I would just like to know if there is an equivalent Cydia tweak that applies for iPads. I tried downloading FolderSwitcherColor which was free, changed the colour using Winterboard and the colour changed but it didn't stretch the length of the iPad's multitasking tray. So there were massive black bars on each side.
Just want to know if I missed a setting or if there's another tweak that I can download that does the same thing or if it's simply impossible.
Cheers - rocket!
(if it helps I've got an iPad 3 64gb Wifi running on 5.1.1 absenthe- or something)
All the tweak does is change the .png image for your folder and multitask bar backgrounds. Unfortunately, as you've discovered, the .png images are not big enough (or named properly) for the iPad. However, that's easily fixed if you have iFile (or something like iFunbox on your computer). So, to fix, here's what you do:
(1) Find an image that is 2048 x 2048. That is the size used/required by the retina iPad 3 (and yeah, it helped knowing what generation of iPad you have). Name that image "FolderSwitcherBG@2x~ipad.png" (and remember that the iPad is case-sensitive - upper or lowercase matters).
(2) Go into that theme folder (var/stash/Themes..../[whichever color you want to use]/Bundles/com.apple.springboard) and add the image. You can either delete the exisiting iPhone image or leave it - it won't matter.
(3) Then, in Winterboard, re-select that color theme and then respring. It should be fine and show your new image.
Do note that you can put any image into these theme folders. As long as it's the proper size and name, you can have any image you desire or can find.
In fact, this theme is merely a colorization of the stock Apple linen wallpaper. You could color it yourself and then put it into your theme. The image is located at: /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app. Using iFile, navigate to the file location (same name as I wrote earlier) and save it to your camera roll. Then, you can use an app or your computer to change the color to what you want. Once you've re-colored it, put it in that theme as I described above, respring and tada! You've got a new colored switcher.
Hope this helps. Holler back if you have more questions.

P.S. I've just re-read your question and noticed you are running iOS 5.1.1 on that iPad 3. So, your file name may be a bit different than the one on my iPad 3 running iOS 6. To ensure you've got the correct name, check in that CoreServices folder. The name will start with "FolderSwitcher" but it may end differently. You'll still do the same process - you just have to make sure the name is correct (else it won't work).
)) to try it by onsies and twosies, but think of the satisfaction you'll have when you get it!
