Use WinterBoard to skin your iPhone 2.0

By on August 16, 2008 in Posted In: Apps, iPhone

Bored with the background and standard icons on your iPhone, if your iPhone is a jailbreak one, you got the privilege to use WinterBoard and give your iPhone a completely new skin. WinterBoard on iPhone 2.0 (like its predecessor Summerboard for iPhone 1.1.4) is an iPhone theme manager that allows you to change any WinterBoard/SummerBoard theme on iPhone. Take a look how Winterboard can skin your iPhone :-)

How about changing your iPhone to Vending Machine?
WinterBoard - Vending Machine

Or use Wood?
WinterBoard - Wood

How about Vista’s look & feel?

Like the new look & feel of iPhone? To use WinterBoard is easy,

1. First, you can install Winterboard through Cydia.

2. Next, in Cydia, select and install any WinterBoard/SummerBoard theme you like

Cydia - Select WinterBoard Theme

3. Go back to Home screen and launch WinterBoard. Tap on the skin you just install and click the Home button

4. Okay, wait for a few second and let WinterBoard load the skin for you. You’ll then bring back to the locked screen. Unlock it and you’ll see a fresh new look of your iPhone.

Switching back to the original iPhone Look & Feel

Some time, you may want to back to basic and use the original iPhone theme. There is no direct button that let you do so. You need to download a “default” WinterBoard theme. And then, go back to WinterBoard and install the theme.
