Here at JailbreakCon, we’ve had the chance to see some pretty important people from the jailbreak scene talk about their experience. We just saw a talk from Joshua Tucker, who is responsible for designing some great tweaks on iOS. He demoed some new tweaks that he’s been working on, which are already available in Cydia.
One of the most impressive new tweaks is called emblem, which aims to rethink how notifications are handled on iPad. Instead of displaying in a small banner at the top, the notifications will slide down on the side of the screen, much like in OS X.
Because the iPad has so much more screen real estate, Emblem uses the available space much more efficiently, and can display more than one notification at a time. If too many notifications are displayed from one source, they are collapsed to save space. Emblem is available in Cydia now for just $1.99, so go check it out! Stay tuned, we should have a video demo of emblem straight from its designer soon!
