How does cydia themes work

Tap the "Confirm" button on the next page, followed by the "Respring" button after installation has completed. The iPad restarts, allowing Winterboard to run. Once Winterboard has been installed, you can customize your iPad's appearance.

Launch Cydia again and tap the "Themes" button. Tap the "iPad" button to display a list of all iPad-specific themes. Scroll through the list of themes and tap an entry to open its full listing page.

Tap the "Screenshots" and "More Info" buttons to see how the theme will work to customize your iPad when activated. Some themes are free, while others require a payment. Choose a theme you want to download and tap its entry in the "Themes" list to open its full listing page.

Tap the "Install" button, followed by the "Confirm" button. The theme is downloaded into the Winterboard app. Launch Winterboard from the iPad's home screen and tap the "Select Themes" button. The main cydia start page entails tons of subsections for you to explore. Most of theme are promotional and contain featured tweaks and themes recommended by the Cydia staff.

These sections work as category filters and can be browsed individually. This can help beginners by making the overall list less overwhelming and allowing one to concentrate on, say, themes and basic tweaks only.

Well, this is pretty easy. When making a purchase, you will be asked to sign in either through Facebook or your Google account. Once you get the theme from Cydia, all you need to do is apply it from within SnowBoard. SnowBoard a successor to older theming engines that supported older versions of iOS. WinterBoard was originally the theming engine used for implementing the best jailbreak themes on initial versions of iOS and jailbreaks, back when the concept of Jailbreaking itself was new.

Once added, search for SnowBoard in Cydia through the search tab and install it just like you would any other tweak. And enabling it via SnowBoard is even easier. From snowy white icons to minimalistic home screens, these iOS themes offer everything you need to renovate your iPhone. More or less, the best iOS 14 themes mentioned below hold the potential to change your perception towards the lack of customizability in iOS.

Desa is a theme inspired by the iMac G4. Icons in the pack have a translucent background just like the G4 and are also shaped similarly. Individually, though, the resemblance is similar.

Likewise, the Maps icon shows the location blip as the app icon. There has been much debate on whether the iPad is a computer. But you can still make it feel like a computer. Mohave is an icon pack that makes your iPad icons look like those on macOS Mojave. Viola is like just other best iOS themes. If you are caught up with the not-so-recent happenings in the realm of Apple, you might understand why you should definitely install this theme.

The icons on macOS Big Sur now look more like the icons on iOS 14 hinting that there is little demarcation left between the two operating systems.

Apple has made the icons on Big Sur look more poppy and skeuomorphic. Particularly, there is a shade beneath the glyph of almost every app icon setting it apart from the background and giving the icon more or less a 3-dimensional look.

Now, you can get those icons on your iPhone too. You just need to get your hands on the Big Sur theme. It keeps the glyphs within the icons intact and simply applies a dark background to them. This dark mode implementation may help save some battery on your iPhone.

The only thing that lacks in this theme, however, is the functionality to automatically turn the icons dark when native Dark Mode is turned on. NookPhone is a three-in-one package. By cute, I mean there are tiny bugs and animals within some icons. Nevertheless, I also feel the icons should have been a little less bland and a splash more colorful.

I can work with these. However, ensure that you have other tweaks to support this theme. Echo has icons with slight gradients. The only problem with Echo is that notification badges look dislocated. It could be because of incorrect resizing of icons by the author. It only completely re-imagines a few icons but adds a faded shade to the rest.

Even though a faded look is not what you might want to go for theoretically; this theme nails it. You will want it. But it sure is the cutest theme you could slap on your iPhone. Pretty much every icon is redesigned. The elements in the icons are accurately placed in the middle to leave some white space all around.

It is a rule of thumb in design that you should leave more white space and not fill up everything with content. This theme, thankfully, elevates the effect of that rule. In this list of the best jailbreak themes, Lotus is one of the most culminating. Well, why not? It has a mesmerizing set of gradient-filled icons. An added layer of depth makes things more intriguing. Not to mention the uniqueness of the way its icons are designed. Having this theme active on your iPhone frames an extra level of charisma that truly is eye-catching.

I hate to say this but Oyster has some of the cutest looking icons of all the best iOS themes available. The colors on the icons are splendidly faded which accord an eye-soothing getup when looked upon the screen from a distance.
