Themes with DreamBoard
Posted: July 14, 2011DreamBoard was released a few months ago and at the time was a for fee application. It is currently a free application. It was intended as a competitor to WinterBoard. It's touted as a quicker way to theme your iPhone with both graphic swapping and the ability to place widgets wherever you'd like.
There are only a handful of themes available, and the majority of those themes are for sale for just a couple dollars. To be honest, the DreamBoard method of theming isn't really an improvement on WinterBoard. For example, if you don't like the way a theme is programmed (for example specific applications having to be in specific locations on your screen) then you must reprogram the theme which can be tedious. Generally there are only a couple of program icons per screen so you can waste a lot of time swiping through pages to get to an application which you may not like. The alternatives range from having just one folder to contain all applications, or a couple folders to places icons in (which you may or may not be able to change the names to, or have display in a different order).
DreamBoard comes with an HTC Android theme called Endroid. It also supplies a custom lockscreen.
