Once you purchase this $1.99 tweak, you’ll be able to choose from 12 different animations and set a custom animation speed. There's nothing special about LivelyIcons, but the developer has bigger plans for this tweak. Created by Filippo Bigarella, LivelyIcons serves a greater cause. All the proceeds from this tweak are being donated to cancer research charities. Filippo explained the details on his blog:Hey everyone, I think you probably already heard about my new upcoming tweak, LivelyIcons: I posted a small video preview on Twitter a couple of days ago, and many people seemed to like it. However, what I will be telling you in this post is not strictly related to the features of the tweak, nor I will speak about any technical detail: what I want to tell you today is how you can help other people by purchasing LivelyIcons. In fact, I had a plan for this tweak right from the beginning: gather funding for research, in particular pediatric cancer research. How much will be donated? Price point: $1.99 Net gain (-30%): $1.39 PayPal fees (-7/8%): $1.28 Italian taxes (-27%): $0.92 (the so-called ‘aliquota’: that sucks, I know) So, I can officially announce that I’ll be donating $1 for every copy of LivelyIcons sold.As you can see, LivelyIcons doesn’t add a lot of functionality to your iOS device, but it’s definitely worth every penny. Not only do you get a good tweak from a reputable developer, you’re also supporting pediatric cancer research. Currently, LivelyIcons is available in the BigBoss repository for $1.99.
