150 Great Themes for your iPhone or iPod Touch (SummerBoard)

by Ross McKillop on April 24, 2008

Below you’ll find 150 of the best SummerBoard themes for the iPhone and/or iPod Touch.

While trying to find a SummerBoard theme for my iPod Touch I realized how much of a hassle it was to “preview” them. Most of the time you have to actually download and install it in order to find out what it looks like. So I decided to download and install as many as I possibly could – over 220. I took screenshots of the best 150 of them, and you’ll find those screenshots in this 3 page article.

To download and install any of the themes previewed here, first make sure you have SummerBoard installed. Then launch Installer.app, click Install and scroll down to the Themes (SummerBoard) section. Locate the theme you want to install, select it and click the Install button in the upper right corner. The theme will then be available to use via SummerBoard.

Please note: I’m not trying to increase page views by breaking this into 3 pages. I just don’t want to suck up all your bandwidth (or use all of mine) by forcing you to download 150 images all on one page. Click on any of the images to view a full size version of that theme.

If it’s at all helpful, here are my 10 favorite themes:

Aqwoah – includes icons for a lot of 3rd party apps
Buuf 2 – kinda cartoon’ish, but very, very clear and usable
Computer Matt – because it’s just so goofy
iLoveMMi – you’ll want to disable icon names for sure
Leaf – again, you’ll want to disable icon names
Louie Mantia Agua – very clean but elegant
Oren – of all the purple’ish themes, this is my favorite
Punisher – I’m not sure I love the background image/wallpaper, but the icons are great
Simple Sky – I like this one cause it’s simple, and blue
Smooth by Adam Jaz – one of the uh weirder named themes, but it is smooth

Good collection, though 150’s overkill. You should’ve gone for three posts of 50 each, in my opinion. The sheer size is intimidating.

I’m submitting this to digg and Stumbleupon, but I hope you’ll remove the pagination. Those sites’ users don’t like unnecessary diversions, you know.

(PS: nice header image).

Sumesh,

I debated w/ a good friend over how to do it – 3 separate posts of 50 or use the page feature of wordpress to break it down into less bandwidth intensive pages. I was personally of the opinion that if someone really wanted to find a theme they liked, they would rather click ‘next page’ than have to find the next post. My friend took your side – 3 posts of 50 themes. Looks like you guys are the majority :)

I have installed and applied a couple different summerboard themes with no problem. However I can’t seem to find several of the themes displayed here in my installer list. Any ideas why? There are a couple that I would like to get. I am new to this iPhone modification and customization stuff so any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you!

I found few that was really good. The one with the photos was very nice. The rest where a little boring or too much.

A shame that I’m not going to by one.

HI. I have the 1.1.4 version. where can I down load summerboard?? Also, is Springboard an app and do I need this one too? I would like to change the apprearance of my iphone.

Next question….if installer wont load, how can I fix it. It goes back to the home screen after a few seconds. I have boss tools and have moved my fonts and my ringtones. Not game to move my applications yet. Will they still work if I do move them? A friend suggested I free up some disc space.

Oh, I also have squid! If this helps in the suggestion of how to get installer going again.
I actually had it work for the first time in ages, so I deleted a heap of stuff, hoping this might do the trick, but as soon as I installed swirly mms and it asked to restart, it wouldnt download anything else and then after restarting it, it wouldnt even load installer again. So I had installer for all of 10 minutes.

If anyone can help me sort out a few little hiccups, I would be very appreciative.

So recapping….Summerboard source??
Springboard source..??

And then to get them on my jail broken…or was that just broken iphone…1.1.4 iphone,,,how to get my installer working properly again.

Thanks everyone for your time and patience..especially patience with me , as Im a noob at playing around with this great piece of electronics. Im a convert! I love my iphone!

Hoping to hear from all of you iphone experts as soon as possible! :o) Id love to hear from you!
Regards
Josephine.

To the people who asked how to use the themes , you need an app called Winter Board and i think you get it if you have jailbreaked your Ipod then go to Cydia (should come with ipod wen you jailbreak) and search for Winterboard then install it and taaddahh use all the themes you have.
