If you’re looking for a way to spice up your iPhone or iPad’s native Home screen folder behavior, then there’s a fairly good chance that a newly released and free jailbreak tweak called Cartella by iOS developer burrit0z could be right up your alley.

– Hide the pages and dock in folders
– Hide the blur on the wallpaper in folders
– OLED folders (pure black background)
– Bold Titles (like Bolders)

– Align the title to the left, center, or right

– Resize the Grid preview of the folder icon
– Hide all SpringBoard labels
– Hide all SpringBoard page dots
– Custom colors of folder icon background
– Custom color of folder view background
