Tweetbot Theme

(See attachment)
This is a mockup for a theme i started for the iphone twitter client, Tweetbot. I started it because alot of people love the app but not the design so much (not me, i do like the original design).

I decided to give it a lighter interface, and a few more splashes of colour. Each of the tab glyphs across the bottom has a different colour when selected. All matte, soft tones that are easy on the eye.
Also as you can see i replaced the lights from under the tab bar that let you know of new tweets for that section with some nice little ribbons.

I actually got everything you see on the attached mockup working as intended when on the device. But, i had to stop making this theme anyway as i bumped into an issue theming the tab bar (which i overcome) but it was then different parts of the app that i could not find ways around.
The reason for this is because winterboard relies on images to replace in order to work but the ta bar and a few other bars in the app are made with something like css i presume and so have no image file to replace.

So unfortunately this is where i stop. The only way to be able to /fully/ theme this app is to get a mobile substrate tweak that insert's actual png files to be replaced with winterboard where needed. (if anybody wants to sort this out with me so we can open the gates for themes on this app, let me know)
