Okay, how did you get those icon groupings on your desktop?

KnucklesARouge · **Post subject:** Re: March 2012 Desktops **Posted:** Sun Mar 18, 2012 6:34 pm

It's called "Fences" and it's a program by Stardock.

It's a program called Fences and sold by Stardock, the pro version sells for $19.95 but they do have a free version.

iOS anyone?

Windows 8 Consumer Preview got boring, useless, and crappy so I decided to restore Windows 7 Ultimate in my laptop:

Restoring Windows 7 did not really take time since other shenanigans kept me distracted to feel the time, including downloading and installing SP1 on 386/128 Kbps internet speed.

"Extended" mode is what everyone else calls roaming - which I'm on a lot while at school.

I'm guessing it's jailbroken...

Naturally. The default iOS icon set is horrendous.

Personally, I don't mind it, are they're any disadvantages to it? I might jailbreak my ipod touch 4th gen.

evangelikevin · **Post subject:** Re: March 2012 Desktops **Posted:** Sat Mar 24, 2012 1:52 am

The only real disadvantages are that if you don't know what you're doing you could brick your iPod (I have the same model as you), and you have to manually check Cydia for updated packages. Oh, and you'll lose your jailbreak (and any installed apps or tweaks from Cydia) if you update your iOS version before there's a new jailbreak out for it.

What do you mean "brick your ipod"

Send the wrong kernel exploit -> iOS tries to boot with invalid settings -> it doesn't boot and is rendered unusable, or "bricked"

Ah! that happend to my friend's iphone 3GS, he said he will never jailbreak it again.

As I said, it's easy if you know what you're doing. Takes five minutes to learn.

Personally I much prefer the default iOS icon set to the theme you're currently using - looks like it was whipped together in 10 minutes. :\ But to each their own.

iOS looks clean and organized to me..

My problem with it is that the icon colors tend to clash and the icons are too shiny. I know those seem like piddly complaints, but that's just my personal quirk.

I do agree with you a little bit about them clashing. Also, some apps have horrible app covers that look ugly.

When I get my 4th gen iPod touch, I will jailbreak it and theme it.

Also, Windows 98 VM.
