First, yes, accept the "make my life easier" thing... Cydia backs up your SHSH blobs which you might just need with future jaibreaks if you have to downgrade your software.

Then, it all depends... There are a couple of cool Cydia apps like Winterboard, Cycorder, Backgrounder, Netatalk, iFile etc which you might want to have a look at.

If you are going to be loading cracked apps on your phone you'll need to install AppSync and Installous... To do that you'll need to click on the "Manage" tab in Cydia, then click on "Sources"... Click "Edit" and add the URL http://cydia.hackulo.us
When the source is installed search for AppSync and Installous and install them.

AppSync allows you to install cracked apps on your phone while Installous is kinda like the iTunes store for those apps.

thanks bud

rather add.. http://boerse-repo.net as a repo to cydia.

it has cracked copies for most of the apps in cydia. then search for elite pro hd and choose the one that comes from the boerse repo.. voila all sorted

And Openssh on your iphone and winSCP on your desktop? SSH in and copy the elite pro theme folder into the themes directory... Not sure exactly where it is, root, var, stash, themes or something to that effect..

The easiest way to add themes to your device would be via Cydia then.

Actually surprisingly easy. Their tuts all over the show. Openssh installed on the iPhone and winSCP installed on the desktop, connect the device and the to desktop via your wireless network (if you using one).

Put them in a directory that's visible to the App - the actual app's directory. However that filesystem is a maze of note!
