks for the suggestion of it.

    Re:

    <3> Load the iPod Updater that your just downloaded. I recommend v1.0 (2005-11-17), but it should work with any other Updater.

    Lethal: Am I to assume that i have to reload the software. Or can I skip this step as I've already rolled back to 1.0

    If you are trying to update your firmware with v1.0 and that is the firmware you have on your iPod, you will either have to downgrade the firmware with iHack, so you can just click update [much faster] or you can click restore. If your modified firmware is past v1.0 then you can just click update. [if the update option is avalible for you to click then you can use it]

    Feelflows - regardless of which firmware version you are running, you still have to load it in order for it to be modified. So even if you have downgraded to v1.0, you still have to load the v1.0 Updater in order to mod it & apply the changes to your iPod.

    No it wont. If you Click the "Downgrade Firmware" button with your iPod docked, then you can simply "Update" your iPod using the Updater afterwards, which will apply the changes without disrupting any of your data.

    Lethal--

    My comp. with the iPod Wizard, iHack, etc. crashed yesterday. I was wondering if you could write the Red Tribal theme onto the firmware for me, if you could, because I am using a friend's computer at the moment to do all of this. He's kind of anal about the hacking thing, and feels that it is going to harm his PC, so he won't let me download iPod Wizard of iHack. If you could do this for me it would be a great help. Thank you so much! :)

    Yes, I can't find the updater software that I downloaded from the megaupload link. I know that I stored it on the C drive and it is there when I check, but when I open iPod Wizard and click Open Updater I can't find the file there. Can you try to thoroughly explain to me the steps that I need to take to install the themes on the 5th gen iPod Video.
