Like the description overlay. How did you do that?

Go in the LockBackground.html file and edit the following. You will need to scroll down to find the "#desc". You can play around with it to adjust whatever you want.




#desc{


position:absolute;
float: right;
left:240px;
top: 187;
Z-index:2;
font-size:12px;
font-style:italic;
font-weight:bold;
color:#FFFFFF;
text-align:left

}

Wow! Looks good. It took me a second to see the seconds :) I was looking for some small numbers near the top.

Hey can you post your html page or the full code on where you got the weather text to show. I tried to do mine from your earlier post and it didnt work for me.

Thanks, and again great work!
 
Here is the link for my modded theme w/ the seconds.

Awesome...Could you quickly tell me what/where you had to cut in? All I need is the seconds code, everything else I'm happy with.

Nice work!

Update!: I was able to just make my changes to your code and I have what I want, EXCEPT, I'd like to get rid of the description on the weather icon. Where can I comment that out? Thanks!
 
Have you tried using your zip code for the locale? I think you have to surround it with double quotes too (").

The two lines should look like these.

var locale = "92679";

var source = 'yahooWeather';

In order to get "real feel" to work, I kept playing with the appleAccuweather stolen until I found the right locale code to work. I brought up the accuweather mobile site and figured out what I needed was '|US|TX|Flower+Mound|'. Not very intuitive, but now I get real feel!

Thanks for all your help. Next I'm trying to get the seconds to work as modded by another on this thread later on!

The seconds code was in parts I added throughout the file. It won't be easy to show you exactly where. But look for the following code.

dsc = d.getSeconds();



dsc = ( dsc < 10 ? "0" : "" ) + dsc;


document.getElementbyId('secbox').innerHTML = dsc;

div#secbox "copy this whole section"

<div id="secbox">
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- start
dotime();
//end -->
</script>
</div>

I figured as much, so I just took your code and made my minor changes. See my question above regarding the description over the weather icon??

Here's where I am now with seconds added...

I still can't figure out how to put the original theme into my iPhone. Since I couldn't SSH into my iPhone, I emailed the theme to myself, using attachment saver, I saved the file in both of those directories:

/Library/Themes
/private/var/stash/Themes

But it's still not showing up on Winterboard. What am I doing wrong?

Scroll down and look for

#desc{
Remove everything in the brackets but this code

display: none;
 
It's cool to see some of the changes you all are implementing to the LockMS theme, but it seems to me you're sucking most of the beauty out of the original design

Agreed. The font in LockMS2 is just terrible imo and looks really dated (maybe that's just me tho :p)

On the other hand the seconds implementation is pretty cool, how can I add that to the original LockMS?

I'm sure you're aware you can set the date and time to anything you want in Settings->General. Today could be Wednesday.
