ColorMeBaddge: This Tweak Colorized Your Home Screen’s Notification Badges


On any stock installation of iOS, every one of your notification badges are going to be red and contain white-colored text that usually indicates the number of missed notifications in the app. To me, that seems a little boring, and a developer named midey seems to agree, as he's just released a new free jailbreak tweak called ColorMeBaddge.

With this tweak, you can colorize all of your Home screen's notification badges in pretty much any way you choose, but the best feature is being able to automatically colorize your notification badges based on the dominant color of the application icon in question.


ColorMeBaddge can do this for both application icons and folder icons, and it includes a variety of algorithms that you can choose from, all of which have a different styling and appearance when compared to one another.

Moreover, the tweak also has additional settings for changing up the color of the text inside of badges, colorizing badges that aren't typically numeric (such as those with "! signs in them, which can be colorized differently than the others to attract more attention), and more.

The tweak adds a preferences pane to the Settings app where you can configure the options to your liking


If you're interested in trying ColorMeBaddge, you can download it for free today from Cydia's BigBoss repository. The tweak works on jailbroken devices running iOS 8 through iOS 10.
