Luminous

Well what can I say, this is Daniels best work to date, it's fantastic, the icons are beautiful and very clean with a sort of crisp new feel to them too. Over 200 icons added. You will find a lot of elements in Winterboard to adjust and play with including some iconomatic Overlays supplied by Romy (@Bacardi1985) and then tweaked by Daniel himself to get his touch onto it also settings icons are themed thanks to @Jato_BZ.  You will be shocked by this theme as it's a massive step in a new direction and what a brilliant step it is, Avril was a big shock to fans of iHaz3 as it was a different approach at mixing "dark" with a contemporary antique look, and Daniel has blown our socks off with this new theme, when some designers try a different direction it doesn't always work but in this instance it's working, and working very very well. It's beautiful to look at and a pleasure on the eyes too. I take my hat off to you Daniel as this is amazing. It has a beautiful logo and different loading screens which again shows a lighter side to iHaz3 but still keeping the sharpness in the logo. Check out the screenshots below then go to Cydia and buy it. Don't pirate any themes or tweaks please. Support the Devs. 
 
 
 




SumwaZ

Today I'm bringing to you a review of the theme SumwaZ, first off wow, it's very different from other themes out there. Some would say the design is quite wacky, on some levels I'd agree, but then I think it's a major breathe of fresh air, the iconomatic themes are brilliant, some add massive amounts of gradient and depth and plenty of shadow thrown in. Each icon has been designed from scratch, with out going overboard on the icon design @Svink77 has managed to create something unique and quirky and something you can tell has a lot of his personal character inside this theme. Also managing to bring us some beautiful UI elements which again sit perfectly in what @Svink77 has created with the icons. With all the iconomatic themes included you will always be changing the set up of your springboard, which if your a true theme fan you'll love doing anyway. This a fantastic "Different" theme, and the "Different" is a major bonus here. It's live in the Cydia Store now. If your a true fan of art you'll already have it. Don't forget to check out screenshots below.

7hemis

Today I am doing a review for a great theme, 7hemis by @ulysseleviet is a great theme, it comes with 3 icon colours, 3 UI colours and a few more iconomatic themes, as well as wallpapers and a colourkeyboard theme and not forgetting a Jellylock theme, you get a lot with this theme, and guess what? It's free, yes you read it right I said "Free". It's truly breathtaking that you get all this inside a package that is free. It's got quite an edgey look to the theme, and whether your in a "dark" mood or "light" mood you will find something inside this package that will compliment both your mood and your iPhone/iPod. Also included is settings icons, big thanks to @Jato_BZ for bringing us this element of theme to iOS 7. Some of the UI is also themed as well as UI sounds. You get a lot of uniquely designed icons with this theme, and such care and attention to detail is apparent with both Stock, Appstore and Cydia icons, it's wonderful that this theme is so full of character and detail and it's free. This is a stunning theme and be sure to check the screenshots below and if you really like it consider donating to @ulysseleviet.

Gliese

Today I bring you the beautiful Gliese by @Cjmanning, and yet again Cj has delivered us another instant classic. When you look at it on your springboard you will see some hints of T1tan inspiration, and why not, T1tan was a big theme and instant hit in the Jailbreak community. Gliese has been painstakingly designed, each icon is a delight to look at, superb detail in each one, from the stock icons to both Appstore apps and Cydia apps. Inside Winterboard you will find plenty of elements to choose from, everything from respring logos right down to some brilliant and funny Tweetbot icons, and not forgetting Iconomatic themes, which let's face it "everyone should have Iconomatic installed", as it makes the icons come alive again. Gliese manages to mix serious designing with fun, I was and still am a massive fan of T1tan as I now am of Gliese, this theme goes to show that you can still have fun with designing themes and that you can create smooth yet brilliantly designed icons which are just a pleasure to look at. Yet again Cj has released a classic theme that we will all remember. It's available in Cydia now for iPhones, go get it, your eyes will thank you for giving them such beauty to look at.

3 4 ALL

I thought I'd give this theme a review as it's not often that you come across such a nice theme for free. 3 4 All is made by @Sk37cHi, this is the second icon set/theme he has brought us to date, the first was 4 You 2 which coincidentally was free also. It's a beautiful set up, the icons are lovely and made and designed so well, the thing I love about this theme (I call it a theme due to some UI elements themed) is that is doesn't try to be serious, it's fun and you can see the fun Luke had in designing the icons, they are a joy to look at it and each time you look you'll notice another beautifully yet fun designed icon. This "FREE" theme is updated regularly bringing new icons and when Iconomatic came out it was updated to give us a iconomatic theme. This theme is available on iPads and iPhones and it is a theme I have stored on all my iDevices (even my fiancĂ©e likes it on her iPad) at all times so I can just flick it on when I feel like I need to smile, and that's what this theme does in bundles, makes you feel happy. It's superb and if you like consider donating to Luke. Go get it guys, it's free and fun, 2 words that don't often get put together. Check out the screenshots below.  
 

Avanti.

Avanti is the latest creation from ZFrost (@arctickcreations), and it's a stunner, so beautiful and clean. It comes with Normal, Glass and Black icon options, as well as iconomatic shadows and overlays. Avanti is some what different in design to what we've seen from ZFrost in the past, it's very minimalistic yet beautifully detailed, it's got such a clean feel and look to it. One of the things I love is the logo, it's striking, it grabs your eyeballs and draws you to it. The design is yet again not overdone but beautifully created and very minimal. The logo has been incorporated into the wallpapers and a delightful respring logo. There is also some UI elements that have been themed. With plenty of options you can still add your own touch to your iPhone with this theme with different elements inside Winterboard. It's a step in a different direction from previous themes like 0dyssey and 0-Hour to name a few. I was lucky enough to jump on the beta repo which was also majorly supported by @MamaJaay. Check out the screenshots below and go grab your copy from Cydia.

AvrilHD

Early yesterday morning we saw the release of AvrilHD by iHaz3 on all formats, and at first look you'll see that Daniel has strayed to far away from his dark theme making, the effect you can see on the icons kind of gives you and old antique feel to it but at the same time keeps the dark feel that we come to expect from Daniel. We've seen 2 themes from Daniel in the same amount of weeks, it makes you wonder if he sleeps at all. As always there is plenty of elements to choose inside Winterboard, 5 colours for badges, 2 docks 4 shadows a jellylock theme and a WhatsApp theme, so there is plenty of customisation still to be had. Avril-HD is named after one Daniels daughters which is a nice gesture and also why this theme and Nova-HD are very special to him. The texture and look of the icons is a delight on the eyes and I for one love the look it gives me on my iPhone and iPad, I think this theme has reminded us all just what iHaz3 can do, and what he does best. Also included in the package are 2 ColourKeyboard themes as well and a bitesms theme and wallpapers both light and dark and also some UI is themed and also the statusbar is themed too. I think we will all agree that this is some of his best work. The theme is compatible on all formats iPhone/iPod/iPad and iPad mini, so you'll be able to use it on all your devices which is a real nice touch, it gives you a sense of value for money. This theme is definitely my favourite theme from Daniel and I look forward to many more. Check out the screen shots below and I guarantee you'll fall in love with it.
