As most people know, iOS 7 and higher have a new "live" clock icon. As a result, this icon must be themed with a different approach than other icons are normally themed.

Example

An (ugly) example theme is available. Just look for "Custom Clock Example" on https://coolstar.org/publicrepo

Documentation

Non-Live Mode

Non-Live mode is when the clock icon is inside a folder, in Spotlight, Siri, Anemone's preview, etc. This non-live mode may be themed by using the Bundles/ method on the icon itself or with IconBundles.

Background (Live Mode)

The clock icon background may be themed either with Anemone's car support.

Clock Hands & Dots (Live Mode)

Anemone supports theming the clock hands. As the clock hands images are resized by iOS to fit the original hand size, if you wish to reduce the hand size, we suggest keeping the original PNG the same size and using transparency around your smaller hand.

Second Hand

The second hand is loaded from "ClockIconSecondHand.png" in SpringBoard's bundle.

Minute Hand

The minute hand is loaded from "ClockIconMinuteHand.png" in SpringBoard's bundle.

Hour Hand

The hour hand is loaded from "ClockIconHourHand.png" in SpringBoard's bundle.

Red Dot

The red dot (the smaller one in the center) is loaded from "ClockIconRedDot.png" in SpringBoard's bundle.

Black Dot

The black dot (the larger one in the center) is loaded from "ClockIconBlackDot.png" in SpringBoard's bundle.
