Settings Boy 3.0.0.0
Settings Boy is one of the specialized tools that were designed particularly for this purpose and it provides a simple way of pinning commonly used shortcuts for certain system areas.
Clean and crisp GUI
The application greets you with a pretty GUI that features some carefully designed graphics that are consistent from end to end. The carefully drawn tiles that are at your disposal are kept inside the main screen, so you can view and use them effortlessly.
The arrangement of these shortcuts is pretty neat and some of them are able to report the status of the corresponding system function and to provide some extra details.
Customize the app's look on the spot
A great thing about Settings Boy is the quick personalization ability it puts at your fingertips, so you can modify the application's appearance in no time.
The utility supports two themes, a dark and a light one, while for the accent color it offers you a nice assortment of hues. You can pick the one you like from the dedicated area that is accessible by tapping the color button from the main menu hosted in the lower part of the screen.
Pin system tiles and view battery details
This application comes with one of the simplest ways of operation, so basically, you can open directly the Airplane Mode, WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular + SIM, Location Services, and Screen Rotation settings or pin their corresponding shortcuts to the Start screen.
If the wireless or cellular data connections are active, you will see this info displayed on the tile inside Settings Boy, but not on the ones on the Start screen. Also, the pinned tiles support only small and medium size.
A neat addition is the tile that once tapped opens both WiFi and Cellular + SIM sections, while another handy helper is the battery status shortcut. This latter mentioned tile allows you to see the current charge level and the estimated remaining time on battery.
It is important to note that only handsets with Windows Phone 8 Update 3 or GDR 3 support having inside this app the Battery Saver and Orientation Lock tiles.
