Tweaking away, with beautiful themes on the iPhone

I have to admit one thing – I’m a tweak geek. I really spend too much time tweaking the interface, performance etc. The problem is that I get bored very quickly, I’m constantly changing the background of my desktop. Anyway, I will deal with that problem later.

I love the power that Cydia for the iPhone gives a tweaker. The theme community and the material that’s out there and available through Cydia and Winterboard is huge and the quality of the themes are amazing! I thought I’d share two of my favorite themes. The first is Glasklart, which is Swedish for “Glass Clear” or a better translation would probably be “Crystal Clear”. The icons are completely transparent except for the logos which are always white. This theme looks great if you have a nice wallpaper with matching colors. Second is iElegance, which is a very complete theme that modifies most parts of the interface, from the music controller to the look of the clock app and the settings app.

I just found some very nice tweaks through Cydia. There’s a mod called WeatherIcon which makes it possible to get live updates of the weather and get it displayed directly onto the icon, so there’s no need to open the app. Pretty cool I say! It’s also possible to get the icon of the clock app to show the time in real-time through a mod called LiveClock.

Well enough of this ultra ultra-geeky and actually pretty meaningless tech-talk for today. It’s pretty fun though, but I really should try to do something more productive with my time.
