Ceres

I'm pleased to be bringing you a review of Ceres from one of my favourite Devs @Cjmann1ng. This is Cj's first theme since Gliese, which was a massive hit in the Jailbreak community. Ceres has all the characteristics of a Cj theme, which lets face it we wouldn't want it any other way. 

Ceres is a white based theme but with lots of vibrant colours perfectly added to bring a beautifully balanced blend of  white and colour, yet it manages to keep a fun filled feel to it to make sure it doesn't come off as a majorly serious "all about design" theme and keeps true to Cjs design style which is always a well balanced level of design, fun and great user experience, which has always been something I've enjoyed about Cjs themes as it means no matter what sort of mood you are in Ceres will always cater for your needs, especially on a Monday morning (lol). I don't think I've come across a theme that has a white base yet big splashes of colour and yet be so perfectly balanced and  Cjs pulled it off spectacularly. Ceres has been a long time in the making and it's been well worth the wait if I'm perfectly honest, I think Cj even completely remade the icons at one point and he brought us a little masterpiece here.

After installing from Cydia you will find more than enough elements to give you full control of how your springboard will look, from a massive amount of ClassicBadges to a large selection of docks, my personal favourite is the new wooden dock, which as it says in title is wooden yet has a thin white line that lays horizontally at the back of the dock, yet you will find black docks, white docks and some of the old favourite wood docks. 

All settings icons are themed which just looks fantastic and adds a bit of vibrancy to the settings panel. You get a lot of icons themed with Ceres and that is what we've come to expect from Cj and he will do his best to fulfil all icons requested.

 

A new version of Ceres is also available now, the new version is named Ceres Dusk. Ceres Dusk adds a nice darkened feel and look to the icons yet doesn't lose its fun appeal to it, check out the shots below of Dusk and I think you'll agree it looks amazing and is a fantastic addition to this great all rounder.   

Ceres is available now in the Cydia store and can be found in the featured section of themes along with Cjs other themes, Gliese and T1tan. You can be assured that Ceres will be updated regularly as with all of Cjs themes. The iWidget used in the screenshots is the Gliese silly widget. As I said it's in Cydia now so go grab your copy now and check out the screenshots below. Purchase this theme in the correct way.
