The iTouch is the same as the iPhone sans phone, 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 need. However , it is really easy to make your own customized icons if you know a little bit of Photoshop. The fundamentals Create a new document in Photoshop that is sixty pixels by sixty pixels with a clear 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 certain and save 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 full 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 can 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're counting 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 complex image or simple text to get this across. Make your symbol design which could 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 targeted and should have anywhere from 5- to ten pixel padding on all sides. Match as close as you can most themes which are typically all focused. 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 will not do compression which is not needed except for web images. Reserve it 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 device . ![]()
