If you’re jailbroken and in the market for an exciting new way to customize your handset’s notification banner experience, then we have just the rightjailbreak tweakfor you!
Cucuis a new and free release by iOS developerXyamanthat offers a handful of intriguing new features for incomingnotificationbanners, and like most high-quality jailbreak tweaks, it’s fully configurable by the end user.
In the screenshot examples below, you’ll see that Cucu can put an aesthetically pleasing countdown timer on the right side of the notification banner itself that alerts users to how much longer it will be before the banner disappears:
Cucu also allows the user to choose the countdown timer duration, as well as colorize notification banners to their liking. The whole suite of options will be found in the tweak’s dedicated preference pane post-installation:
Options here include:
A respring will be required to save any changes you make with this tweak. Fortunately, simply turning the tweak off and on requires a respring to take effect, so it’s particularly easy to force a respring when you need it.
Since I’m not always staring at my iPhone’s screen when it’s on, having a visual timer reference as offered by Cucu can be an appealing feature. This is especially the case when playing away-from-keyboard games where I often turn my attention to other things around me and then happen to notice a notification on my screen when looking down. Your results may vary.
