A WoW iPhone theme

It's been a good few weeks since we've had an iPhone-related post here at the Insider, so it's probably time for another one. While this may not be any form of playing WoW on the iPhone, it's definitely pretty cool: this is a WoW theme that can be applied to the iPhone, changing all its menu icons and background image. And in my opinion, it's pretty sweet. If I had an iPhone I'd definitely take this for a spin.This is the work of Dimos (Darkspear-H), and if you want to Blizz up your own phone, the files to do so are at ModMyiPhone.com. I particularly enjoy the Phone icon being a hearthstone. A common conception on RP servers is that the hearthstone is what enables us to communicate in chat channels, serving as some sort of radio-like device. I don't know if this is what Dimos was going for, but it pleases me either way. The Safari icon is also an uncanny match -- does anyone know what that icon is used for in-game?

I would like to see one of these for the pocket pc. That would be pretty cool.

My friend Dyson (Darkspear-H) helped me pick out the icons, he found a really handy page on wowwiki that has all the icons listed:

Hope you enjoy the phone theme, I had fun making it. I still want to make a skin for the dialpad but I ran out of time since I'm going on vacation tomorrow.
I don't know what the icon of Safari is used for, but on the page I linked above it's titled: "Misc_Idol_05"

Any additional instructions you can give to help change the background? I used iFuntastic to change out the icons, but i'm stuck trying to change the demoapp icon to display properly so that i have the mountain background.
Any tips?

Like NerdblurbSteve, I am stuck with the Demo App thingie. Can someone please publish more detailed instructions for the background ?
