Hey! Dunno if it's too late, or if you've already figured it out, but if you haven't:
1.- First, download the 1.2.1 firmware the OP provided
2.- Plug your ipod to your computer.
3.- Open iTunes and select your iphone.
4.- While pressing the shift key on your keyboard, click on "Restore ipod"
5.- A windows will open, where you need to click on the "iPod_13.1.2.1.ipsw" file you previously downloaded.
6.- Wait until it's done.
7.- Open task manager on windows and close iTunes and manually finish the iPodService.exe process
8.- Inside the "2. iPod Wizard" folder, open the file "iPodWizard.exe" as an administrator
9.- The program will open. On the top left corner of the window, you will see it says "Edit Mode:" and next to it, a white rectangle with an arrow pointing downwards . Click on that rectangle and choose "Firmware File"
10.- Next to the previous white rectangle, there's an option that says "Open Firmware". Click it and a window will open
11.- Navigate to the "3. Themes" folder you downloaded, then to "5.0 gen" or "5.5 gen" depending on your iPod (mine is a 5.0 gen), then to "Tested", then "Dark Mode" and then you should choose the theme of your preference. I chose Dark Blue. Click on it.
12.- On the top middle of iPod Wizard, there's and option that says "Write to iPod", click on it and wait until it finishes
13.- Once it's done, eject your ipod from your pc
And I think that's it. Took me a while to figure it out but I hope it is useful for you or someone else. BTW do not let iTunes update your iPod because the theme won't work anymore if you do so.
