If you are a proud owner of an Apple iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, Cydia is something that you can’t afford to miss out on.

It is highly unlikely that you will ever come across someone who owns some Apple product, but has no idea as to what Cydia is. That being said, one aspect wherein people tend to get confused is between WinterBoard and Cydia themes, which are basically the same.

What are these themes?
They are basically simple software programs which facilitate theming of various Apple products with the iOS as their default operating system. Simply put, you can use these software programs to add themes to your Apple iPhone, Apple iPod touch, or Apple iPad, and give it the desired look.
Are these themes same as Cydia themes?
Basically, Cydia themes are referred to as WinterBoard themes owing to the fact that you require the WinterBoard app to activate them after they are downloaded.

In these sources, you will come across the list of themes organized in categories. You just have to tap on the ‘Install’ tab and it will get installed on your device.
Downloading the theme is half the task done; the next step would be to activate them.
