The release of evasi0n 7 created a surge of activity in the jailbreak world. The developers urgently updated their applications and tweaks for iOS 7 and new hardware. Now there is some good news - Winterboard has been updated, gaining support for 64-bit processors. For those who are not in the know, let me remind you that Winterboard is key tool to change the system interface. Now that the days of skeuomorphism are gone, Winterboard theme designers have reworked their designs to match the latest trends. There are simply an incredible number of Winterboard themes in Cydia, so we have selected for you the best and most worthy, in our opinion.
Zanilla 2 (free)
This theme is very well designed and looks amazing. Clear, with a soft, muted range. The shadows from the central elements of the icons look very advantageous, emphasizing the concept of multi-layering in iOS 7 (the same effect is used in the Solstice theme, it is also on the list). Icons popular applications have already been added, but still the developer still has to big job on filling with icons for third party applications. So far Zanilla 2 has not been added to any Cydia repository, so you will have to download it from the author's page on deviantART and manually install it by placing it in the directory /Library/Themes/ using any file manager(iFile, iExplorer or iFunBox).
Soft Remix for iOS 7 (free)
This theme is similar to the previous one, there is the same pleasant range and “soft” colors (I am far from design, so I will describe things according to the impressions they give me). The icons are based on the native iOS 7 icons, with the difference that they have a slightly different shape. Enough interesting solution, looks nice. There are not as many third-party icons as we would like, but they are there. Also, the unmodified app icons don't stand out as much since the theme is based on iOS 7. Download Soft Remix for iOS 7 is available from the BigBoss repo in Cydia.
M'flat (free)
A flat theme with a “speaking” name. Landscapes, waterfalls, mountains, and lakes are used as background for icons. In general it looks good, but personally I prefer more minimalistic solutions. Many third party icons replaced, but there is still a lot of work ahead. At the moment, the author has not yet placed M'flat in Cydia, so you need to download and place it in the directory /Library/Themes/ using any file manager (iFile, iExplorer or iFunBox).
1derful HD and 1Derland ($2.99)
These are not new releases, but ports of previously proven themes. Developers are faced with certain restrictions, which are in iOS 7. That is why the 1derful HD and 1Derland themes currently only change icons, while on previous versions they completely changed the appearance (including all design elements). After the standard icons of iOS 7, 1derful HD and 1Derland is quite ridiculous, but there is no arguing about tastes - someone still likes it. These themes are available in Cydia and cost $2.99 each.
RocketSauce ($2.99)
RocketSauce is another theme that came to us with iOS 6, recently gaining support for 64-bit devices and iOS 7. Like the previous 1derful HD and 1Derland, it is designed for complete change interface, but so far only custom icons are available. Later, the developer promises to release an update that will give a complete “restyling”, but this will naturally take time. For those who do not like the flat interface of iOS 7, this theme may be one of the replacement options. RocketSauce retails for $2.99 on Cydia.
Solstice (free)
Solstice interesting topic, whose icons are based on standard icons iOS 7. The author toned down a little color palette and used an interesting technique - long shadows. It is because of this feature that the topic is called “solstice”. A striking effect that gives volume to objects, while at the same time leaving them flat. Icons of all popular applications are present in the theme, but the unmodified ones look quite decent, without deviating from the overall concept. Solstice can be downloaded for free from Cydia, from the ModMyi repository.
Space Blueberry (free)
Quite an interesting topic that has a flat modern design, reminiscent standard iOS 7 design. But unlike iOS 7, it has a more “cartoon” appearance. Space Blueberry has replaced more than 70 third-party application icons. At the moment, the theme exists only as an iPhone version. It can be downloaded for free from the ModMyi repository in Cydia.
Flat7 (free)
Flat7 is based on the default iOS design 7, the icons are the same flat, but slightly different. Statistics show that this is a very popular topic - it has already been downloaded more than 60,000 times. All standard icons have been replaced, and the number of third-party application icons continues to increase. In addition, Flat7 allows you to select the mask (shape) of the icons and make them round or hexagonal. Soon the developer promises iPad support, in the meantime, you can download the iPhone version of Flat7 for free from the BigBoss repository in Cydia.
Oil7 (free)
As you've probably already noticed, all themes that have a seven in their name somehow have something in common with the standard design of iOS 7. This is what we see in the case of Oil7. The same icons are used here as in iOS 7, but the author used an oil paint effect; the icons look as if they were painted with a brush. To be honest, I don’t really like this effect, but others may, on the contrary, like it. At least they don’t charge you for it - the theme can be downloaded for free from the BigBoss repo.
It can be said (and it is true) that after iOS release 7 views on interface design have radically changed. Developers and theme builders are picking up the baton of Jony Ive, who has declared war on skeuomorphism. Now, a few months after emergence of iOS 7, we can already say with confidence that he won it. Many users (including me) are quite happy with the design of iOS 7, but some always want more. If you belong to the second category, there is already a choice of alternatives, and over time it will only increase.
Exists whole line reasons why iPhone owners, iPod touch and iPad, and one of them is the ability to change themes. Unfortunately, you have to wait longer and longer for the release of a jailbreak between the releases of new iOS versions, and sometimes you just don’t have enough patience. Those who are tired of waiting should pay attention to new platform iSkin, which allows you to install themes on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad without jailbreak.

Ability to customize icons on home screen Non-jailbroken devices sound too good to be true. However, with iSkin this is indeed the case. In order to use the platform, the device must be running iOS control and more later versions. It is noteworthy that iSkin does not replace the factory icons with others, but simply adds icons with the theme appear on the screen. That is, you can use icons with a theme, and hide the old ones out of sight.
