Macristocracy is now up and running at 110%. The login issue has been fixed and you should have no problem posting as well.

However, we are recommending that everyone please clear their M* cookies to be sure that they have no further problems. To do so, please read the solution below.

The Solution:
In order to clear your M* cookies please follow these steps:

(Safari Users)
1. Open Safari Preferences
2. Security Tab
3. Show Cookies Button
4. Search "Macristocracy"
5. REMOVE ALL
6. Restart Safari

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

The Reason:
Yesterday, Macristocracy was moved to the root of our domain. We have been ready for a while to make this happen but we weren't quite prepared. We found out through this experience that a lot of images within our forum have absolute links which are handled by our MYSQL database. This caused a huge problem with the forum and is something that we must work out before we can move M* to the root directory.

The Issue:
When we changed the domain url to root, our cookies got scrambled. This is what caused the issues with the login system and with users who were currently logged in not being able to post.

Our sincere apologies,

The M* Staff
P.S. This was mostly Michael Schultz's fault! Go yell at him! But be nice, he fixed it too.

No "bumping" — i.e. no one-word responses to threads such as "FIRST!" or "pluswan!" Poor conversational skill such as this will result in poster being reprimanded. If a thread has been idle for two months or greater, whisper the thread's author; do not bump the thread.

Be mature. We realize that many of our members may not be adults, but all are expected to act like one. Be respectful and you will receive respect. Be disrespectful and you will receive the business end of the banstick. Posts without proper capitalization and intentionally poor grammar will result in the poster being reprimanded.

Do not post something that is not relative to the context of the thread. If you are found guilty (by a moderator, not a jury of your peers ) you will be destroyed in a way that an administrator or staff member deems fit.

Do not "flame". If you post in a manner that intentionally irritates and nags other members, you will be destroyed in a way that an Administrator or Moderator deems fit.

This is an English speaking forum. If you are unable to speak english, use a translator. This is not discriminatory, this is because English is the most common language among site visitors.

Do not post requests in a thread. (The exemptions being threads labeled as request threads.) Posting requests in a thread (specifically iPhone theme threads) only clutters the thread and causes distraction from the work displayed. Most themes provide templates, if you have requests, we greatly encourage you to take a shot at designing the icons yourself. However, spend a good deal of time to produce quality work. There is a level of skill among Macristocracy artists, and you should aim for their calibre, understanding that you may not be a full-time designer, the community is dedicated to providing quality feedback to improve your skills.

The Release sections of this site are only posted in by members with the status "Resident Artist". Otherwise, if your thread is deemed a quality release, a moderator will move your thread into the proper Release section. If you have ignored comments and help criticism, your thread will not be moved. That said, you do not have necessarily follow said criticism, but do not ignore it or pass it off as ignorant drivel that is below your level of artistry.

DO NOT TRADE INVITES.

If you are inactive, you will be removed/banned. We do this to ensure no "lurking leakers" as well as to encourage community interaction.

Macristocracy reserves the right to change, edit, delete, ban, or remove any post or member for any reason.

Thanks to Klein Maetschke, Rickie Sherman and the lovely Liz Lettieri for testing it for me :)

Is anyone else having this issue? Anything I can do to fix it? If I re-spring they go away but I'm sick of re-springing 5x a day.

So here's round3. A few months in the making, this theme has all of the default icons and some springboard elements, as well as a template.

Guide to the template:
If you are making a glyph icon, it is recommended that you use the basic template. This template is one of the groups on template.psd, and has a few main colours pre-loaded. For more complicated icons, as they require clipping masks, I recommend you use the advanced template, which has all the layers labeled and a vector mask that allows you to change hue/saturation/brightness. If you have multiple psd files of custom icons you want to convert to pngs for iPhone use, drag them all in to the PSD to PNG droplet and it will convert them for you.

As always, if you are releasing a mod of the theme, please ask permission first.

I decided to modify what I could for Chrome. The code didn't let me gradient the glyphs or change the button backgrounds. So this is all I could do. Also modded the icon to show slightly more OS X like colors.

A few days ago I saw a cool concept sketch by Jonatan Castro for a replacement Spotify icon, and instantly thought it'd make a great actual icon! Since the sketch was created a while ago, I wanted to step in and take his concept to creation. I decided to use Jonas Rask's beautiful globe as a base, and set out to create a faithful recreation of the original sketch. I think it came out pretty nice! Obviously this can be used for more than Spotify, so have fun with it and enjoy.

I am using Winterboard, and am on 4.01. Does anyone have any ideas, or this issue?

Anyway! Here you go! (click to download)

(also, could a mod please move this to releases? This isn't a critique piece, I just don't have the artist status, so I couldn't post it there myself)

(Could a mod please move this to releases?)

I typed a source incorrectly in Cydia about a week ago, just after jailbreaking my iPhone 4. Now every time I open it or it reloads data, after refreshing sources, I get an error popup. I'm sure most of you have seen it. It reads "Error refreshing data: GPG Error" and then goes on to list the source I typed incorrectly.

Just wondering how I can fix this. I'm sure there's a file to edit I can obtain by SSHing. If anyone could help me out it'd be appreciated. Thanks.

Here's the result:

I think it's easy to see that I was inspired by Robbie Pearce's Gimme theme, which was my favorite SBSettings theme so far.
Got his permission.
But when I asked him, he told me he is also already porting Gimme for iPhone 4.
So, this theme was kinda waste of time. ;)

Only the shown toggles are included so far, but there's a template for the toggles and I think I will provide some more the next days.

Caroline is a default lockscreen recreated more to my taste, preempting whatever atrocities may befall the iPhone OS in the future. It features a fitted slider, just like Nobelis. For some reason, I've developed a late affinity for David Lanham's wallpapers, and it hasn't struck me to use them until now. I like the dog one quite a bit.

Eh, this started out as a way to quell some insomnia and anxiety, but I see that some people may want this. It's a public release as well, so enjoy!

If a mod would do so kindly, could they please move this thread to the releases? Thanks.

I've never really liked homescreen wallpaper. I could never decide what to use and if I had one, it was usually just a slight black-gray gradient, or something like the one from Louie Mantia's Hydrogen.

So, I disabled Homescreen Wallpaper on my iPhone 4 and made a dock like the one from the old iPod touch on 1.x. I like how it looks (and I know at least one other person does too).

Anyway, if you want to do the same, take your copy of N90AP.plist from System/Library/CoreServices/SpringBoard.app and add
<key>homescreen-wallpaper</key> <false/>

or just download mine. Also, here's the dock I made. It's SBDockBG@2x.png in the same location.

Here's a preview:

So, hit me with your lists.

(I'd prefer if everyone was proper with listing apps and linking to iTunes or the developer site... or both.)

Made a few walls. Had a few ladies ask me for some girly walls, so here they are along with some more masculine walls. This was made to not have the bottom row of icons on your pages. I hope you enjoy!

Can this be moved to releases mods?
