Saurik has updated WinterBoard to be compatible with iOS 5.

WinterBoard provides hooks that let graphics artists safely and simply theme almost anything in Apple’s OS, including third party software downloaded from App Store. Multiple theme packages can be installed at once using the configuration interface: simply drag themes into a priority order.
