How To Bring A New Look To Notification Banners And Today Widgets In iOS 10
If you want to bring a new look to notification banners and Today widgets on your iOS 10 device then you should definitely download a new jailbreak tweak known as Modern. This tweak change the banner notifications look throughout iOS 10, whether you’re in an app, on the Lock screen, or in Notification Center.
Look on the image example below you can see that the effects of Modern are noticeable and look quite nice. The tweak doesn't change the size of banners. It means that they still take up the same amount of space after installation as they did before. However, the sleeker UI now gives the optical illusion that banner notifications are smaller and it make the whole interface look better.
Modern also brings some changes to your Today widgets appearance on the Home screen’s left-most page, in Notification Center and on the Lock screen:
Modern tweak is available for download from Cydia for $1.00. The tweak works fine only with jailbroken iOS 10 devices. Modern comes with a preferences pane that allows you to customize banner notification look and behavior:
The tweak allows you to enable it for widgets and alert banners separately, change the app icon size on the banner, turn on/off shadows, replace the ‘No Notifications’ label with any text of your choice and change the color of notification header text to black or white.
Respring your device is necessary in order to apply and save your changes. So hit a respring button that is included inside of the preferences pane to bring a new look to notification banners and Today widgets on your iOS 10 device.
It should be mentioned that Modern is compatible with other notification UI-enhancing jailbreak tweaks such as ColorBanners and Noctis, so you are free to play with your notification aesthetics using all these tweaks.
