Eliza gives the Status Bar’s battery icon a wider array of colors to use

Apple has used the same colors to depict battery states for as long as I can remember, and so it tends to be somewhat monotonous. Fortunately, a newly released and free jailbreak tweak dubbed Eliza by iOS developer WilsontheWolf provides the Status Bar’s battery icon with a wider range of colors to help it express your current battery state.
