iPod Touch / iPhone - Free Customize Toolkit
If you want to personalize your iPod Touch
(or iPhone) further there is a Toolkit called appropriately "Customize version 1.20" which is free. It allows you to many different tweaks such as:
- Toggle hiding applications.
- Ability to choose number of icons on the dock.
- Preset capabilities, which allow quick reordering
- Change icon images and backgrounds
- and much more

You can download the Customize Package here.
Download new system sounds for your iPod Touch (or iPhone) from here.
For custom images for your iPod Touch (or iPhone) from here.
Now that you have the tools, dont forget to protect the exterior from scratches. I bought a thin film that goes on my iPod like an invisible skin, you dont even notice it, and it keeps your brand new iPod looking shinny and new against unnecessary scratches and dents. Dont wait until its late. Its cheap to buy and you'll thank me for it later.

Last thing I wanted to mention, if you want to create your own icons and images for your ipod, make sure that they are in the following image format, filename and size.
Dock Background Images
Width: 320px Height: 91px
Carrier Images
Width: Variable as needed Height: 20px
Notes: Save the image that will look good on a black background as mycarrier.png, and the one that looks good on white background as mycarrier-1.png. Use arial font for this graphic.
WiFi Images
Width: 20px Height: 20px
Notes: The WiFi image set consists of 8 images as follows:
| Your File Name | Description | Intended Background Color |
| yourfile.png | No Signal | White |
| yourfile-1.png | one "bar" | White |
| yourfile-2.png | two "bars" | White |
| yourfile-3.png | full "bars" | White |

Bar Dialer Image
See This Tutorial for information on how to create a custom keypad dialer.
Battery Images
Width: 264px Height: 129px
Notes: The battery image set consists of 17 images, named yourname.png, yourname-1.png, ..., yourname-16.png. Because I think it would look better (you'll see) yourname.png is actually the 17th image, and all the other numbers correspond.
Sound Images
Width: 87px Height: 88px
Chat Balloons
Width: 43px Height: 32px
Slider Images
Width: 70px Height: 47px
