Hi there. Winterboard is the manager of theming your phone. It's far more than a visual thing. For example, I usually get Star Trek themes. This makes customizations to not only the background and icons, which are totally visual, but also changes the keyboard click sound to that one they use in Star Trek when they use the computer or type in their pads. It changes the slide to unlock on the lock screen to Energize. It changes the 6 sms tones to specific Star Trek sounds. While it's true that you can add your own sms tones since iOS 5, this feature was long available since way before that feature, and is still widely used. That's just a little of what Winterboard does.

PS, from that list I just purchased the Pin program which intelligently disables your pin code. For example if you are charging your phone, or if you are on yown own wi-fi network. That way your phone doesn't have the security pin while you are at home if you want, but does when you are out and about.

Hope this helps.

Hi, this i will now delve into. I just wonder what is Winterboard exactly? I 
thought it was only for snazzing up the graphics a bit so what purpose does it 
have?

Hi all. As many of you know, I'm a fan of jailbreaking. If you don't care about 
jailbreaking, then this message isn't for you. If you are interested in 
jailbreaking your iDevice, then you can read about it by Googling for jailbreak 
iOS 6 evasion, or by reading other messages in this list or the list archives. 
At the end of this message is a link to a web site which has the most 
recommended jailbreak tweaks and apps for your iDevice. I've tried many of 
these and most are very Voice Over friendly. For example, activator, SB 
Settings, and Springtomize are totally VO friendly. Winterboard has a flaw in 
that you can't tell which theme is selected. When you double tap on a theme, VO 
doesn't say selected or not. So, it's guess work and remembering which theme 
you enabled since you can enable multiple themes at once. I usually only have 1 
at a time for most things, so it's no issue. I've written to the Winterboard 
developer to see if he can fix this. In any case. Check this out, and find
out some of the cool things you can do with your jailbroken iPhone. Remember 
that jailbreaking isn't for everyone. Remember that it's not illegal. Remember 
that jailbreaking isn't the same thing as unlocking. And most importantly, 
remember that jailbreaking won't make you go blind or send you to hell.

The link is below.
