Hacker Creates the Ultimate Theme, Makes iOS Look Like OS X Lion
Do you happen to be one of those people that really love Mac OS X Lion? Or perhaps, on the other end of the spectrum, you feel Lion's a bit too much like iOS? Well, now it's more than just similar, because if you happen to have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you can now make sure that Lion never leaves your side, with a bit of clever hacking.
Hacker Timothy Elliot wasn't satisfied with the themes available for jailbroken iPhones, so he created his own. His theme, dubbed Ultimatum, mimics the OS X Lion desktop, and it works with almost any iOS device. This isn't actually Lion, of course, and while it looks almost identical to the real thing, it's been slightly scaled down to fit properly on an iPhone's screen. He created the hack due to Cydia's lack of good quality themes for the iPhone, naming his creation the Ultimatum theme.
According to his forum post on Modmyi, he designed every image in Photoshop. The theme has everything you would expect from a decent OS X replica--a working dock and Finder menu, draggable windows, and real iOS-OSX crossover touches, such as a Launchpad and stacks for your iPhone apps. You can also bring up the phone's status bar with a tap of the "Spotlight" magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner.
