Cydia Tweak: Customize Color Schemes For Individual Apps With Emphasize
by Joe White
April 28, 2013
Please see the update at the bottom of this article.
Emphasize is a brand new tweak from popular jailbreak developer Ryan Petrich, which allows users to customize both the default color scheme in Apple's iOS, and the color schemes for individual applications. The new jailbreak tweak is much like the $0.99 Accentify, a further recent addition to the Cydia Store that we posted on earlier today.
Petrich's Emphasize, however, is rather different from Accentify. Apart from the fact that the former jailbreak tweak is free to download, it also allows users to customize the color schemes of individual applications - something that Accentify does not currently feature.
Emphasize can be configured from within the built in Settings app, and a large number of color schemes, such as "Butter," "Chameleon," and "Sky Blue," are available to choose from.
In order to download Emphasize, jailbreakers will first need to add Ryan Petrich's repository to their Cydia app. The repo address is: http://rpetri.ch/repo/.
For more information on the new jailbreak tweak, be sure to watch our video walkthrough, which is embedded below.
Update. Following the original publication of this article, the $0.99 Accentify was updated to add color customization for individual iOS apps. The two jailbreak tweaks are now largely similar, though Accentify is still $0.99 while Petrich's Emphasize is available free of charge.
