Please follow the above link to the newest version of my concept.


If you haven't already please read my original thread:

So after posting the concept I decided it wasn't exactly how I wanted it to be. I thought that having two different interfaces showing the same content was inconsistent, so i re-redesigned the app switcher and dock.

This first screenshot shows a number of changes to the overall UI. The first is the battery icon, which now shows a 'bolt' only when charging, and is hidden any other time. The second is the clock icon which is now the same as the one found on the iPad. Next, the gradient on the wallpaper has been removed. Finally, the dock is now the same as the one found on OS X Mountain Lion. All of these changes can be done to your iPhone or iPod touch if it is jailbroken. Read the FAQ to find out how.

This next screenshot shows the 'Quick Toggles' section I talked about in my previous thread. They will function the same as I said before, so you will still get to it by swiping left to right on the dock (unless you are in a currently running app, where you will have to swipe twice). These icons were taken from the tweak 'Auxo', which is also an app switcher mod. It costs $1.99 in the Cydia store.

This screenshot simply shows the running apps view on the dock. Nothing has really changed. You still get to it by swiping from right to left on the dock (unless you are in a currently running app, where it will be the default view).

This is where the most change has occurred. While the switcher will function the same as I said it did in my previous thread, it will now look exactly the same as the the dock found on the home screen. Whereas the home screen dock's default view will be the favourites section, the switcher dock's default view will be the currently running apps. Also, the shadow from the current switcher under the running app is still there. This screenshot shows the dock on the favourites section.

Everything else from my previous thread remains the same. Again, this won't make sense until you read the previous thread:

More Q&A
Note: Read the Q&A from the previous thread for more answers.

How did you get the battery icon like that?
If your jailbroken, go to Cydia and search for a tweak called 'Bolt' (phoenix3200, BigBoss repo, free) and install it.

How did you get the Clock icon like that?
For this you will need to be jailbroken and have 'WinterBoard' (saurik, Telesphoreo repo, free) and either 'iFunBox' (Windows, free) or 'iFile' (Carsten Heinelt, BigBoss repo, $4.00 or free trial).
Go to:
http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2012/189/4/b/ios_6_ipad_clock_icon_by_fonebone2k-d56fchv.png
and download the clock icon from the site (The deviantART user FoneBone2K created this version of the icon). Then, rename the image to 'icon@2x.png'.
In the filesystem, go to 'var/stash/Themes.******' and add a new folder called something like 'iPad Clock theme'. In this folder make a folder called 'Bundles'. In that folder make a folder called 'com.apple.mobiletimer'. In this folder place the 'icon@2x.png' image you got earlier. Save and quit.
In WinterBoard simply enable the theme and respring. Done!

How did you remove the wallpaper gradient?
Again, you need to be jailbroken and have 'WinterBoard' installed. Just go to Cydia, search for 'Wall Gradient Be Gone' (hrutkaymods, ModMyi repo, free) and install it. Then enable the theme in winterboard and respring.

How did you get the dock like that?
Again, you need to be jailbroken and have 'WinterBoard' installed. Just go to Cydia and add the repo:
http://repo.andreafedi.net/
and then search for 'ML Dock - iPhone' (Andrea Fedi, andreafedi.net repo, free). Install it and enable it in WinterBoard, then respring.

Why did you write about changing the Clock icon/status bar battery? Isn't this about the dock/switcher?
I thought these were two of the changes Apple needs to make in iOS 7. They aren't really related to the dock or switcher; I just wanted to throw them in anyway.

I want that wallpaper!

I have a question that wasn't answered.
Post it below and I'll (probably) answer it. DON'T post in the previous thread! I might not answer it.
