Whether it's requests, contributions or bugs, thanks to everyone who helps make Glasklart the best, most complete theme on the internet.
- Submitting an Icon Request
- Contributing an Icon
- Submit a Bug
- or our favorite option... submit a pull request!
Before all icon requests, do the following:
Search to see if the icon has already been created.
- Press 't' right now to open Github's file finder. Type in the name of an app to see if it exists
- Search the project's issue tracker
If the icon exists:
- Is it not working? Maybe it's a bug! Create an issue something like issue #3
If the icon does not exist:
- Create a new icon request issue. Only 1 icon request per issue. Issues with multiple icon requests will be closed.
While we've tried to make this as simple a process as possible, tracking down all the information needed for an icon request is not for the faint of heart. Please read everything below before continuing.
If your request does not meet our requirements, it will be closed.
If the icon has not already been requested, enter an issue title with only the name of the application such as:
Find My Friends
Do not enter anything like the following
Requesting Find Friends!!!!1!!
ZOMG I would <3 you forEVAH if you did this one! :)
I can't Find My Friends! Can you help!?!?!?
URGENT!! YOU MUST DO THIS FOR ME OR I'LL DIE OF DYSENTERY!
How do I find the exact name of my application?
There are a few specific pieces of information we'll need in order for the icon request to be valid.
If you do not provide the exact information described here, in the exact format described here your request will be rejected.
This is important because if we need to go back and run an automated script to parse all of the issues and put them into a database, we need them to be consistently formatted. Thank you for your cooperation.
Name
eg: RunKeeper - GPS Running, Walking, Cycling and more! (This is the exact name that should be displayed in the issue's title. how do I find this?)Bundle ID
eg: RunKeeperPro (how do I find this?)iTunes ID
eg: 300235330 (how do I find this?)PNG Icon Names
eg: Icon.png | Icon@2x.png | Icon-72.png | Icon-Small.png | Icon-Small@2x.png (how do I find this?)Artwork
(how do I find this?)
Do you work better when you can see the end product before you get the explanation of how to do it? Here's an example of a well done request.
In order to find all of the metadata we need, the easiest way is to download AppInfo from Cydia.
Open it and choose the app you're requesting an icon for. Example:
Here is the list of information we need and the corresponding place on the screen to find it:
- Name:
- In AppInfo it is also called Name
- Bundle ID:
- In AppInfo it is simply Id
- iTunes ID:
-
In AppInfo it is Item ID
If you are requesting a Cydia app, you do not have to supply an iTunes ID. What do I do if it's not a Cydia app, but is still blank? - PNG Icon Name:
-
In AppInfo it is IconFiles
Copy the entire item even if it describes multiple icon names
What do I do if it says 'Unknown'?
We require source artwork that is at least a 512px by 512px. This. Is. Required. for your icon to be fulfilled.
The best way is to do a Google Image Search like so:
RunKeeper App Icon
That will usually result in a good set of results. In the case that your image is not large enough, remember that you can click on an image and select "More Sizes". Sometimes this will give you access to bigger images.
Attaching graphics to your request is easy. All you have to do is click on it and drag it to the tab where you've started your issue. If you drop it on top, it will automatically be uploaded and attached.
Alternatively, you can save the icon to your hard drive, then click the 'choose an image' link in the area below your request to select it. It will upload it and include it in your issue.
Note: We no longer accept images attached via Dropbox, Photobucket, Imgr, CloudApp, etc.
If AppInfo tells you that IconFiles is 'Unknown', scroll down to the bottom of that screen and tap 'Open in iFile'.
Once iFile opens, there should be a folder with the name of your app (in the
above example it would be RunKeeper.app
). You'll want to tap on that folder.
In the folder that opens, you'll see a long list of files. You're looking for
one called Info.plist
. Tap on that.
iFile will ask you what you want to open the file with. Choose 'Property List Viewer'.
When Property List Viewer opens, scroll down until you find an entry called
CFBundleIconFile
. The value on the righthand side is what you will enter for
the PNG Icon Name
when creating your icon request.
The only reason we've found for a iTunes ID to be blank is if you've pirated the app. We don't condone piracy, but occasionally an app must be installed outside of the App Store ecosystem. For example, if it was pulled from the store, or the newest version has a bug that makes it unusable.
In those cases, to find the iTunes ID you'll want to:
- Open the iTunes Store
- Navigate to the app you're wanting to make a request for
- Right click on the name of the app
- Choose "Copy Link"
- Paste the link somewhere and look at it
The link will look something like this:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/runkeeper-gps-track-running/id300235330?mt=8
The iTunes ID is everything after the 'id' and before the '?'. In this case:
300235330
To view an example icon request with all the necessary information, view issue #917.
If the icon has already been created, but information about it has changed (potentially causing it not be themeing properly), enter an issue title just as you would when creating an icon request:
Runkeeper
You will need to provide basic icon information such as the Bundle ID
,
iTunes ID
and PNG Icon Name
(see New Icon Request).
To view an example renaming request with all the necessary information, view issue #1.
Glasklart is a community effort, we can only continue being this successful with your help!
Whether you are responding to an icon request made by someone else or submitting, one for yourself, icon fulfillments require two pieces of information:
- The icon itself which follows our guidelines that is attached to the request
- A preview of the icon
Only one icon should be attached per issue thread This helps us keep things nice and organized. If you submit more than one per thread, we'll still accept them, but please don't. We're trying to keep things efficient now as well as in the future.
In order to create a Glasklart icon you will need Photoshop as well as the template here.
Follow this guide to get you started down the road to creating your very first Glasklart icon.
Attach the icon to the issue by dragging and dropping the icon file directly into the issue.
Alternatively you can click the 'choose an image' link and select it from your hard drive.
Look at the comment on this issue for a proper example of a well done icon fulfillment.
In order for the team to determine if your icon is up to snuff, we need to see it as it would be if it was being used in the Glasklart theme.
After attaching your contribution in the step above, you will see a URL that looks similar to:
https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/2156037/164687/960c3096-78d5-11e2-9c05-8ed4c5c4dbbf.png
In order to create a preview for that file, you'll need to add the following line to your comment:
![](http://preview.dreamnet.at/?image=https://f.cloud.github.com/assets/2156037/164687/960c3096-78d5-11e2-9c05-8ed4c5c4dbbf.png)
Notice the first part will not change for any preview you create:
![](http://preview.dreamnet.at/?image=
The part after the equal sign is the URL that was created when you attached your contribution.
If you do it correctly you will see something like this:
If you are submitting an icon without a prior request, you should go up to the section on Icon Requests and follow all of those steps.
Then go to the section on Icon Contributions and follow all of those steps.
Please, please, read the README included with the template for information on how to set up your device for theming and how to use Bundles.

Sometimes app makers change the icon names that they use and doing so breaks Glasklart. Sometimes Apple changes the names of images they use within iOS and doing so breaks Glasklart. If you find a problem like this or anything else, please file a bug. It's really easy! Just create something similar to this.
And thanks again for keeping Glasklart bug-free!
