Shiro Gold Edition.

Today I'm pleased to be back and reviewing the new theme by @yuki.o7. Shiro Gold Edition is yuki's newest venture, you may be thinking "I've heard of Shiro before" and you'd be right thinking that, but the name is where the similarities end as the Gold Edition is a complete rebuild, and what a rebuild it is. It's got a fantastic glitzy and sparkly look about the design, yet manages to keep a clean and fresh look in the icons without being over zealous in its design and having too much going on in each icon design.

 My first impressions so far have been higher than what I had first anticipated, this theme is the first theme I've had installed that has had each icon themed over the first 2 pages of my springboard, including icons to which are in folders, that's pretty impressive as far as I'm concerned, all AppStore apps and many Cydia  apps all have their own design. Great stuff so far. 

This is yuki's first theme since circly (to which you can find a review on my blog) and it's great to see he hasn't lost any of his design flair. This theme is clean, glitzy and very regal. Yuki's level of theme making continues to grow with each release, I'm made up that he decided to regenerate the Shiro name as it's always had a good rep for being of very high quality and once you install this theme and activate it in Winterboard you'll see exactly what I'm on about. 

Don't be alarmed when you look in Winterboard and only see 1 element available, as that 1 element covers the main Theme, settings icons, ClassicBadges and of course ClassicDock. The ClassicBadges are a beautiful shade of light gold with white numerals and the ClassicDock is superb as it adds a real touch of major class to the dock to compliment the theme beautifully. A lot of people have attempted to pull off a gold theme and in my opinion only 2 Devs have pulled it off and @yuki.o7 is definitely one of them. 

I've been using this theme for a few days now and it just works beautifully for day to day stuff, and really does set well against a white iPhone, it looks slick and understated on my 6+ and it's definitely one I will continue to use for a long time to come. This theme is also iPad compatible and iPad users you will find a element called "Shiro Gold Edition iPad Essentials" in Winterboard and that will give your iPad "a glitzy yet clean" look. Check out the screenshots below for more info. It's in Cydia now so go get it, and remember to purchase it in the correct manner.
