Acropolis – New iPhone/iPod Touch Theme by Krs

Krs has pipped up with another great theme called Acropolis. This one is a complete customization of your iPhone or iPod Touch including the icons, loadingscreens, UIImages, UISounds, key pad, battery and much more!

However it is quite complicated to install but luckily Krs has got a guide to show you where everything goes. You can download it here: Set-up Acropolis (1890)

Where to get it:

The theme itself does not have a download but you can get it from macciti.com’s repo: macciti.com/cydia

Weather:

Included in the theme is a weather widget which obviosuly you need to change for your location. Krs has included a tutorial on how to change it (guide by Patrese):

Changing the weather

The weather shows the weather for the default city, in degrees celsius or fahrenheit. Now, what do you need to do to change that?

To do that, use Total Commander or SSH to go to private/var/stash/Themes.XXXX/acropolis/private/configureme.js

In there you will see stuff like this:

var locale = “USNY0996″
var isCelsius = false
var source = ‘yahooWeather’
var updateInterval = 25

Now, if you want to change the weather to show your location you need to change the var locale code, which now says for example USNY0996 for New York. You can get to this code by going here and type your location in the search box. Once your location is active or showing on the screen, look in the address bar at the top of your browser. There you will see the code that you need to use. Just copy and paste the code into the configureme.js file.

A few examples :
var locale = “UKXX1822″ is London, Uk
var locale = “USDC0001″ is Washington DC
and ofcourse
var locale = “ITXX0043″ is Modena, Italy

If you want the degrees to show in celsius and not fahrenheit change
var isCelsius = true

Enjoy this one! I think I’m going to try it out myself.

    So… It’s not free?
    I found it in cydia, but it is $1.99.
    I’d rather not pay for it, not knowing if I’d like it or not.
    Is there a demo/free version?

      No sadly not. Yeah there has been a worrying trend of theme creators starting to demand a pay for their themes. I don’t like it :(

      • Kendrix says:

        You and me both.
        This theme is too awesome to cost money.
        Oh well, I like my illumine theme pretty well, even if it isn’t an iNav based theme.
        It still looks nice.
        :)

        I couldn’t set the weather with this theme anyway.
        No wifi at home.
        No openSHH.
        :)

      Open up the file at var/stash/Themes.XXXX/acropolis/private/configureme.js

      Then do CTRL+F and search for var locale and then replace the number after the var locale bit with the one for your location.
