With the launch of a new tweak called Courier by iOS developer Sirius24, you can colorize several elements of the Messages app’s user interface just about any way you want. Some examples of the tweak at work are depicted in the screenshot samples above.

Niche uses aside, Apple doesn’t provide any way of customizing the Spotlight user interface on a stock device, but jailbreakers can now take advantage of a newly released jailbreak tweak dubbed Spotlightizer by iOS developer 1di4r to bypass this seemingly unnecessary restriction.
