iPod touch users who have jailbroken their devices have access to the Cydia market of apps, which contains a number of different customizations. One such customization is the ability to have a transparent iOS application dock. This means that the dock at the bottom of the iPod touch's screen will be transparent as opposed to its solid silver color, a feature not accessible to iPod touch's that are not jailbroken.
Instructions

1. Tap the "Cydia" icon on your jailbroken iPod touch to open the Cydia application.
2. Open the "search" tab, type "Winterboard," and then tap "Go."
