It loads pages faster and the thumbnails are bigger. Overboard is set to the Home button by default, users can also make changes in the settings page if they don't like using their Home button. 2 thumbs up!

Thanks. I really should stop being lazy and modify some of the icons myself. Carol is a nice find. I like it. Thanks. I really should stop being lazy and modify some of the icons myself.

Most icons should blend well with either of these themes, saves users the trouble of finding matching icons.

It's one of the more complete themes out that doesn't hurt your eyes. The only reason I stopped running it is because in order for the theme to look good, the app icons on your Springboard need to match. I got tired of looking for icon replacements so I went back to the default theme. Regarding the other apps I run, here's a list:<ul> <li>Action Menu + Action Menu Plus</li> <li>Deep (theme) + Deep (HUD)</li> <li>GV Mobile</li> <li>Maps Enhancer</li> <li>Mobile Terminal</li> <li>Notifier</li> <li>PkgBackup</li> <li>Privacy</li> <li>Push Notifications SBSettings</li> <li>SBSettings</li> <li>SpotSMS</li> <li>Universal Search</li> <li>WeatherIcon</li> <li>Winterboard</li> <li>3G Unrestrictor</li> </ul> I used to run the Deep theme by ~ToffeeNut.

The Expose concept great but I didn't find it as useful as I thought it would be - only because the application icons were so small. SpringSorter was interesting. I liked the idea of moving my most used apps automatically to the front of the line. Surprisingly, after a week of use, I realized that the constant reshuffling of apps between pages only caused confusion. I tried Orbit for awhile.

It is a shame that Apple can't just fix a few of the issues so that there would be no reason to do so..
