Third party browsers cannot have their own engine and they can't use some of the Safari features. They can never be as fast and efficient as Safari. Because of this there is no point in using them unless you really like the looks. That was my point. It may seem like you can use other browsers but in reality you can't. 

What I mean by messaging application is the system messaging application. Skype or other things do not send SMS. Sometimes I use other messaging applications that have different features that stock messaging applications don't. That was my point, colors were just an example. If you try to make an application like this it says that you can't change the core system functionalities or something like that. I thought you can't change the music application too, but apparently you can. Again, my apologies there. 

There are various keyboard applications that have various features that stock keyboards don't. This video shows one of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B89NRAtnzo Skip to 0.33 or so. It doesn't show the features but it gives you an idea of how much customization you can do. There are other videos but they were too long I didn't watch them, sorry!

A lot of these things don't seem like high priority things when you don't use them, but they all add to the experience. I didn't even think I need a smartphone before buying one and now it is part of my body. You need to use them to appreciate them. 

I watched the link for keyboard applications, and it does seem nice to be able to do that kind of stuff, although I can not see myself using it. Thank you for providing the link.

I remember playing around with themes when I first started to use firefox, but it kind of wore off after a while for me. My wife on the other hand loves them and will change her theme according to the seasons or her moods. I guess that level of customization will appeal to some and not to others. That is why it is so nice to have options.



In the absence of evidence to the contrary, always assume you have the upper hand.
