i've posted up the how-to i cooked up on changing the graphics in our ipod hacks sections, but now with the latest version of ipodwizard you can also change all the text (also called strings). for example, in the picture above the legal section was changed. click the read link to see a good step-by-step on this.
change the text on your ipod

(Page 1)2. #5 was right. the read link is broken and so far i can't find this anywhere else. i have a 60 gig photo and i've changed the pictures, but i still can't figure out how to change the text on the menus.

10. i don't know, i think it is still pretty cool, and relevant. i mean, from a consumer standpoint, i just got my ipod, and i am lovin these little hacks. currently there are only a few un altered graphics on my ipod and i have imported a new font. it may be 'novel' but that’s the point, out of every one who has them, very few know how to do this (although it may seem like every one and there mother does this to you because you frequent these sites allow, in fact hardly any one knows this). it is a form of security and personality for my ipod, i love it. as for the comment of " how about a week that doesn't involve apple products? " i would say hooray for apple. microsoft is a horrible company and i am proud that apple is getting alot of recognition, as well as firefox and forms of linux. i own a pc, sure, but i in now way support microsoft, and i mean that in every sense of the word 'support.' but don't get me wrong, if microsoft actually came out with a genuinely 'good' product, i would hope to see it on here just as often, and i would be proud then too. oh, and btw, don't f*cking say crap online sh*tbag, there could be g*d d*mn children reading this! lol

12. I gotta say...I did this a long ass time ago on my original iPod. Actually, a little more than 2 years ago. Legal screen hack: http://www.spymac.com/upload/gallery/f_0/user_8650/upload_7160.jpg Menu hack: http://www.spymac.com/upload/gallery/f_0/user_8650/upload_7303.jpg
13. The novelty of this wore off pretty quickly, just like with the icons. Oh well, good stuff though.
