Matte Nano Theme

Matte Nano combines the simplicity of small-icons with bright colors to create a theme that proves to be a stunning combination. Along with its matte finish and extensive icon collection, this theme is a sure classic.

The Matte Nano theme contains over 3000 icons for App Store and jailbroken applications. The theme also contains extra matte UI changes, a wallpaper, and that were not included in the original release of Matte Nano. The theme also has icon overlays that will theme any App Store icons that were not changed by the theme.

How to Install this Theme
  1. Make sure you are jailbroken. (How do I do that?) And that you are on or at an above firmware of 3.0. (How do I check?)
  2. Make sure you have downloaded Winterboard from Cydia.
  3. Download the package by clicking this.


  4. Decompress the theme, place the folder (the folder name should end with .theme) into /private/var/stash/Themes.xxxxxx/
  5. Open Winterboard, drag the theme to the very top and tap on it to give it a check mark.
  6. Press your home button and let your device respring.

Sentinel 2

Okay, we have a plot line: Our Mars colony is toast and the aliens who destroyed it are headed for the Home World. You are captain of a drop ship that has been armed with some advanced weaponry to fend off the enemy hoards. What's a drop ship? Apparently, a ship that has been dropped on a beach and probably without a parachute because it can't fly. At least, I haven't been able to get it to lift off and I'm a pretty damn good Captain. So, what we have here is a tower defense game: two groups of towers, each connected by a grounded iron gate, that I can fortify to contain the Alien Menace. I also have a budget to do this. Sentinel 2 is a little like managerial accounting.

So, let's play! The battleground consists of a wharf attached to a desert isle with a few palms here and there. A deeply-dug trench forms a path angling along the shore, leading to the first gate. The first wave of invaders seems to be a hoard of giant cockroaches that swarm along the pathway and storm the gate. No problem: the gate is charged and it dispatches them like a bug zapper. Then, a bunch of soldiers dressed in WWII GI fatigues tries our defenses and we find that the bug zapper works on humanoids just as well as it does on insects. More cockroaches; more soldiers. After the third or fourth wave of soldiers, the gate is beginning to show some damage. The aliens have wised up and stopped sending the roaches. The next wave of soldiers smashes their way through the first gate. They damage the second. Again with the roaches! We know how this is gonna turn out, right? Gate 50 Roaches 0. Finally, soldiers break through the second gate and the game ends. I was able to get some missiles fired by tapping a lot of icons, and sometimes the ship glows a littler brighter but it NEVER moves.

That was the “campaign” setting. There is also a mission: to fend off a powerful warrior using limited resources. The warrior approaches. This guy is worth the price of the game. He has long legs, a slow, cowpoke swagger and an elongated chitinous skull. If John Wayne mated with the Alien, the kid would look like this when it grew up. But that's not all: he is carrying a glowing green hammer and he farts lightning! Any objective analysis would predict the early demise of this lone cosmic thug, but there is something about that walk. Our worst fears are realized: He smashes through the first gate in short order, farts a few sparks to celebrate, then assaults the second one. Here, he takes several direct missile hits but they serve only to fuel his rage. The gate comes down and the Alien Duke walks on. GAME OVER.

The hard core gamers will have fun with this one. For me, the learning curve is way too steep. Great graphics and probably one of the coolest aliens in gamedom.
