iOS 7 Black Messages Concept

[chumawumba]

For those of you with black iPhones, I think you will understand what I am saying. iOS 7 feels great and all, but it feels too... white. For white iPhones that's great, but for black iPhones, it just doesn't feel as good. I made this concept about what a black messages app might look like. Maybe I will even make it a theme once the jailbreak releases.

This is really, really cool. I'm not a huge fan of the default white/blue theme, and I'd love for this to be an option. I'm sure I'll be looking for this once a jailbreak comes out Nice work!

Nope, black pixels actually use more power. The backlight stays at whatever brightness it was at, and the black pixels are energized to block the light completely.

Thanks, I am trying to see if I can incorporate semi-transparency (Like the iOS Notification center of the black part of the messages app, what do you think?

I thought about that. What about this? (Whatever your wallpaper is will be displayed.)
