i really dont want to install winterboard just for this, but i have no choiceLOL! I don't know any other way to change the background without winterboard. I've tried replacing the files manually and they don't change. It is really strange.
I use winterboard now. The background I have displays fine since it's a plain image.
changing those two files does not change the background
i was messing around with those all of last night with no luck
and the reason why i don't want to use winterboard is because it conflicts with lockinfo
