The iTouch is rather like the iPhone sans phone, and it works just like it except for the phonephone portion.When it comes to icons, the iPhone is the best, and the default application icons might be all that you would like. However , it is very easy to make your own customised icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop. The basics Make a new document in Photoshop that is 60 pixels by sixty pixels with a transparent background. Then make a new layer and Select All. You are going to require to make the edges of your iPhone icon rounded so Select Smooth and make it at 5 pixels. Take the graphic and wallpaper the icon which is the back part of the icon. This could outline the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be certain and reserve it. Ensure that your layer is selected by Ctrl+Click on the layer preview thumbnail on the layers palette. Make the background of your icon. Be certain the whole area is selected. Make a three-color gradient for best effect with the lighter side on one. Make it a Linear gradient because if you look at iPhone icons, they usually have a delicate background. Just consider it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you'll still get wonderful results. Make sure that your text on top has good contrast to your background, so you could need to darken or lighten your background depending on what you plan on putting on top of it. You can now define what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - an internet browser icon, picture viewer, game app. You may use a complicated image or simple text to get this across. Make your symbol design which can be a cutout of a photo or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think of will work. Your symbol should be centered and should have anywhere from 5- to 10 pixel padding on all sides. Match as close as you can most themes which are sometimes all focused. Make A Template Of Your First Icon When you save the icon files, you are going to need to save it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog because it won' do compression which is not required except for web images. Save it as a PSD or Photoshop file which may be your template for making future icons. You can now upload the PNG file to your iPhone/iTouch and have your first unique icon for your gadget. ![]()
