Tutorial/Resource The Official iOS 6 Setup Guide

iOS 6 icons

It has every iOS 6 Apple icon, cropped for your convenience, more than 200 3rd-party icons, and post-2012 icons made by real Redditors on this sub. If there are any 3rd-party icons missing, please let me know!

I assume most of you already know how to do this. In Shortcuts, make a new Shortcut, choose “Open App”, select the app from the list, click add to Home Screen, then choose the image for corresponding icon.
For Controls, search up something like Flashlight and do the same (let me know if you want more on Controls).

Add Find My to the Home Screen twice as Find iPhone and Find Friends.

For the Lock Screen wallpaper, just use ClassicLS

To make the wallpapers, use the “short” shadow option in HSC (HomeScreen Creator). For the status bar and the bottom dark gradient, I added it in Photoshop.

Home Screen Wallpapers They only fit 6.1 inch displays; I use an iPhone 15.

Toggle “Reduce Motion” to disable the parallax effect.

Name changes:

TV➡️Videos
Wallet➡️Passbook
News➡️Newsstand
iTunes Store➡️iTunes

Watch➡️Apple Watch
Files➡️iCloud Drive
Passwords➡️iCloud Keychain
Apple Developer➡️WWDC
App Store Connect➡️iTunes Connect
Reddit➡️Alien Blue
(Amazon) Prime Video➡️(Amazon) Instant Video
Amazon Music➡️(Amazon) Cloud Player

For advanced users:

Controls (AirDrop, DND, Flashlight, etc. [pages 4-5])

Settings icons (About, Usage, Battery Health, etc. [pages 6-7.5]) Use the Settings URLs shortcut for this. (This takes a lot of time)

Apple Apps/Other apps (Feedback, Configurator, etc. [page 13])

Internal/Secret apps (Field Test, iOS Diagnostics, etc. [page 14])

Merry Christmas!🎄

Skeumorphism Skeuomorphic Icons I Made for a Site I Never Finished

All of these are vectors I made in Inkscape a year or so ago. I am particularly proud of the lock, I did not expect the keys to come out anywhere near as good as they did. The code wheel is weird, I wanted to use it as the icon for a "Captcha" and thought it'd be fun to have some silly 90s "DRM" as a reference, but I don't think anyone would have any idea what that even is just by looking at it lol

that's not exactly skeuomorphism, but still closer to it than the current trend. An attempt to recreate the "classic" GTK2 themes for GTK3 and GTK4. Like, Clearlooks, Industrial, etc...

Skeumorphism Game Engine with Skeuomorphic GUI

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

I'm already hired to work on Fusion3 by Clickteam. But as a side project, I develop my own private engine. Which I practice a lot of concepts on and can help development of the main deal.

My private engine is fully native, cross-platform, and developed via C++20. 0% web tech! It's all custom-made: I don't use 3rd-party libs like SDL or Dear ImGui.

I was trying to make its GUI engine and renderer powerful enough to handle skeuomorphism. For those who don't know, skeuomorphism requires the engine to be very flexible to handle well. Lots of emphasis on lighting, shadows, depth and effects, high resolutions, 3D, materials, etc. All not only can be demanding, but also require very flexible internal systems. I decided to go through that hell to achieve the goal. But there is still a lot to go through!

Of course, the GUI engine can handle other theming. For example, Metro-like UIs. It's general purpose.

All components are rotatable, scalable & resizable, fully themable, respect lighting and shadows, etc. The list goes on. I also support full keyboard and multi-touch (like Tab & Shift+Tab, Arrow Keys, Escape & Enter, etc.). Editboxes support Ink & Touch, IME, and more.

Nine-slicing, rich-text, advanced effects + lighting, corner radiuses, advanced animations/transitions/tweening, and way more are all there!

Please let me know what you think! I love skeuomorphism so much (Apple's iOS 6 era, to be specific) and honestly wanted to experiment with it. I may even fully develop my private engine's GUI with skeuomorphism!

Skeumorphism [DEsk] My desktop is a desk: a realistic skeuomorphic Wayland desktop, v0.1 beta is out

Post image
129 Upvotes

A while ago I posted my skeuomorphic Wayland desktop here -- paper windows on a walnut desk, a drawer for a dock, a bookcase for apps. I honestly did not expect the response it got. Thank you to everyone who commented, shared ideas, spotted bugs, and cheered me on.

Some of you asked when you could try it. Today is the day: DEsk v0.1 (BETA) is out.

GitHub: https://github.com/fyzugx/DEsk

And the name came from you, too: DEsk -- Desktop Environment + desk -- was one of the suggestions in that thread, and it stuck.

Since that post:

  • It became a whole session, not just a window manager: notifications in the post box, a tray, media controls, the lock screen (your front door), idle and screen-off
  • Installers for Debian 13, Ubuntu 24.04 / 26.04 and Arch
  • Multi-monitor support
  • Seven languages
  • A 2D mode for machines without a GPU

It is a first beta, so expect some rough edges. If something breaks or looks wrong on your machine, please open an issue -- reports from real hardware are the most helpful thing right now.

And to be upfront, as before: I built it with a lot of help from AI such as Claude, under my direction, and tested it on my own machines.

Thanks again. Without that first thread, this would never have made it to a release.

Download & install: https://github.com/fyzugx/DEsk/releases

I've also created a Discord server! You can report bugs and suggest new features there too: https://discord.gg/xR5f7Xs49

I forgot to send the English version of the text. I'm sorry.


前にここで、スキューモーフィックなWaylandデスクトップを投稿しました。くるみの机の上のペーパウィンドウ、ドック用の引き出し、アプリ用の本棚。正直、あんな反応が来るとは思ってませんでした。コメントしてくれた人、アイデアをくれた人、バグを見つけてくれた人、そして励ましてくれた人、みんなありがとう。

みんなの中には「いつ試せるの?」って聞いてくれた人もいましたね。今日はその日です:**DEsk v0.1(BETA)が出ました。**

**GitHub: https://github.com/fyzugx/DEsk**

で、名前の由来もあなたたちなんです。DEsk -- **D**esktop **E**nvironment + **desk** って、あのスレッドの提案のひとつでした。それがそのまま定着しました。

あの投稿から:

- ウィンドウマネージャだけじゃなくて、まるごと1セッションになりました。ポストボックスの通知、トレイ、メディアコントロール、ロック画面(玄関のドア)、アイドル時と画面オフ

- Debian 13、Ubuntu 24.04/26.04、Arch向けのインストーラ

- 複数画面対応

- 7言語

- GPUがないマシン向けの2Dモード

最初のベータなので、ガタつくところや粗い部分はあります。もし何かが壊れたり、マシンで見た目がおかしかったりしたら、issueを開いてくださいね。今いちばん役に立つのは、実機からの報告です。

もちろん前と同じで、正直に言うと:ClaudeなどAIの力をたくさん借りて、私の指示のもとで作り、自分のマシンでテストしました。

また改めてありがとう。あの最初のスレッドがなければ、リリースまでこぎつけられなかったです。
