Orion is one of the most comprehensive all-in-one jailbreak tweaks we’ve ever seen
When you jailbreak your iPhone or iPad, one of the first things you’re going to want to do is begin customizing some of the things you can’t usually customize out of the box. This can be done with jailbreak tweaks, which are small add-ons that change the behavior or appearance of your device’s operating system.
When you’re getting ready to tweak your device, you ultimately have two options: 1) download a plethora of single-purpose jailbreak tweaks to achieve your ideal setup; or 2) download an all-in-one jailbreak tweak that can do the same in one fell swoop.

More specifically, it colorizes the entire Status Bar with a transitional gradient color that transforms slowly over time as your handset’s battery discharges with use.
