Im Macroumors Forum tut sich etwas.
Diese beiden Beiträge machen Mut:
"For about a week I've been unsure whether to post this here purely out of not wanting to somehow be dishonorable in spilling what could be considered a private conversation, but about a week or so ago I emailed Vertex, and I'd just really not expected to hear anything back.
My take on it was that perhaps he was a guy who'd made his tweak for kicks, taken it as far as he wanted to, and it was old news to him... and frankly? Good for him. That would've been fine. In fact, at the time of writing, I didn't even know his nationality. I just kind of sent him a goodwill email.
I was somewhat surprised to get a reply so quickly, and it seemed apparent that he was in really good spirits.
Well, I don't want to start typing every word of his reply out of respect for a private (albeit very brief) conversation, but I think there are some things that it's perhaps fair to share:
For him personally, he's been busy, and he is busy. Such is life. That's really been the case for him. In particular, work. It's been taking up so much of his time.
What I really didn't expect was for him to very confidently suggest (without me having asked) that FolderIcons for iOS 6.x is "almost done" and the imminent schedule he gave me for the release (which I'd never even pushed him for) was a surprise to me, too.
Something I have to say here, is please don't shoot the messenger. This is purely what I've been told directly from the source himself. Things change. Priorities and concerns change for people. For my part, I'm really not trying to score points over the internet, I'm just passing on something that surprised me and made me happy, and I'd thought that perhaps it was a bit selfish to just sit on that info by myself.
Well, here's hoping this really does come about.
I'm not a fan of my home screen looking like little piles of scrapheaps as it does right now."
"Okay, so, I'm trying out the beta.
I won't go into the finer details of what's happening with it or what's great and what needs tweaking, but it's really looking good and working pretty well so far. A few things need to be ever-so-slightly ironed-out, but really so little. I feel bad because I'm being really blunt about everything and anything I pick up on. I'm pointing every single, tiny anomaly out. It really should be so good, though. Even now, it's great. I don't want to speak too soon... but it seems very well made.
It's really been made very simple as it is (yet perfectly functional and covers all you need), but even at this stage, just using it to do testing, I can honestly say my home screen looks infinitely better with what is currently only a very limited set of icons and icon backgrounds for the beta model. Clearly it just doesn't need hundreds of icons to choose from for a mere test of functionality, but honestly... even with these few, it actually makes that much of a difference. It's just very neat and clean looking. Obviously, I would expect people to go nuts with downloading their own icons from various sites once it goes live.
So, yes. It's on its way. It exists.
Sorry, not trying to be a smartarse or a bigshot with all the (vague) info. It's just, I'm heavily waiting on this too, so I really want this to work amazingly.
Okay, hope everybody's well."
