iPhone 3GS Jailbreak – Finally Found a Theme

Glasklart iPhone theme Glasklart theme for iPhone

I ‘ve been running my iPhone 3GS jailbroken for a little over a month now.  Overall, I ‘m more than happy with running it this way, and have no plans to switch back to stock, other than for major firmware updates “ and even then I will look to re-jailbreak when possible.

One thing I ‘d been missing from ‘old school ‘ jailbreak days for the last few weeks was theming, giving the iPhone a little bit of a different look.  Well not anymore.  I ‘ve finally found a theme that I like a lot, that does not force me into transforming the phone too much, and that appears to have little or no effect on performance.

As many of you will already recognize, it ‘s the Glasklart theme, the one that Gabe did a feature post on just a couple days ago. In fact, Gabe ‘s post was the final nudge for me “ I grabbed the theme and installed it a little while after reading it.

Thanks to shobizz3000 and a few of you who have suggested this theme over recent weeks when I mentioned not finding any I liked.  I noted those suggestions and had a peek at the theme a few times.  So I was nearly there, and Gabe ‘s post did the rest.

Check out Gabe ‘s post for more screencaps and info on the theme.  I ‘ll just say that I like it a lot, and my iPhone is still running as well as ever while using it.  I haven ‘t turned on any of the theme ‘s ‘extra ‘ features “ I ‘m just using it in combination with the Winterboard setting to use my own wallpaper.

My only small issue with using a theme so far is the age old one of not yet finding icons for many of the apps I have installed.  Glasklart comes with a very good range of icons, but when you have 10 screens worth of apps, and some of them are not popular hits sort of apps, it ‘s always going to be an issue. 

Just a quick random thought for the day on that “ wouldn ‘t it be cool if someone ran a site for finding icons for some of the most popular themes, a place that made it dead easy to find all the ones you ‘re looking for “ searchable by app name, by theme, and so forth.  If anybody ‘s got some free time on the weekend, maybe whip one of those up for us? :)  Or does such a site already exist?  If so, somebody please share a link for it.
