ClassicAlerts cures nostalgia for the alert notifications in iOS 8 and earlier
iOS tends to receive minor aesthetic changes, albeit not always, with Apple’s annual iteration releases every Fall.
One of the things that saw a facelift post-iOS 8 was the appearance of alert notifications, which adopted rounded corners upon dropping the previously squarer aesthetic.
How to make your Mac notifications stay longer or shorter on screen
While notifications and alerts on macOS can be useful, they can easily become distracting if they aren't important. A notification that slides in and slides out while you're working, can make you lose your focus. Apple did make some changes to Notifications in the latest macOS Big Sur update, but they can still be annoying at times. Some notifications will slide in and stay on the screen, and will only go away if you click on the close button.
What do you think of Windows 11?
Once upon a time, Microsoft had a plan to keep Windows 10 as the version of its desktop operating system. There would be plenty of updates after the initial launch, but 10 was the number to stick with from there on out.

Ensure iOS’ banner notifications aren’t blocking navigation bar buttons with miniBanner 14
Banner notifications are just one of the native components of iOS 14 that could do with some intuitive design changes by Apple. More specifically, I’ve long felt that they’re just a little bit too large, often covering up navigation bars in apps when they appear for the short time that they do.
Countless jailbreak tweak releases in the past have attempted to remedy this situation by putting notification banners on a diet – an effort to reduce their intrusive footprint over whatever interface you might be using. The latest of such releases is miniBanner 14 by iOS developer MissThee.
PowerWidget lets jailbreakers perform powerful power commands via an iOS 14 widget
One of the flagship features of iOS 14 was the ability to add widgets directly to the Home Screen alongside your app icons.
This is something that iPhone users have wanted to do for a very long time, and while Apple certainly did wonders to make it a reality, they also kept the number of native widgets to a minimum.
This jailbreak tweak lets users add empty space between app icons with invisible widgets
Jailbreakers, whether they use themes or not, tend to be of the mindset that device customization should be a human right. Apple seems to disagree; but I digress.
