    Hey guys,

    The two tweaks below are available from Cydia, you can get them now. The first one is called Five Icon Switcher, it's does exactly what it's called. The tweak enables 5 icons to be in the task switcher e.g

    [IMG]

    Nothing special, but ties in nicely with the FCSB.

    Secondly, you have Folder Closer, this also does exactly what it's called. Whenever you launch an app from within a folder, the app launches, then when you want to quit the app you press the home button... but you return to the open folder. This tweak shuts the folder on launching the app, hopefully you understand. I can't screenshot it, so no pics for that sorry ;)

    Hey thanks for the Screenies! I love hearing about brand new ios 4 tweaks, as there are not that many.
    The only way to really find out about is word of mouth; since Cydia does not have a "New Releases" or "Top 25".

    They are both incredibly useful tweaks.

    And yeah, how'd you get that badge, iphonewarrior?

    The badge on Simply Tweet? If it is, it's part of the Suave HD theme.

    Just as a warning, if you have Folder Closer installed and do an App Store update for an application within a folder, it takes it out of the folder. I'm uninstalling Folder Closer until that's fixed.

    I had some app store updates for apps within folders. I updated them after I installed Folder Closer and I did not have an issue at all. I also have Infinifolders though. The problem I have with that is if the last app I put into a folder is a jailbroken app, when I respring it gets bounced back out. However, if I put an app store app in a folder last it will not kick out my jailbroken app or the app store app. Annoying, but it works. I have my springboard down to one page. AWESOME.

    The suave theme is nice, but there are a lot of missing icons for my apps. So I am holding off for now. Don't have the time to go through the MacThemes thread and find all of the icons I need. I really want to get rid of the stock icons though. Just don't have time. Is there a weathericon theme for suave?

    I don't have Inifinifolders but I thought I saw a Changelog for Folder Closer that added support for that.

    At any rate, the stock folders seem to have that problem. For me at least.

    i believe it is a problem with Infinifolders, i have the same issue (have had it since i installed Infinifolders). but i just put it back, since it is only a few at a time... its not a huge deal, i would rather be able to lessen the amount of folders i have.

    also there has been an update to Five Icon Switcher. it allows you to add up to 10 icons to the icon switcher thru the settings app:

    it gets a bit messy with 10, but...

    I've had a play with this already, it looks far to busy for me and doesn't look at all right. Having six icons down there is the maximum for me.

    Five icons is good for me! Even they look a bit squished.

    I prefer five as well. An option to smoothly scroll through the switcher would be cool, as opposed to the paging through five at a time. Might as well make it loop back to the beginning too instead of just coming to a dead end. I suppose I'm preaching to the choir though...
