Hey guys!
I don't know about everyone here but I think 7 is beautiful! I've always been a sucker for the stable framework and general polish of iOS, and now that they're adding pretty aesthetic consistency into that magic sauce I'm pretty much completely stoked.
I'm looking to make my iPhone a little more like 7 in the meantime (less gradients/gloss). I've decided to take pictures of all the little graphics that have been making iOS feel stale for quite some time now and decided to start a witch hunt to see how many of them I can take down. If anyone can shed any light on their own individual experiences with each, I'd be grateful. Cheers
(ps I will be updating this with the appropriate images as I discover them to help anyone else who wants to make their iOS 6 look more like 7)
Navigation Bar Gradient. How might I make every navigation bar just a flat color?
(edit) Through Googling I've discovered this is hard-coded and can only be changed per-app from a programming perspective.
Pinstripe Background... looking to replace with a solid color.
(edit) The pinstripe background is actually system\library\frameworks\UIKit.framework\Shared@2x.artwork\UITableViewTexture@2x.png.

In-Call Keypad 1... am looking to either axe the gloss or make the container completely transparent.
In-Call Keypad 2... am looking to either axe the gloss or make the container completely transparent.
In-Call Statusbar... hoping to just have a solid color and not have it 50/50.
App Icon Gloss
(edit) The icon gloss is actually 'hard coded' into the Stock apps (like App Store, Phone, Messages, Music) but for AppStore apps it is modifiable. It is located in System\Library\PrivateFrameworks\MobileIcons.framework. It is AppIconOverlay@2x~iphone.png. Most popular icon themes have it modified. Compare to them.
Notification Center App Category Background... aiming to remove it completely.
(edit) This file is System\Library\CoreServices\SpringBoard.app\BulletinListSectionHeader@2x.png
Notification Center notification separator... aiming to remove it completely.
