Apple accentuates several interfaces throughout iOS with a blurred background to help bring the overlaying interface into focus; key examples include Control Center, Folders, and Spotlight search, just to name a few.
Albeit aesthetically attractive, Apple could bring these blur effects into the modern age with the help of a darker color scheme. Fortunately, that’s something that a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed Blurbe by iOS developer dpkg_ brings to the table.
In this piece, we’ll discuss at least 10 ways that Apple could improve the iPhone to make it even better than how it currently is.
Dark Mode-centric jailbreak tweaks have become quite the hot commodity as of late, but many lack support for the different types of mapviews used in the bevy of map and navigation apps available for download in the App Store.
Enter Night Maps, a new jailbreak tweak by iOS developer FoxFortMobile that fills this particular niche. As shown above, Night Maps brings a universal Dark Mode experience to the mapview of almost any map or navigation app you might use on your iPhone or iPad.
Dark Mode jailbreak tweaks have become quite the hot commodity among iPhone and iPad users, especially considering how Apple officially supports the feature on macOS. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a reliable all-in-one solution for all your apps and user interfaces rather than installing several jailbreak tweaks to achieve the same result?
If you answered ‘yes’ to that question, then you’re in luck; a new jailbreak tweak called Nightshade by iOS developer Dylan Duff promises ‘an all-in-one iOS Dark Mode’ that promises to ‘theme almost every aspect of the UI.’
One of the most fundamental reasons for owning a jailbroken iPhone or iPad is having the ability to customize it outside of Apple’s stock parameters. If you’re one to enjoy theming or changing the default colors of iOS, then you might appreciate what a free jailbreak tweak called Laetus by iOS developer SparkDev can do for you.
As depicted in the screenshot examples above, Laetus empowers users to colorize iOS’ native keyboard interface with custom colors. With it, you can change the color of the keyboard background and its key text independently of one another.
Chrome is a popular web browser so it's puzzling that it does not support a new system-wide Dark Mode introduced in macOS Mojave, but don't worry because Google is working on it.
Darkened interfaces look good in apps, not so much on websites. The problem is, web content remains a major source of visual inconsistency as far as the popular Dark Mode feature is concerned. Thankfully, you can get a Dark Mode-alike environment on almost any website thanks to a handy Dark Mode V2 shortcut for your iPhone and iPad.
Software giant Microsoft, which today pushed a major design update to its mobile Outlook app for iPhone and iPad, has officially confirmed that it's working on a darkened app interface.
If you like switching back and forth between Light Mode and Dark Mode on your Mac but get tired of going through the process to do so, there’s an easier way.
In just a few minutes, you can create and add a Light/Dark Mode switch to your Mac Dock. It’s super simple, and here’s how.
Due to the high volume of dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks that are launched in the Cydia Store, we seldom cover them here at iDB. But because I use the Google Maps app so much on my daily driver during my commute, a new release dubbed Dark Gmaps by iOS developer FoxfortMobile seemed like a no-brainer.
If you were expecting a barebones tweak that merely colorizes the Google Maps app to look more appealing at night, then we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by Dark GMaps. After installation, the tweak adds a preference pane to the Settings app where you can experiment with a plethora of creeper comfort features:
While the Mac received an official dark mode option in macOS Mojave, iOS wasn’t so fortunate. You can use the Smart Invert feature on your iPhone to achieve a similar effect, but it’s not a real dark mode in the sense of what many would like to have.
Luckily, the jailbreak community conceived a plethora of dark mode-centric jailbreak tweaks in recent memory that can help, and a new free release called DarkTables by iOS developer dpkg_ is no exception.
Dark Mode is fast becoming one of the most popular features of macOS Mojave. Now that feature is being introduced on Safari. In the latest Safari Technology Preview update, there's code that lets site developers know whether a reader is using a Mac with Dark Mode. In doing so, they can have the site match the darker color scheme automatically.
