If you\u2019re interested in adding a touch of color to your Control Center interface in a way inspired by that of watchOS<\/a> itself, then you\u2019re going to be interested in a new free jailbreak tweak<\/a> called Cream<\/strong>. Cream can be had from Cydia\u2019s<\/a> BigBoss repository today, and in this review, we\u2019ll talk a little more about how the tweak works.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using Cream to colorize Control Center toggle buttons<\/h2>\n

Cream is a jailbreak tweak that gives iOS a new look and feel in a very subtle way. Even something as small as changing the colors of the Control Center toggle buttons can make a huge difference in the user interface\u2019s attractiveness.<\/p>\n

The developer notes that the tweak was based off of watchOS, which, in case you\u2019re not familiar with it at all, the toggle buttons in your settings Glance will turn similar colors when you turn them on and off:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Although the watchOS toggle buttons only include three toggles, one each for for Airplane Mode, Do Not Disturb<\/a>, and ringer\/silent, the iPhone has a total of five: Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi<\/a>, Bluetooth<\/a>, Do Not Disturb, and Rotation Lock.<\/p>\n

The additional toggles the iPhone has means the developer had to get a little creative with two additional colors, but nevertheless, they look pretty spot on with what I\u2019d expect to see if additional toggles were ever added to the Apple Watch<\/a> in any way.<\/p>\n

Although it\u2019s a simple tweak, Cream is fully compatible with FlipControlCenter<\/a> and Polus<\/a>, which are both incredibly popular Control Center modification extension platforms.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Configuring Cream<\/h2>\n

Cream will add a preferences pane to the Settings app, but there aren\u2019t a whole lot of options to configure. What you\u2019ll find is a kill switch to turn the tweak on or off on demand, as well as an option to configure custom colors for your Control Center toggles if you\u2019re using FlipControlCenter or Polus.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

When you want to pick a custom color for yourself, you\u2019ve given a full color picker rather than pre-set colors, so the options are literally endless:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

My opinion on Cream<\/h2>\n

I think Cream is a well-crafted port of a rather nice-looking watchOS feature over to iOS. I always liked this feature about the Apple Watch, and having it on my iPhone makes me feel a little more complete.<\/p>\n

Although I\u2019m quite happy with the stock colors the tweak comes with, it\u2019s kind of nice that it lets you pick your own so long as you use a third-party Control Center modification extension like FlipControlCenter and Polus.<\/p>\n

As of this writing, there is a small bug with the tweak related to this and FlipControlCenter, so changing colors isn\u2019t possible at the moment, but it appears to work right with Polus at this time.<\/p>\n

On the more critical side of cream, it\u2019s not really a tweak for minimalists because all it does is modify the look and appearance of something to make it pop out more. It\u2019s a tweak for those that like to tinker and make things look unique from everyone else\u2019s, and this is something to keep in mind.<\/p>\n

Wrapping up<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re jailbroken and are interested in giving your iPhone a watchOS-inspired color makeover for its Control Center toggle buttons, then you can download Cream from Cydia\u2019s BigBoss repository for free right now.<\/p>\n
