Above you see i have the Vista Maximus Perfection theme installed.

Now in WinSCP browse to /private/var/stash/Themes.JupLrs. Look for the Theme you have installed. Mine is Vista Maximus Perfection

Go into the icon folder. Do a search on google for iphone themes, here is a few i found and used.
http://www.iphonethemes.info/index.php
http://www.iskysoft.com/article/free-iphone-theme.html
http://www.ipod-touch-themes.de/
Download the theme and extract the icon folder, from here its simple. Just drag the files from the icon folder, into your iphone /private/var/stash/Themes.JupLrs/Vista Maximus Perfection.theme/Icons folder. If you have a web page saved on you iphone, and you want to change the icon. All you have to do is rename the icon with the exact name of the icon on the iphone. It has to be exact, the spaces, capital letters everything has to be identical.

After replacing the icons, go back into winderboard and uncheck and check the theme you have selected. This will reload the theme and your new icons will be visable.
