Ok problem #1 solved. I have it working. But i would like everything to fit on the screen. How exactly do i do that? I am not very good with photoshop. Also How to i get my own background again? thx

Check out my post #73 up above, it'll explain how to not have the time bleed off the edge of the screen, if that's what you're referring to. As for your wallpaper, just place any 640x960 PNG image file in the Private folder, and ensure that it is named Background.png. Then go back into Winterboard, un-check LockMS, re-check it again right away, exit out of WB, and wait for the respring.

Here's the code I used to make the clock fit the screen and align left.

Code:
<table style="position: absolute; top: -420px; left: 1px; width: 320px; height: 461px;" cellspacing="" cellpadding="" align="center">
<td height="40" border="0">
<img src="Private/dg8.gif" name="hr1" width="65" height="105" heigth="69"><img 
src="Private/dgb.gif" name="b1" width="2" heigth="69"><img 
src="Private/8.png" name="hr2" width="65" height="105" heigth="69"><img 
src="Private/dgc.gif" name="c" width="40" height="85" heigth="69"><img 
src="Private/8.png" name="mn1" width="65" height="105" heigth="69"><img 
src="Private/dgb.gif" name="b2" width="2" heigth="69"><img 
src="Private/8.png" name="mn2" width="65" height="105" heigth="69"></td>
</table>

That is a very cool background.png

Is there any way to make this whole theme without a background so your normal background shows through? Just the text...?

OP,

Thanks for the share and it is not just a contemporary theme but nice info shown - Well done!!!

2 questions...
1) No matter what I tried so far, I can't get my LockInfo such as email or any notification show up underneath your info. Any idea why?

2) Also, I have tap to unlock in my Winterboard and it works very nice with my LockInfo, hints I can hide the tap/invisible and just tap to unlock. After using your theme in Winterboard with the tap to unlock enable, it is not working. Is it because you hard code using the green arrow to unlock in your LockBackground.html? If so, can you let me know how I can remove them and use the tap to unlock in Winterboard?

Thanks again for the share!!!

Okay with some tinkering I've solved problem #2. I can now change my background. Final problem (hopefully) is aligning the text. I open the lockbackground.html and hit view source? I assume I add code from there? I've never re-arranged code. Thx in advance

First off, thank you a LOT for making this -- it looks great!

By any chance could you please add the ability for me to still use a Tap to Unlock type theme with this as well? Or maybe add a version where tap to unlock is available? I really, really love how this looks, but I still need my tap to unlock :p

Thanks

By request:

Tap to Unlock Edit: Download Here: LockMS-TTU.theme.zip
Tap anywhere on the month or lower to unlock!

This is another downside to the way iOS handles HTML lockscreens. Even with the background image removed, and no background color specified, it still sets it on a black background. The only way for you to customize your background with my theme is through the Background.png file...sorry

Don't be sorry, you are doing a great job. It may be cool to have some extra background1.png for people who aren't able to resize photos.

Here is mine. Still Haven't figured out how to align it so it all fits it'd be awesome if someone quickly explained specifically how to change it. Thanks very much to creator!

#1 If you're having trouble moving the actual location of LockInfo, then you need to make sure that you've gone into Settings>LockInfo>Lockscreen>Layout, and drag the position slider all the way to the right.

#2 I've had some trouble with creating a tap to unlock, and then using LockInfo's 'Hide Lock Slider' option, because it always reverts it back to an invisible slide to unlock slider. If you're looking to use my theme and have an invisible TTU, then I created this for ya, which should be all set to go, no other themes required: Download Here: LockMS-InvisiTTU.theme.zip

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks! You shouldn't need to resize anything, me latest update fixed that problem. Just dump any 960x640 PNG file into that Background.png spot and you're good to go. If you aren't able to convert it to a PNG, then put whatever image file into the /private/ directory in my theme, and change line 13 in LockBackground.html to the filename of your wallpaper. You should be good to go!
