How to Use WinterBoard

Here, I’ll walk through installing WinterBoard and downloading a theme from Cydia to apply to the iPhone Springboard. I’ll also show you a few of the different variations of theming that can be applied using WinterBoard.

1. Download WinterBoard from Cydia

        

2. RESTART YOUR PHONE

In order for WinterBoard to work correctly you MUST restart your phone after installation. To do this hold down the power button until the “slide to power off” slider appears. Power off the phone, and then press the power button again to turn it back on.

3. Open WinterBoard

Tap the WinterBoard icon on the Springboard.

4. Apply Selected Theme(s)

WinterBoard comes with a few built in themes. One is Saurik’s own to show off changing backgrounds and other elements that WinterBoard is capable of. I say ‘Theme(s)’ in the title of this step because WinterBoard allows you to apply multiple themes at one time. For instance, you might apply one of Saurik’s themes and also want ‘Transparent Icon Labels’. You could select both, and elements from both would be applied to your Springboard.

   

5. Download Custom Themes From ithemesky.com or Cydia

Now that we’ve verified theming is working ok, let’s try a custom theme from Cydia. I’ll use a NBA theme for this example.

• Open Cydia
• Tap ‘Sections’
• Tap ‘Planet-iPhones Mods’
• Install ‘NBA Theme’
• Open WinterBoard
• Uncheck everything
• Check NBA-Theme
• Exit WinterBoard

If you are not satisfied with the themes on Cydia, visit www.cellbull.com, it provided thousands of free iphone themes, enjoy it.

       

   

6. Applying Multiple Themes

I mentioned earlier you could apply multiple themes to combine elements. Let’s try adding Saurik’s theme to the NBA-Theme. We should get Saurik’s Background and Dock and NBA-Theme’s Icons.

• Open WinterBoard
• Leave NBA-Theme Checked
• Check Saurik
• Press Home to return to the Springboard

Ok, I admit it’s a really bad example as these two themes look hideous together, however it does show the power of WinterBoard compared to the original SummerBoard.

7. Remove All Themes

If you want to return the phone to a stock look, simply open WinterBoard and uncheck all themes.
