In iPodwizard. Once you have finished theme modifications, click the "downgrade" button which is located in the top-right hand side of the Wizards' interface. (I would suggest clicking it twice).

Okay, I did this and all the images are messed up bad. The images are all mixed up and there's only half of each image on my iPod (i.e. there's a battery when I try to change the volume). I'm very concerned if I screwed something up bad. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Are the group of bitmap images applicable to the particular version of the iPod's firmware that you are using?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are. They are just all Jumbled around and some images are cut in half.

Buddy, I think your firmware is different to the firmware in which the bitmap images are intended for. Which version are you running?

Okay, I have found that it is only meant for the 1.1.1 firmware. I'll try another one and see if that works. Thanks for the help so far!

I am not absolutely sure where you got that one from either. However, you link me to the theme you would like, then no matter if they are for v1.1 or v1.1.1, I will convert them for you so they become compatible with v1.0. :-)

I actually found it. I updated to v1.1.1 on my iPod and now I am trying to put the Windows Theme on the iPod. I'll post back if it works.

Alright then. I hope, for your sake, that you manage to pull it off. Once you have done it once, it gets a lot easier to understand :-)

Well, I didn't pull it off. It does the same thing (mixes up icons). I thought I had it this time, but I didn't. Any suggestions?
P.S. I know that it is loading the right icons because of the percentage thing on the battery, except the other icons are jumbled. And, I restored it instead of clicking "downgrade firmware" because I didn't need to downgrade the firmware, just mod it.

Jazo, there is one thing you need to know about the "downgrade" button & "iHack".. neither of them downgrade your iPod. All they do is mess with the firmware so the Updater thinks you are running an older firmware, (when in actual fact you aren't) which will allow you to simply "Update" your firmware to apply your theme, rather than having to restore your iPod.

This may sound silly, but are you totally sure you have a correct (v1.0) bitmap archive for your updater? because the index numbers for each particlar graphic are similar between the firmwares, but not the same..

I actually have the v1.1.1 firmware on my iPod, now. I don't know what the theme is meant for, but I thought that it was for v1.1.1, not 100% sure, though. How do I know?

I try doing it the way where you press "Downgrade Firmware" twice, but before even a fraction of a second passes it says that it is done and nothing happens. Any clue as to what I'm doing wrong?

You're doing nothing wrong at all. Do this twice, exit iPW, Open your updater & update :-)

It still has the jumbled images. I don't even think that the battery is right because I left it charging all night and it still only says 10%.

Jazo, download & install this theme, as it is a definite & proper theme for version 1.1.1. You don't have to keep it.. but let's see if we can get it to work & get your modding career off to a start :-)

Hey Lethal
You said that the most letters that I should have on my title bar is the most 7. Does this also count for the menu screen??? Is there a specific number that I have to be under??? For example, if I were to change the word "songs" can I put whatever I want or does it has to be less than a certain number.
What I'm trying to say is, does it matter how long or short of a word I change to "besides" the title bar???
Thanks

Aye, they wall work in the same manner. The next tutorial I post will be substantially longer than the previous three, and will explain in detail how you can achieve longer-length words.
I the guide will drop soon and will show the methods clearly & in detail. But things can get a little tricky at this point, so please be patient, and let me explain things properly in a tutorial, rather than me explain it briefly and you brick your iPod. :-)

I still can't seem to figure the stupid thing out. I greatly appreciate your help through all my stupidity, lol. It still has jumbled images, but evry time that I try agian the images are jumbled differently.
Another question: If I am running 1.1.1 firmware, which firmware version should I open in iPW: 13.6.1.1 or 14.5.1.1?
Again, thank you soo much for the help you are giving me.
