This mod is available via the PwnCenter Source. Here are the instructions:

  1. SSH into your iPhone or iPod Touch
  2. Locate the main directory.
  3. Locate the 3.0 folder.
  4. Open the folders (root/3.0/Library/Themes/Icons) until you see the three icon files; iPod, Phone and Text.
  5. Copy the 3 icon files to your computer. You can do so by just dragging them onto your computer.
  6. SSH into the root/Library/Themes folder on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
  7. In the root/Library/Themes folder, create a new folder titled 3.0 (or whatever you want to title it).
  8. Create a folder inside the 3.0 folder titled Icons (make sure you have a capital I).
  9. Drag the 3 icon files from your computer into the Icons folder you created on your iPhone or iPod Touch.
  10. Go into WinterBoard and select the 3.0 theme.

It’s not copy-paste, but hey, makes your icons prettier.
