Ask and ye shall receive. Our good friend Michael Clewley is back with some more OS goodies on his BBM Channel today, now with a look at what will be the OS 10.3 homescreen. Word on the street is that we'll be seeing plenty more in the way of OS 10.3 news from Michael's channel, so this is just the first of many peeks at the latest BlackBerry OS.
One gripe that BlackBerry 10 users had with the homescreen icons — that ugly boxed outline — will soon be no more. The new OS 10.3 homescreen icons are sporting a bit of a redesign and most notably, no more box.
A very welcome change that most users should be extremely happy with — a much cleaner look with more streamlined icons. Michael promises mroe to come on 10.3, so be sure to follow his BBM Channel at C00014277 for the latest updates.

At this point, you'll have to load the files manually but for anyone familiar with leaks, that shouldn't be an issue. Worst case, you can hang around...
How to access Quick Settings using BlackBerry 10.3
You may well be thinking we are stating the obvious with this post as 'Quick Settings' are certainly not new to BlackBerry 10 and without any apps open you can still perform a downwards swipe from the top bezel. Where BlackBerry have implemented something new in OS 10.3 is that you can now access the Quick Settings from within any application - something I've wanted for a long time...
