Please note that there are no universal themes in Winterboard, and tablet versions must be downloaded/purchased separately, if, of course, they are available. Introduction's over, let's go!

I liked the topic because of its parody of good old skeuomorphism. Look at the elaboration of the icons, this fake volume, the shadows. With their entire appearance, they remind you of the times of iOS 6 and return you to reality, as soon as you turn to some application or the same settings window. Those who miss textures and realistic design are definitely recommended to download.

Enlightened iOS 8

Remember the Photoshop apps or tools that remove the background in one fell swoop? One gets the feeling that in the subject Enlightened iOS 8 They did a great job.

It looks, I must say, stylish and with the competent addition of a background it makes iOS completely different from itself.

Price - free.

Ace N iOS 8

Fallen leaves? Specific stickers? Tags from clothes or just objects that beg to be hammered to death? You can think whatever you want about Ace N iOS 8, but her individual approach to design cannot be taken away from her.

Aelon iOS 8

The most “low-fat” option from our entire selection.B Aelon iOS 8 The halos of the icons have a barely noticeable opacity, and Aunt Asya took a good look at the images themselves.

Fizz

The recent release of the famous Winterboard tweak with support for 64-bit architecture marked the era of customization of the appearance of iOS 7. A number of popular themes in iOS 6 have not yet been updated, but with full confidence we can say that designers are working day and night on this task. The most enterprising ones have already submitted their themes to Cydia and you can download or buy them right now.

Changing the appearance of iOS has always been an acquired taste. Now that iOS 7 is firmly entrenched in the hearts and minds of users, modified themes from Winterboard will have an even more difficult time. However, the developers do not despair and invite owners of i-gadgets to try out their wonderful creations. Now we will look at the most interesting of them.

Zanilla 2

There is not much to say about this topic, except that it is really very beautiful. All icons standard applications drawn very high quality and fully consistent with the style of the entire theme. There is only one downside to Zanilla 2 - it does not change the icons of downloaded programs. If you are interested in this theme, you will have to install it manually, since it has not yet acquired its own Cydia page. In order to apply this theme, you need to download it from this page and manually place the Zanilla.theme file in the Winterboard/Library/Themes directory using special utility, for example, iFunBox.

Soft Remix for iOS 7

One of the most notable topics on the list. Soft Remix for iOS 7 is a new take on the previously popular Suave HD. The theme makes desktop app icons a little smaller and has rounded edges, and best of all, it supports a variety of downloadable apps. App Store applications. The theme designer, Eduardo Lopez, tried to cover as wide a range of applications and their icons as possible, but unfortunately, he could not handle all applications even in theory. This is where the main disadvantage of the Soft Remix for iOS 7 theme lies. If the application icon is not supported by the theme, then it looks like an eyesore compared to other, smaller and rounded icons. Of course, such applications can be hidden in a folder, but a residue still remains. Let's hope that the topic will develop - you can download it for free in the BigBoss repository.

M'flat

M'flat is a theme that contains many light greens, grays and blues, and its main difference is its focus on landscapes. You can see in the screenshot that the main application icons have been redesigned using amazing photos of the sky, mountains and rivers. Icons third party applications are constantly being added to the topic, so stay tuned for updates official page topics on Reddit (M’flat is also not represented in Cydia). Installing the theme is exactly the same as in the case of Zanilla 2 - move the M’flat iOS 7.theme file to the Winterboard/Library/Themes folder.

Solstice

Solstice completely reworks iOS 7 icons, adding wonderful shadow effects and slightly softening the color scheme. Currently, in addition to the standard ones, the theme supports more than 90 applications, and the designer, Jon Bussell, promises to constantly expand the list. Hopefully, Facebook is at the top of his list. Google Maps, Twitter and WhatsApp - all these icons are on this moment standard. Solstice can be downloaded for free on Cydia from the ModMyi repository.

Space Blueberry

Space Blueberry is a great theme that will make your desktops more interesting and varied. Support for more than 70 different icons, original ideas for logos of standard applications (pay attention at least to Game Center) - all this can be downloaded completely free of charge from the ModMyi repository. This topic, unfortunately, is not compatible with iPad.

Flat7

Flat7 is a theme that needs no introduction. With over 60,000 downloads, Flat7 is one of the most popular Winterboard themes. In addition to completely reworking all standard icons, designer Nick Viveiros has created a huge number of high-quality icons for third-party applications. In addition, you can specify the desired display directly in the theme - the icons can take on a round or hexagonal shape. The theme is absolutely free and is waiting for you in the BigBoss repository.
