One of the biggest reasons we jailbreak our iPads and iPhones is to add and change themes. Apple locks down a lot of how we can personalize our devices, and while the stock look is easy on the eyes, sooner or later we may realize how boring it can be. Now, it doesn't have to be.

Check out how to jailbreak your iOS 7 device to get started, then open Cydia to search for and install WinterBoard.

WinterBoard is where most of your installed themes will be activated and is a necessary tweak to add after jailbreaking, especially for themers.
