As you can probably discern for yourself, this update brings a lot of new features that make Cowabunga even more powerful of a system customization app than before.

New options include new ways to customize the Status Bar, ways to hide low power alerts, ways to customize the colors of Control Center and Notification Center shadows and blurs, and more.

Since Cowabunga can be installed either via TrollStore or MacDirtyCow, it supports a wide range of firmware versions. TrollStore can perma-sign the app on iOS & iPadOS versions 14.0-15.4.1 (and some 15.5 and 15.6 betas), while the app can be alternatively sideloaded onto iOS 15.6-16.2.1 with tools like AltStore or Sideloadly where it can utilize the MacDirtyCow bug instead. Unlike TrollStore however, sideloaded apps aren’t perma-signed and need to be re-signed once every seven days.
