Is there any color customization?

[Stuke00]

I don't want to have to JB just to add a little color to my iPhone. I'm pretty sure if Apple offers 2-6 different color themes to iOS (ie Apples bundled iOS 7 wallpapers) they can keep there "theme" in tact.

I, personally, am glad they are working on bringing us new features to iOS rather than adding more color options.

They should at least include a dark mode, like they did for Yosemite. Not just as a cosmetic feature, but it will be nice to have it for night time. Make it work with either scheduled hours or ambient sensor and I wouldn't need something like f.lux with jailbreak.

Seems like I'm not the only one that wants this. Glad to see that.

Really really wish there a night/"darkroom" mode option. That's one thing I miss about my old Android.

Don't they have a dark option in the accessibility section?

They don't unfortunately.

No. The keep it sane. They don't need the loons walking around with their lime green theme showing people their "iPhone". Bad marketing.

Better people just stick to a lime green 5C.

Agreed that there should be a visual clue implemented to make it abundantly clear you're in a group message.

If only it could say "Group" at the top of the chat screen.

I could have sworn iOS 7 had or has a dark screen option.

You might be thinking of Invert Color

Maybe that's it. Does iOS 8 have invert color?

iOS 8 has a grayscale setting. not very pleasing to the eye IMO.

how wonderfully snobby. i've been buying apple products for a while because i did personally enjoy their aesthetic. but since ios7, at least their software design sense has been appealing to me less and less. are you really implying that anyone who isn't onboard with bland shapes on white must implicitly want gaudy?

 

[Señor]

Nope. Just white on white.

That's what she said!

Even if it was an option in iOS 9, I wouldn't use it at all.

The third party keyboards with different colors are going to look strange with the white interface.

 

[Italianblend]

What are these 3rd party keyboards? Can you use them without jailbreak?

 

[Tyler23]

Maybe that's it. Does iOS 8 have invert color?

Yep.

 

[Italianblend]

Can someone post a screenshot of ios8 invert color?

 

[AngerDanger]

Can someone post a screenshot of ios8 invert color?

No, if screenshot is posted, it will look normal because the invert colors option inverts the actual colors being sent to the phone's display.

However, if you want to simulate the viewing of inverted iOS, you can invert your Mac's colors (if you're on an earlier OS than Mountain Lion, the shortcut is enabled by default) and Google iOS 7/8 screenshots.

It should be the same as iOS 7 and before.

I've heard that argument before. Easily solved by apple making their own color themes and then letting us choose one. I would even pay for them.

A friend of mine from Dubai told me that if you buy a gold iPhone 5s in certain countries (China, UAE, Saudi Arabia) and are one of Apple's "VIP" customers, Apple can enable a secret settings option that enables a gold theme throughout iOS. It is only available with the gold iPhone 5s!

What are these 3rd party keyboards? Can you use them without jailbreak?

Yes, they will be installed through apps from the App Store. iOS 8 officially supports installation of custom keyboards.

 

[Italianblend]

the 3rd party keyboards sound interesting. That will at least be something. But I would still like to see more color customization. People do get tired of the same thing.
