August 17, 2011 by Jaden Easton-Ellett 7 Comments

WinterBoard is a state-of-the-art theming utility for your Jailbroken iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. It allows you to modify the style of numerous aspects of your iDevice including the icons, dock and statusbar. Giving your iDevice a complete graphical overhaul! In this how to guide from iJailbreak.com you will learn how to install WinterBoard to your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Note: If your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad is not jailbroken you can follow our how to jailbreak guides by clicking here.

Step 1: The first thing you will need to do is launch Cydia from your iDevices SpringBoard.

Step 2: Tap the Search tab located on the bottom tab bar and search for WinterBoard.

    For the benefit of noobies and to make this tut a thorough HowTo; you can probably include additonal reference to say that there thousands of themes that can be downloaded from Cydia and probably show them how to use the Sections tab to download themes.  I noticed that for a while now, Saurik placed a shortcut to featured themes on the home tab of Cydia App.
