The iTouch is the same as the iPhone sans telephone, and it works just like it apart from the telephone 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 customized icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop. The fundamentals 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're 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 will outline the theme and it'll stay uniform. Be sure and put it aside. 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 sure that the entire 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 typically have a sophisticated background. Just consider it as if you are making desktop wallpaper and you will still get good results. Make sure that your text on top has good contrast to your background, so you may need to darken or lighten your background dependent on what you plan on putting on top of it. You can now outline what the icon is being used for. That is, what is it - a browser icon, picture spectator, game app. You can use a complicated image or straightforward text to get this across. Make your symbol design which can be a cutout of a photograph or graphic, a mono- or bi-color design - anything you can think about will work. Your symbol should be focused 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 targeted. Make A Template Of Your First Icon When you save the icon files, you are going to need to reserve it as a PNG file. Use the File >> Save As dialog as it won' do compression which is not needed apart from web images. Put it aside as a PSD or Photoshop file which should 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 machine. ![]()
