As you use your iPhone or iPad throughout the day, you’re likely to receive a number of bannernotificationsfrom various apps, whether they’re comprised of text messages coming from Apple’sMessagesapp, status updates coming fromFacebook, or activity alerts coming fromTwitter. One thing all these banner notifications have in common, despite coming from different apps, is that they’re particularly boring.
NotiFill & NotiFill Proare a newly released set of and free and paidjailbreak tweakby iOS developerrafferlithat aims to make banner notifications of all types more exciting to look at. It achieves this feat by giving banner notifications animated color fills that may look somewhat reminiscent of loading bars.
The animated GIF below provides the best example of NotiFill doing its part:
In one example, you see a banner notification from the Messages app filling from left to right with a green fill; while the other depicts a banner notification from the News app filling from left to right with an off-red fill.

Other than that, we think most jailbreakers may be able to get by with the free version.
Each of the tweaks add a dedicated preference pane to the Settings app where users can configure a number of options to their liking:
