Hello all. It's been a while and I've been so busy I haven't gotten around to mucking with iPhone stuff. Now I am.
I've just gotten around to upgrading my phone to 4.3.3 and have found the need to update my little theme here.
My support email on the Cydia package has been seeing a steady stream of support request emails. I have been putting them off, but I think it is time I address them. I am planning the next revision 1.5.5. Mainly to resolve various bugs and functionalities.(reads: patch broken holes.) Maybe with a few new features thrown into the mix.
I need your help.
I have done a few searches on google and forums for a complete list of the image mappings of the images that you can alter in the TelephonyUI bundle, but came up with barely any information. I'm wondering if anyone of you know or have seen a complete listing of images that we can alter via the TelephonyUI bundle. I'm looking for essentially two lists. One that supports the iPhone 3GS and the other to support the iPhone 4.
If I have a complete list/mapping of the images, I will recreate these elements and include them into the theme. This will fix all your random image woes.
PS: I do not promise anything feature wise... but if you have any ideas you want seen included in the theme, please describe it here and I may consider adding it. No promises.

Hello Claude. First I would like to say that I love this theme! The only change I would like to see is improved performance. Right now even on my iP4 everything just slows down when using your theme.
If that's all that changes in this update I will be more than happy. Otherwise maybe have an option to make the status bar clear only on the LS. Right now I'm using a tweak to make it clear but it also affects the caller ID when I receive a call and other things...
And maybe find a way to make the LS clock update continuously as opposed to now when it updates every 10min when the screen is off.
Thanks again!

Where does it save the data after i press "set config"..
It worked until now, I dont know what happened i just restarted my iphone 4 on 4.3.3, till now every thing worked gr8, and i was a blank screen.
last time that happened a just entered the config file and set config again.

I tried so many things, through ifile i can go into the file, but the set config in there doesnt seem to work.
I tried reinstalling. rebooting. rehacking. re-everything i can think of.
I must get it to work again.

I've just found out that is I run the LockBackGround.html with the Ifile after I configure the config.html file with ifile, it shows what my lockscreen should have shone.
i don't know what to do. please help.
And why when I'm tryin to open the config.html file on firefox/iexplorer, i get that same page i get in MobileSafari with "file///....": http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/827/erroril.jpg/
and still, with ifile it runs smooth, even the lockbackground.html runs well through Ifle. Wierd. I Need To "set config" for it to work, i copied a new SlantedLock onto my idevice, and up until i "set config" with ifile, the lockbackground.html didn't show a thing.
ty.
i've just got an error on MobileSafari "INVALID_STATE_ERR: DOM Exception 11: An attempt was made to use an object that is not, or is no longer, usable."
Dose that mean that the ifile has excess to files that the MobileSafari doesn't. Is it Fixable?

I've Just Found this:
"I've gotten this to work on a much simpler weather theme I've been messing around with on an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.0.1. The only minor issue I had was paths to external js/css files not being recognized when opening the html file in Safari. I just temporarily copied all the js into the html source to ensure the db was created successfully. After that, the regular theme was able to retrieve data from the db on the lock screen.
The steps involved might make the setup process too complicated for wide release, but I definitely think it's worth looking into. Your theme is great, but I don't like the continuous fetches to the weather feed whenever I unlock.
If you're interested, let me know if you'd want any more information."
In that:" http://modmyi.com/forums/iphone-2g-...active-weather-lockscreen-22.html#post5422758 "
does it have anything to do with my issue?
Thanks for your reply, actualy I've kindda figured that thats what you mention by that. And it didn't work
. I don't know what's the issue, I can't get it to work.
Ive found replacement for my lockscreen, but I'm curious about my problem.
Other themes works for me, just not SlantedLock.
Claude, if you could please email me on f.shammu93@gmail.com, i am an avid user of your theme and have a few questions about the theme, i found no way to contact you except through this topic so if you could please pass me your email i would be greatful
Slanted Lockscreen Issue
Hello,
I found this wonderful LS yesterday, installed and customized per instructions. However, I have a strange black bar where the lock slides across. Does anyone have this same issue?
Here's a photo:

If anyone has had this issue or knows how to get rid of this black bar, PLEASE respond. It sounds silly but it's making me nuts trying to get rid of it!
Thanks in advance!

Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of a problem with leddhedd's Slantedlockipad installation on my iPad 2 4.3.3.
I unzipped the files and SSHed the folder "Slantedlockipad" (this was the default capitalization) and moved it into /Private/images.
From what I gather the only other thing I need to change in the Configs is the "Wallpaper Set" where I have to change it to the blank radio button and enter "Slantedlockipad" (again matching the capitalization of the folder).
With these changes, I don't get the iPad sized wallpapers but info shows up correctly.
I experimented with the "Style Sheet" entry in the Configs and noticed that if I changed it from the default "SlantedLock" to "SlantedLockiPad" or "Slantedlockipad", I would get the correct wallpaper sizes, but I would be missing all the weather/clock info.
I'm a bit lost as to what I've done wrong. Any help?
Thanks,
~Paik

Hey guys,
Firstly, I do apologize if I didn't get back to you... I'm quite busy with work and all that. This thread is meant for me to share what I got with you guys.
I recently got an iPad 2!
Finally able to test the theme on an iPad, I made the port for the iPad version. I tried figuring out the orientation detection script, but I guess the winterboard theme doesn't behave like a normal webpage, so we're stuck with themes unable to know which orientation its in... until someone else smarter figures it out.
In any case, I've made a few tweaks here and there and am satisfied with my result, so I'm going to share it with you guys.
Here's what I did:
- Removed the weather icon. This proves to be more trouble than it's worth. What with the inconsistency complaints and the time change(in the US) makes them inaccurate.
- Fixed the clock update delay
- Brighten LEDHEDD's set of background to my liking
- Created TWO layout options to best fit the iPad's display. This is to be used in the StyleSheet option in the configuration. One is call SlantedLockiPad and the other is SlantedLockiPad2
You can download the new theme package here:
SlantedLock iPad version 1.5.5p

I like using No Lockscreen on my iPad(with the magnetic cover you usually skip it anyway), but this makes me want to go back to seeing the LockScreen
Thanks for the kind words!
The background sizing and cropping is not controlled dynamically on orientation change in my theme.(or any theme as far as I know... even default official background)
The issue you raised is that the background are getting cut off at an undesirable width/height depending on the orientation of the iPad.
The short answer:
It depends on the background you choose. You will need to adjust the image using a photo editing software before use to achieve what you want.
The long answer:
The iPad screen is 1024x768(wxh) in Landscape mode and 768x1024 in Portrait mode.
Since there is no smart resizing or cropping of the background when orientation changes, the background must be 1024x1024 to support both orientations. This is why iPad backgrounds you can find on the internet are sized at 1024x1024.
The only region that is guarantee to appear on BOTH orientations is the 768x768 region at the top left of the wallpaper.
In fact, the challenge in building an iPad theme boils down to that fact as well. The effective playground for theme content must exist in that 768x768 window to be visible in both orientation. Thus, in landscape orientation, SlantedLock appears to be biased on the left side and it appears biased on the right side in portrait mode. Given this fact, we CAN have contents that is hidden in one orientation and visible in the other; just place the content OUTSIDE of the 768x768 box.
Trust me, this irks me to no end. I had attempted to detect orientation on the fly, but haven't found anything that works. If anyone knows of a theme that behaves like it knows which orientation its in, please point me that way.
I have been trying hard for the past few days to figure out how to get lockscreen images to display properly according to orientation (for another theme). I think I tried about 10 different variations of coding and could not get it to work. I am honestly glad I found this post as at least I now know it is not currently possible.
The closest I came was using javascript to display an image properly on the first view. It wouldn't change dynamically, but if I unlocked the iPad, changed orientations, locked it again, the image would line up properly based on the new orientation. Hopefully a solution can be found. The CSS coding to do this is so simple for a normal webpage.

I've got one befour your theme
install and try it...please
maybe you will found that way
and Revision edition your code
waiting for your good news and new version
thanx
That theme does not crop or resize the wallpaper.
The original thread of that theme is here: http://macthemes.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16809353
Notice the same wallpaper is cut off depending on the orientation of the iPad.
Sorry
That was my fault
I forgot the theme's name and I've already delete it several days ago
So last quote is not correct
anyway
I'll try to find out and tell you later
Hey Claude, great job on the iPad port, looks great
Do you plan on releasing 1.5.5 for iPhone/iPod Touch, fixing the bugs you did in the iPad version? eg. time delay, removing weather icon, etc.
Cheers
One of these days I will. I'm still trying to figure out a cool way to control the backgrounds. Though I've been really busy lately.
On a related note, the iPad version has been accepted to modmyi repository on Cydia, so you guys can get it there easier.
Thanks, I look forward to it!
Appreicate all the effort and time you've put into this, it's truly the best lockscreen theme I've ever seen, so thanks again for all the hard work you've done
