WinterBoard Yesterday iSpazio added a ton of SMS mods in Cydia. So, I spent some time (ok, WAY too much time) installing and taking screenshots of them all. Until now there were only a few SMS bubble mods but, now there are quite a few you can choose from. So, take a look below and see if there are any you like.

Also, if for some reason you like the SMS bubble colors but you do not like the wallpaper, you can easily change the wallpaper via SSH. The SMS mods folders are located in the – /Library/Themes folder. Once you are in the Themes folder, you can find the folder with the title of the SMS mod (ex; BirdSMS) and select it. Inside the BirdSMS folder there will be an SMSBackground.png. You can then replace that file with the wallpaper you would like to have instead. Just make sure the file is spelled and capitalized exactly the same as SMSBackground.png.

    I only tried one of these when they first came out (one of the Mario ones), and I’m not sure if the others have this issue… When I got an SMS with a link in it, the border around the bubble was black, but only for that single text.

    Otherwise, I really like the looks of some of them. Thanks for getting screenshots of them all in 1 place!

    Yes, all of them have this issue. Any sms bubble with a link in it will have the black or gray background. I don’t know if it’s the arrow that appears next to the bubble or something else. I want to know how to fix it!

    The Mario ones look pretty good (be it I’m probably biased growing up with Mario), but the others are just WAY too busy. The colors are cool, but I think the backgrounds need to be less of an eye soar. When I’m reading my texts, I don’t want to be constantly distracted by the background. Something more subtle or even faded out some would be a lot better.

    Nice to have options, though.

    if you really want the background to be more subtle you can SSH into the /Library/Themes/”SMS theme” and extract the background image, darken it in photoshop or any other photo editing program, and SSH it right back into the same place…just a suggestion.

    These don’t work for me… I disabled everything in Winterboard and they still didn’t work… until I disabled Intelliscreen… Its’ the weirdest thing. With Intelliscreen enabled, they don’t work, when I disable it, they work… Anyone else have this problem?

    Meme problemes, quelqu’un aurait une solution ?

  20. Shikoro on October 2nd, 2009 11:52 am:

    installed BlackSMS, and it’s working. Well, kinda… when you view in portrait mode, everything is cool, but as soon as you turn the phone and try to view SMS conversations in landscape mode, the background picture only covers half of the screen, other half stays white (original iPhone background).
