Step 1: Finding Your Perfect Aesthetic 🎨

Let’s start by gathering some images for your theme. I’ve curated a few for you! Here’s how to download them:

    1    Click on this Canva link to use the icon set I made (https://www.canva.com/design/DAGQ3F61QDY/ycO4mNu9qnC69uVMXsIEIQ/edit?utm_content=DAGQ3F61QDY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton).

    2    Once you're on the page, click the Download button in the top right corner.

    3    Choose the image format (I recommend PNG for the highest quality).

    4    Tap Download, and the images will be saved directly to your device's gallery.

Now you have the perfect set of images to match your aesthetic!

Step 2: Customize Your Widgets with Widgetsmith

I love using Widgetsmith for adding aesthetic widgets! Here’s how you can do it:

    1    Open Widgetsmith and tap Add Small/Medium/Large Widget (depending on your preference).

    2    Choose the widget style (photo, date, weather, etc.).

    3    Click on "Photo" and select one of the images you just downloaded from Canva.

    4    Customize the widget’s color, font, and style to match your theme.

    5    Add it to your home screen by long-pressing your home screen, tapping the “+” icon, and selecting Widgetsmithfrom the list.

Step 3: Change Your App Icons with Shortcuts

Ready to take your home screen to the next level? Here’s how to change your app icons using the Shortcuts app:

    1    Open Shortcuts and tap the "+" icon to create a new shortcut.

    2    Tap "Add Action", and search for "Open App".

    3    Choose the app you want to change the icon for (e.g., Instagram, Notes).

    4    Tap the three dots in the upper-right corner and select "Add to Home Screen".

    5    Tap the icon next to the app’s name and choose “Choose Photo”.

    6    Select one of the Canva images you downloaded earlier to use as your new icon.

    7    Rename the app if you’d like (e.g., call Instagram “Inspo” or Notes “Brainstorm”).

Step 4: Finishing Touches 💖

Arrange your apps and widgets on the home screen in a way that makes you happy! I love playing around with the layout until it feels perfect. 🌟

There you have it! Now you’ve got a totally personalized iOS home screen that reflects your unique style. 🥳 I love how this makes my iPad feel truly mine. Try it out, and let me know your theme in the comments! 💬👇
