Virtual 2

Today I'm bringing you a review of the fantastic Virtual 2 by @JedEye81 and the rest of the Virtual2 team. You might think by the name that it's just an updated version of his original theme Virtual, but you'd be wrong very wrong indeed as this isn't just an updated version but a completely different theme altogether and it's one hell of a theme.


Now where to start is the question, well let's start off with the obvious, the icons. Each icon has been carefully designed and made to a very high quality and standard, and some ingenious ideas brought to life by their design like for instance the ThunderCats clock and the Mickey Mouse clock, which are just fantastic and you will be torn between which one to use (if only you could have both on) as both just bring us great flashbacks of the kids shows we watched as kids, we all remember Liono being the top boss in the ThunderCats and Mickey Mouses laugh and his faithful dog Pluto and to have an icon do that is one of the things that makes this theme stand out.

The maps icon has a licence plate as the design, which again is an ingenious idea that is executed brilliantly and the health icon is a first aid bag and settings icon is dial which just works so well. The music app is styled like an old style radio with the frequency needle visible also and the phone icon is styled like the back of a iPhone and their is alts for that icon and many many more, the Tweetbot3 icon is one you need to see as its one of my favourites, and you'll find another awesome Tweetbot3 icon made by @MTK, not all of these icons have been made by @JedEye81 they've been made by members of the Virtual2 team, I will put all members at the end. And as its had a team effort it has definitely helped with the quality and diversity in each icon design. It's important when working as a group that your all on the same wavelength as each other and that is evident all through the theme with the consistency of each element to Virtual2. 

With this theme you'll get a range of ClassicDocks and also iconomatics available inside Winterboard to set this theme up exactly how you want it, from light docks to dramatic dark docks. Also you'll get some LockScreen themes that have been made by @Zooropalg so you'll get the complete package to maximise your iPhones look and feel. This really is a fantastic theme and a flash back to how icons used to be designed and made, a bit oldskool and we all love oldskool style. If your a theme lover then you'll really need to have this theme in your purchased list, and if you don't then go get it as you will not be disappointed. 

You'll find alt icons inside Winterboard and also inside of iFile for you to change manually. I would recommend you check out the Screenshots below so you can see for yourself just how good they are. Also don't forget to check out the ModMyi forum as its a hive of activity and loads of extras that others have contributed. Virtual2 has just had an update with new icons and some cracking docks from @studioproz, and will be updated on a regular basis.
