Springtomize 3, one of the most eagerly awaited jailbreak tweaks for iOS 7 was released earlier today.There is a good reason why Springtomize by Filippo Bigarella has been so popular. It is the mother of all jailbreak tweaks that allows you to customize almost every aspect of iOS.

- Resize app switcher pages.

This section allows you to customize your iPhone’s dock. You can do the following:
- You can hide the iPhone dock
- Lets you make the background of the iPhone dock transparent.
- You can resize the icons in the iPhone dock, which can be handy if you want to add 5 icons to the iPhone dock.
- You can also give the cool coverflow effect to the dock as you can see below.
Folders:
Springtomize 3 lets you enhance iOS folders in a number of ways such as:
- Enables nested folders, so you can add a folder in a folder thus allowing you to reduce the clutter on your iPhone’s Home screen.
- You can enable the pinch to close gesture for folders.
- You can make the background of the folders transparent.

- You can also give the coverflow effect to the apps in the folder.
- It allows you to change the layout of icons on the Home screen. So you can increase the number of columns and rows (of icons). on the Home screen.
Icons:
- You can hide the recently updated badge on the Home screen.
- Lock the layout of the icons to prevent them from being moved.
- Disable the wiggling animation that occurs after long pressing the Home button.
- You can also prevent the apps from being uninstalled by disabling the uninstall option.
- Hide badges from all icons.

Pages:
It also lets you customize Home screen pages. So you can do things like:
- You can remove the dots for the Home screen pages just above the dock.
- You can disable Spotlight.
- You can resize the icons on the Home screen.
- You can hide labels for the icons. If you plan to give the Cover flow effect to the icons, then it may be a good idea to hide the labels.

Status Bar:
Springtomize allows you to customize the Status bar. So you can change the following:

- You can also replace the time that is displayed on the Status bar with a custom string.
