ColorBadges: make the notification circles the color of the icon (Cydia)

jailbreak is a synonym for personalize, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. I am not a friend of putting themes or adding colors to iOS, I appreciate its simplicity, although I understand that there are people who like to change.

In the case of the tweak that we present to you, and which will be available very soon, the customization is very correct and very much in the style that Apple would do. Is about change the color of the badges to match the color of the icon they are on.

Badges are those little circles that appear in the upper right corner of the icon when we have a pending notification. With ColorBadges installed the color of that notification will adapt to the predominant color in the icon, in the case of Mail it will be blue, in the case of FaceTime it will be green, etc.

You wonder what happens to folders, folder badges remain red, as they always have been, there is no change. But if you open the folder in question, the badges on the icons within those folders will be adapted to the color of the icon.

Also the tweak has a detail very good, add a line on the edge of the badge so that it makes more contrast; and when the icon is white and the notification is white, as in the case of reminders, ColorBadges modifies the white line that surrounds the badge and makes it black for the same reason, to make it contrast.

Sometimes when there are a lot of red circles on the screen it is a bit overwhelming. If you have many notifications we recommend you install this tweak, they will be much more discreet.

You can download it for free in Cydia starting next Monday, you will find it in the BigBoss repo. You need to have done the jailbreak on your device.
