betrfolders does not do what I'm looking for.

I searched the forums but couldnt find what I was looking for.

is there something that will make folders clear instead of the blurry look that fades to whatever your background color is? Thanks


ios7, iphone 5
 
If you turn off wallpaper bluring in Springboard's hidden settings, you'll get this:

what I mean, is all my folders, I want them to be clear, with just a silver border
 
If you turn off wallpaper bluring in Springboard's hidden settings

Thanks for this tip. Found I couldn't control the folder background as well as I could the folder icons, but HiddenSettings7 is a great util.

Like the OP, I'd like a totally transparent background, but with border options.
 
Still not what I'm talking about! Looking at your home screen ! The folders are still blurry! Not when you open a folder.

I downloaded it...it works, except for the "foreground icon" -- that doesn't show up even when disabling thumbnails. Also, no option for just a border as OP was seeking.
 
First off I want to apologize for resurrecting a new thread, but A Buick 8, what is the tweak you are using to get multiple rows/columns in the folders? Thanks.

there are numerous better options now
