After a long time, Russel has updated his quirky theme. Maybe one of the most original you can find on Cydia: Doodles.
Patrick has reviewed it here back in January (2008!), but the author says there have been major changes and he’s right, the theme is slighty different from the last time. It has improved, a lot.
Doodles comes with a unique style, hard to find in other themes. It looks like a child-painting and we can see the attention to details is high.
Everything in the Homescreen is themed, it provides a nice yellow background that fits perfectly with the icons. Moreover, the choice of the colors of the dock and of the upperbar is right, they relax your eyes. Considering I stare at my iPhone for a large part of the day, it is fundamental.
There are 280+ icons available and the author is planning to support any request that is made at this thread on ModMyI, so if any of your favourite app is missing you can simply ask and wait for an icon. Cool.
Doodles is not a complete theme and maybe this could be bad. I tend to be feel odd when my eyes get used to the childlike style of my Homescreen and then the opening of a non-themed app like messages bring them back to the default style. But if you want to change your boring default homescreen to a more creative one without overwhelming your iPhone ram and battery, this theme might be the right choice.
I don’t use this kind of themes because I get bored of them very quickly, but this is what happens to me. However, if I had to choose a new theme (I’m using Glasklart right now), Doodles would be in my top list.
