I LOVE this theme, just sayin... Had it for 4 days now...

Im going to post up all my "fixes" for this theme right here. because there are some things that i simply dont like....

Resizes the send buttons so that when you get to a second row of text there isn't an unseemly edge in your box, it also replaces the "liquid" photo, for when you have contact pics set up and no picture for a contact. it replaces it with a stock silhouette.

(5 images)

Default contact pic (when there is no contact pic present)
Contact-image@2x.png
save as
save in this location: var/mobile/library/bitethemes/biteliquid

Chat bubbles
SendButton@2x.png
save as
SendButtonGreen@2x.png
save as
SendButtonPressed@2x.png
save as
SendButtonPressedGreen@2x.png
save as

save in this location: var/mobile/library/bitethemes/biteliquid/chatkit

also the winterboard theme is mostly redundant, all you need in the winterboard theme is the "recents-bg@2x.png"

you need to place these files into their appropriate locations, using ifunbox, ssh or ifile.
var/mobile/library/bitethemes/biteliquid/chatkit is the location for the chat bubbles and overwrite the images and youll be good to go

Haha, I would have told you about it, but I knew it would get you thinking about jailbreaking again and thought you might want the break!

Yes, those are my screenshots...did the single shots in PreviewMaker (see ) and then made the side by side comparison in .

The first release was weak because he implemented the "bg" images poorly, but the latest release is ALMOST perfect... He need to resize the drop down text shade to be flush with the popup box... IMHO

**Massie** · 09-03-2012, 03:21 PM

Yep, I held off until v2.0 was released. The first two were really not ready for release in my opinion--they were way too hacky in their method of theming. But now it's quite nice and implemented in the regular, biteSMS-approved way.

I do wish that he used screenshots that showed the app without the additional theming--the biteLiquid theme doesn't come with the keyboard or system themes, only the biteSMS parts, and that has seemed to confuse some people. (I know I do the same thing in my images--but I'm not the developer, either.) But he does at least mention what people will need, so I guess it's not so bad.

All in all, I think this is the nicest bite theme out there right now.

Been using this theme since release. Awesome.

**3cit** · 09-03-2012, 11:30 PM

wamadden, lets start with the basics... do you have bitesms?
Is it on 6.3?
if yes, then simply open up the bitesms application, go to the setting page, then go to the themes page, the tap the biteLiquid bar, then tap the apply theme.

If you have it installed make sure it's activated in winter board. Also go into bitesms and settings and then themes. Select the theme and select apply. You should be set up now. This will work if you have fully activated bitesms.

**Dysharn** · 09-05-2012, 06:11 PM

Love this

**Dysharn** · 09-05-2012, 06:12 PM

Btw is this theme meant to change the look of your home screen theme

**wamadden4** · 09-05-2012, 08:29 PM

Thanks for the help. I didn't know BiteSMS had a theme option. I had it activated in Winterboard but didn't know about the BiteSMS part of it.

**3cit** · 09-06-2012, 01:33 AM

You don't need to activate it in winterboard anymore since he has it working completely within bites own "sandbox", but it probably doesn't hurt to have it enabled in winterboard too... And
No, it's just a bite theme and a qr/qc theme

**3cit** · 09-06-2012, 01:34 PM

Hey I just downloaded you, and this is crazy, but heres another "bug", so fix it maybe??

So when typing a message, if you go to a "second line" the box is not flush with the "send" button... Call me picky, but I don't think it should be this way...
I'm gonna fix it, because to me that's easier than emailing the developer

Can you show me an example of what you mean?

This was made skinnier due to the fact that the message bubbles were too far away from the border to sit flush like it does inside the messaging app. It would bother me if the flat edge was floating within the drop down, but would bother me more if they were different from the bubbles inside the app. So to me this was the only option for my personal taste. I don't think it was all that bad. I kind of like the different feel it has.

Plus i just love the edgeless bubbles. Looks so clean to me. (:

Thanks for the kind words guys.
