Like everything Apple, the iPod Touch’s design is a study in simplistic beauty.
However, as with most things tech, there are those that just can’t help but tinker, which is why one crafty designer named 6mik has created a theme for jailbroken iPod Touches called Whitoken that gives a whole new look and feel to the default interface.

(If you’re wondering, I used this GarageBand Hack to make the ringtone.)
If you’d like to share in my inspiration, just download the ringtone HERE and add it to your phone through iTunes. From there, it should automatically show up as an available alarm sound.
