Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Is there a way to reduce the vividness of the icons in iOS7?

Do not know if it is my aging eyes or what but I cannot seem to focus when so many bright reds, blues, and greens are adjacent to each other. Is there a way to dial down the intensity of the colors (reduce the saturation)? Thank you in advance.

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

Hello cardstock,


You can adjust the brightness at any time using the Control Center in iOS 7:

You can access Control Center from anywhere in iOS—including the Lock screen. To access Control Center, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.To close Control Center, swipe down, tap the top of the screen, or press the Home button.

Additionally, you can adjust the text and contrast:

Large and bold text

Display larger text in alerts, and in apps such as Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Messages, and Notes.

Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Larger Type, where you can turn on Larger Dynamic Type and adjust the font size.

Display bolder text for all items on iPhone. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Bold Text.

Increase text contrast on difficult backgrounds when possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.


Those steps are from page 131 of the iPhone User Guide:
