If you all recall back in iOS 6, the tray-like layout was stock for multitasking. It was something we all got used to and it was available starting back on iOS 4.
iOS 7 brought a radical new change and made card-like layouts. Many loved it, some rather preferred the old layout. Well, no worries folks. With the help of the Jailbreak community anything can be done and is as we speak.
Introducing ClassicSwitcher. An upcoming Jailbreak tweak to bring back the tray-like iOS 6 mulitask look back to iOS 7, with extra goodies...
The following photos are screenshots of test devices running ClassicSwitcher:
Just a nice tid-bit, it also works with themes!
The developer is a man by the name of Thomas Finch. I'll be frank and say that I have not seen any of his tweaks in the past, simply because I havent seen his name sprout too much. Go ahead and give him a follow, as he is a really kind and intelligent developer.
Tell him Jailbreak/iPhone News sent you, haha! Anyways,
Thomas did a wonderful job on this tweak.
Here is the settings panels for the tweak:
The photo below is the rows feature in action (2 rows)
As you can see, as a beta already ClassicSwitcher offers a variety of options.
One really neat feature that stuck out to me was the "Kill All" switch. This switch, which comes in handy when you swipe to the right of the switcher, shows a 'X' symbol in which if you swipe far in enough, will kill all the apps in a single swipe.
Here is how the kill all button looks like:
Of course, we will let you know when it hits Cydia.
No ETA as of now.
From my testing, this tweak is well worth the money. It is only 0.99$!
