Has anyone tried this on OS 3.2.1? I really dont want to install it if it works, it was annoying earlier from a few other apps and had restoring it. I made a thread listing all the working apps. 
Got a tip for us?

iPad CategoriesSB now out for iPad

Everyone, on OS X install "Natatalk" through Cydia on the iPad. This will allow the iPad to show up on your Mac OS X computer if they are both on the same WiFi network. You can then access all the files on the iPad through Finder as your would a hard drive or other device. This allows for easy modification of your iPad.
EDIT: I did follow the instructions per deleting the icons and caches on the iPad, and after reboot some important applications were missing (not just the icons, but the apps themselves). I googled this issue and found a lot of people experienced it after jailbreaking. Any thoughts?

Can someone tell me the obvious, which, well, isn't obvious to me.
Installed Categories, CategoriesSB, and SBSettings. I created a folder, put some apps in it, and can open it fine and see the apps. But how do I close the folder? The only way seems to be either start an app or push the home button.
Running ipad 3.2.1, and installed the 3 apps above 10 mins ago so they're the most recent versions at this time.
Strangely, I can't find any readme/help/website that gives me any info. I'm feeling n00bish....

Sorry, that doesn't quite tell me. Activator activates something. I already have Categories active (I.e. The folder is open). I need to close it and return to where I was.
So for example if I'm at my home screen and open a folder then want to close it and return to my home screen, the only way I can seem to do this is by either opening one of the apps in the folder or pushing the home button, or using a different gesture to trigger an Activator action.
I just want to browse my folders like I would my springboard screens.
If there's a way to configure Activator to do something like 'return to previous screen' or 'close app' or even 'go to next springboard screen' can someone tell me where that is? I don't see it. I can see Activator system functions but none allow me to 'close and return' etc.
Am I interpreting the guy incorrectly? Is it not a natural action to open a folder then close it?

To close a category without launching an app, you need to either press the home button, or press the category again. Since the category can no longer be seen if launched from a home window, you are better off placing the category in the dock.
You can use infinidock to put as many in the dock as you'd like.

Exactly. I placed all my Category icons in the dock. If you push a different category icon while one category is open, the second category folder springs up and replaces the first one. Much quicker than switching betweeen folders in iOS4!
Don't feel bad, it took me awhile to figure some of these apps out, too. CategoriesSB included. I had installed Categories 1st, then bought CategoriesSB a few days later and installed it overtop the 1st one. I could've sworn there was an option in the original Categories that enabled you to swipe up or down to close, that's how I chose to close the folder. But I've since uninstalled both of them, then installed only CategoriesSB and I just looked and can't find that option anywhere.dir said:
However-in Activator I set up a single swipe down from the status bar to simulate a push of the Home button. So that works excellent to close the folders and to close any app instead of clicking the physical button. Try that, it's incredibly handy to be able to close all apps and folders that way.

I know what you are talking about. My plan was to put as much in the dock as possible. I got Infinidock and Shrink. So, now I have 12 icons in my dock...10 of them are folders. This leaves only 4 folders on the main page. I may play wi is some more and get it down to where I have exactly 12 folders (which a good fit at 50% with shrink), stick them all in the dock, and leave a few apps at the top.
Working on the OSX theme, forgot how much fun theming is. Haven't done it since the old 1.1.4 ipod touch days. I've got infinidock 1.3 installed, with "scrolling" and "start at left" enabled. Eight items on the dock. Portrait looks fine, rotate to landscape and everything slides left. I've tried a bunch of different combinations of settings and nothing seems to change. Do the updated versions fix this?
btw, thanks shaotse for sharing your work!

Got them ALL in the dock...
Ok, I did it...and they aren't too small actually.
I have all 14 folders in the dock, shrunk to 35% is perfect. I shortened the name on a few, but I am pretty happy with this layout now. Very pleased.
Here is a link if it doesn't show up...

And I am also pleased to post my first image from the iPad...worked through the hoops to figure out how to get a photo uploaded for, the iPad, etc.
Btw, in case your curious, the picture is actually my own star trails I took last November in Colorado...6x 10 minute exposures stacked.

The only change I did is the status bar image photoshop-ed to accommodate the WIFI & 3G signal bars for iPad 3G

how did fix the status bar? I finally got the finder bar to show up but my carrier and wi-fi/3g signal bars are covering the bar. I removed the carrier name with MAKEITMINE but i still haven't been able to fix the statusbar in photoshop, any help would be great!
thanks so much

So quick question to everyone. If I want to theme my calendar app, is there anything special I need to do in order to keep the number updating on it?
Hey guys. Very very nice work from you all. I really new to the iPad/iPhone theme that's not already ready to go. Lol. Yes a newb. Is there a thread where I could read the instructions on how to actually go about achieving what you guys are doing? Thanks in advance.
Wow shaotse, this theme looks amazing!
Downloaded the zip you uploaded, and am trying to get all of the icons exported ready to change when I get it.
I downloaded Candybar, but am stuck on how to get the icons from here and into Photoshop so I can export them at 80X80.
The closest I got was right clicking the thumbnails in Candybar, and then copying it. I assumed I should do 'Copy icon and mask' but when I do this and paste it into photoshop it is only 32X32.
Sorry if I'm being stupid (probably am) but can someone give me some pointers? Or is there an easier way to extract the icons from the iContainer so that they are ready to SSH into the iPad
