Lockscreen: LockMS - Rough Draft Release

[celticpride678]

Thank you so much for posting this. Here's mine, after a few modifications to the LockBackground.html file and the 2010/2011/2012.png files:

Could you post a link to that wallpaper?

The black background is held in the file Background.png in the Private folder.

I tried to change the background.png and also the background.jpg and both don't seem to change the background. Still looks the same. I changed it with another image still black background. Am I doing something wrong?

And here's a zip file containing the modified 2010/2011/2012 PNG files. They're originally on black backgrounds, but I put them on transparent backgrounds so that they look good on non-black wallpapers.

Are you sure you're in the "Private" folder?

Thanks!

Yes I am in the private folder. I changed the background.png to another image. Still loads black on iphone4.

Thanks! Anyway to move it to top?

Here's the requested version with it moved to the top. I tweaked a few of the heights and sizes to allow those of you using LockInfo the ability to still have it on the bottom, and not cover much up:

DOWNLOAD HERE: LockMS-TOP.theme.zip

Open the LockBackground.html file. Look about 12 lines down from the top, and make sure that the line that starts with "background-image" is not commented out. If you see "<!--" before the words "background-image" and "-->" at the end of the line, it's commented out, and therefore your image will never show. Remove those characters from the beginning and end of the line, save, and it should work.

can you show emails instead of todo?

also, do i need lockinfo to make this work?

That's a LockInfo setting.

You need it to get the weather and to-do list.

Oops again, thanks for catching that! I've updated the original .theme files in first post to reflect the changes...

Thanks A LOT for the top one. Looks great on my iP4!

Why is the dimension of the included Background.png 348x576? Shouldn't it be 640x960 for iPhone 4 users?

Ya after installing both, your first design with the time on the bottom is best with lockinfo thanks

 

[joneildu]

I installed lcokscreen clock hide and even enabled clock hide in lock info. The damn lockscreen clock is still showing up after a respring/reboot.

 

[joneildu]

Eh, I've narrowed it down to showing up with the weather plugin. I don't see a toggle for clock in lockweather.

 

[reyno28]

Thanks Celticpride678. What I had to do was redownload it and rechange background.png and now it shows my image on my iphone. Thanks for the help!

My guess is that your using the Lock Weather plugin, which will always display the time with the weather. You need to go into LockInfo settings>Get More Plugins, and download Weather, which is the exact same thing, just without the clock.

Will download soon this looks awesome!

Any chance to get a lockinfo plugin version since I have lockinfo and didn't want to install winterboard if I can help it. There needs to be more plugins anyhow

I had the very same thought after I posted this. I emailed David Ashman, developer of LockInfo, to gain some knowledge around how to make a LI Plugin. As soon as I can figure it all out, I'll attempt a LI version of this theme, but it'll probably be a while.

I agree that there needs to be more plugins by now!

 

[D3lta]

Probably going to stick with this for a while.

 

[hackthatphone]

Nice theme.

I like this background. And honestly, I think it'd look even better if you had the date/time info at the top...

Ooo, could I get that wallpaper???

 

[Ryan1524]

I've done this before with my iPhone 2G, but right now, I can't drop anything into my Themes folder. It's saying I don't have the right permissions.

I'm logged in under root. wtf. Any advice?


edit: got it.

Amazing execution of community creativity. Thanks to all involved. []
