<p>iElegance  is my favorite iPhone theme, it already includes icons for many apps, but not for all, and specially not for local ones (like country specific newspaper).<br />
Therefore I have created an Inkscape template to create my owns.<br />
The template can be downloaded from this file: <a href="http://www.mexlinux.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/iElegance-icon-template.svg">iElegance-icon-template.svg</a><br />
And this are the instructions:</p>
<ol>
<li>Access your iPhone via ssh (I&#8217;m assuming you already know how to do that)</li>
<li>Find your desired icon (or get your own image from wherever you want)</li>
<li>If the file is not readable by Inkscape use the icon normalizer as described <a href="http://www.mexlinux.com/how-to-view-png-images-from-iphone/">here</a></li>
<li>Open the template file with Inkscape</li>
<li>Import the icon into Inkscape.</li>
<li>Make a copy of the icon and rotate it 180°</li>
<li>Use the green rectangles to crop the icons by placing the rectangles in top of them, selecting the two desired objects, and then from the menu: Object&gt;Clip&gt;Apply</li>
<li>Give transparency to the reflection one.</li>
<li>Move the new clipped icons to the corresponding places.</li>
<li>Export Bitmap Page Layout and give it the same name than the app has but with the .png extension instead of .app.</li>
<li>Copy the new created icon to the folder /Library/Themes/iElegance.theme/Icons (or PRO.theme if you have the PRO version) inside your iPhone</li>
<li>Respring in order to view the new icons.</li>
</ol>
