Since the release of the Evasi0n7 jailbreak just before Christmas, we have seen loads of great tweaks and apps emerge from the Cydia Store. Many of these have offer some really great ways to manipulate the functionality of iOS in a number of ways, while others are a lot more aesthetically focused. Eclipse, a new tweak by developer Guillermo Moran brings a “night mode” to the interface, so all the bright, white color effects become a mixture of dark grays and blacks with the optional accent of an orange tint.
Theme tweaks are really popular with jailbreakers. Eclipse takes the bright colors of the stock iOS user interface and replaces them with darker colors, bringing a night-time, eclipse-like effect. The developer has been gradually preparing the app and posting regular updates on the progress via Twitter (@fr0st). It comes with support for the stock apps,, as well as many of the popular third party utilities like WhatsApp and Facebook.
Before you can use the Eclipse tweak you will of course need to have a jailbroken device, and we should point out, that this tweak only works with iOS 7. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, you can head over to the BigBoss repository to find Eclipse. All the settings for this tweak can be configured from the native Settings app on your home screen, where you will have the option to darken the wallpaper you are using as well. The cost of this app is $0.99 and this is one of the best themes we have seen in quite some time. There is no support for the iPad just yet but we are sure that will arrive with the next update. The tweak is supported on the iPhone 5s and the next update will also include an auto scheduler mode for switching between the night and day modes.
Why not give it a try for yourself and as always, be sure to let us know what you think by posting in the comments below.
