BlurriedNCBackground Removes the Linen Background From Notification Center

BlurriedNCBackground is a tweak that removes the linen background from your Notification Center.

A simple tweak to remove the default NotificationCenter linen background and put a blurred screenshot instead.


Note that it will slow down the opening of the NotificationCenter due to the time required to blur the screenshot, until you enable the 'Asynchronous' option.

You can configure this tweak in the Settings app

You can install BlurriedNCBackground from the BigBoss Cydia repository.

I had this installed for about a week. It's very cool but but asynchronous mode is unsightly and the delay without it is unacceptable. This might be better on the iPad or 4S but not my iPhone 4.
