AccentColor allows jailbreakers to colorize the iOS user interface just like they do on macOS.
Coloring the user interface is in the blood of jailbreakers. It’s one of the most famous ways to make a phone your own, to make it stand out from the plethora of plain color UIs, and now iOS developer ETHN is making it even easier with a free jailbreak tweak called AccentColor.
Once you install AccentColor, you can tint various aspects of the iOS user interface to your liking. The tweak adds a dedicated settings panel to the settings app where users can turn AccentColor on and off on demand and select all the different apps it will take effect in:
The tweak also adds a new setting to the default “Display & Brightness”preference pane in the Settings app, where you can choose your preferred accent color:
The color you choose here refers to a range of different interface elements you’ll find when using your iPhone, including:
- Navigation bar buttons
- Tab bar buttons
- Get Buttons in the App Store
- Adjustment knob rods
- And much more…
Colors are selected using a color picker with no predefined colors, allowing you to choose just about any base color you want or any color in between.
A similar color tint scheme is available on macOS computers, so the developer was trying to add some symmetry between platforms with this setting.
If you’re ready to try out the new AccentColor setting, you can download it for free from the Havoc repository through your favorite package management app. The tweak supports jailbroken iOS 13 and 14 devices.
