(MoC) Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 The moment all us graphical junkies have all been waiting for has arrived! These tools decrypt the images in the SArtFile.bin file letting you edit them. There is also a tool to repack these. (Note: I did not create these utilities and am not taking any credit for them) Thanks to asap18/longhorn49 for this wonderful program Tools (Download at end of post): artDecoder.jar ===> Decodes the bin file artEncoder.jar ===> Encodes the bin file Instructions: 1. Navigate to /System/Library/PublicFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Resources 2. Backup the SArtFile.bin file and copy one to the artTools folder 3. Open a Terminal session and "cd" to the directory of the jar files and the SArtFile.bin you recently copied over there. 4. Type the code below java-jar artDecoder.jar SArtFile.bin artfiles/ 5. If all goes well you should see a directory called artfiles in the artTools directory. There are the images you can edit to your heart's content. 6. Once editing is done open up another Terminal session and "cd" back to that directory. 7. Type the code below java -jar artfiles/ SArtFile.bin SArtFile.new.bin 8. A file named SArtNew.bin should have been created. The file size should be around 1.5-2.5 MB. If not, then you did something incorrectly. 9. Done, you may replace the files, logout and then in and test your skin! artTools.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPirate Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 java -jar artEncoder.jar artfiles/ SArtFile.bin SArtFile.new.bin Is the line I find I need to use to compile, and /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Resources is the folder I have to go to (about to try, wish me luck :-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iPirate Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Now all we need is an actual app and not a command-line-tool and there'll be a load of grinning terminal-unfriendly modders out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbatron Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Ok so I am really trying to learn this but how do I edit the .png files after accessing the directory? can I just use photoshop? or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhyguy Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 yeah, photoshop is fine after you find good images, its rreally easy the first post has a typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThizzleDipp Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 ok what do i do once i get the artfiles directory open. I followed all the way to step 5 so now comes editing the images. But what do i do with them? Do i open any of the images into photoshop and then edit it and re-save it again? Or do i move the file somewhere else? Or am i missing something completely? Because i'm trying to make the toolbar pure white with pink lettering and a pink apple. This is where i am so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make it red Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ok...so I'm totally new to editing it for myself...I get everything but what do you mean by "cd" the directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldy11 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Ok...so I'm totally new to editing it for myself...I get everything but what do you mean by "cd" the directory? "cd" is the command to change the working directory at the Unix command line. eg. to change to your Desktop you would type this in Terminal.app: cd ~/Desktop (that's a tilde, btw, not a hyphen) and press <return>. afterward, if you typed: pwd and hit <return> you would get the following output: Users/YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE/Desktop which tells you your working directory (pwd=print working directory) this might help for navigating the command line: http://www.ss64.com/osx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make it red Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 ...ok I'm confused...I managed to open it and edit the pictures i wanted to. Now I want to re-encode it right? So lets assume the file artTools is on my desktop, what do I need to do in terminal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
