General [Theme] SlantedLock v1.5.4 now on Cydia (UPDATE: iPad version 1.5.5p on Cydia)

[traderstavros]

Jumping on the 'this is such an awesome theme' bandwagon. I wanted to ask if anyone has started consolidating all of the custom wallpapers for this theme. I'd love to be able to browse all of the neat stuff everyone comes up with (as I am rather uncreative myself) and know that the stock ones will get stale eventually. I love the idea of a rotating wallpaper every 24hours and if it matches with the time of day, makes it all that cooler.

Great work, would love it to work with the Lockinfo shade, but can cope.

ive been wondering if it's at all possible to make the wallpapers adapt to what the current weather is. Looks weird when it's 7am and my wallpaper is bright blue and it's still dark out

How did you do it? Can you post your slantedlock.css file? Thanks

I think it looks better without the weather images

SSH the attached file into

Library>Themes>SlantedLock.theme>Private>Images>Tick

Respring, set images to tick and you should be set

Thank you all for helping me to sort out my Lock Screen. And now thanks to your help I've managed to get it exactly how I want it. Please do not hesitate to ask me how I did it coz I believe it's my turn to help others. Thanks again.

Went a little wild with the colors, but that's the beauty of customizable phones! To each his own!

Mine looks like this

How do i remove the bottom arrow and the black border around it. Is there any way to get the slide to unlock text?

Ok guys, Im really loving this rotating wallpaper option we now have,very cool!

love the idea,hated the basic wallpapers.....so I took my fave retina wallpapers,and renamed them and made them sorta match the time of day....love it!

anyone wants this setup,just replace your ''slbkg24hr'' folder with this NEW one i made(its in the images folder)

love it, you guys rock!

EDIT: I guess i cannot upload such a large zip file....well here is a screenshot of how i renamed my retina wallpapers,you get the idea....how great to see my custom wallpapers come up each hour!

remember when you rename,each number coincides with 24hr clock(IE: 2.jpg=2am or 18.jpg=6pm)

These backgrounds look great! How large are they? Would you mind posting it to a file sharing site somewhere?

Someone on this forum did an analysis of data usage between yahoo and accuweather. Might be worth searching for could have even been early in this thread.

Update: Found it. Look at post 152 of this thread. Page 4 or so for me.

I posted this data in the first post. It seems no one cares about the juicy info of the first post.

You'll be absolutely fine at that interval.

If you got Slanted Lock from Cydia or from this thread, then it's cached. That non-cache reference was only for a few users using my VERY early build of what wasn't even called SlantedLock, yet.

Is it possible to use SlantedLock without using Winterboard?

Unless someone figures out a way to run an HTML file on the lockscreen, then no. SlantedLock is nothing more than a fancy website. Winterboard is responsible for "hosting" the website on your lockscreen. Without a "host", there are no websites.

I see. That's a bummer.. I really don't care much for Winterboard, but I love SlantedLock...

How do you guys fix the whole listening to music issue? Whenever I use this lockscreen and I'm listening to music on my iPhone, SlantedLock doesn't show up, just the album art. Any way around that?

I'd like to get this on my newly jailbroken iPad...

Then install it. There is an iPad discussion within this thread. Enjoy!

Just like to thank Claude626 A LOT. This is a totally wicked lockscreen, that is simple to use, beautiful, and functional!

One question I have is regarding the sliding to unlock. My parents sometimes use my iPhone, and since they're almost blind as bats they cants see the sliding icon. They use to be able to use my old lockscreen, which had an arrow and was a bright green color.

Is there anyway for me to change the current sliding icon to that type of thing? If that were to happen, is it possible to have the 24hr like effect on changing the color of the sliding icon?

Thanks again Claude626!!!

I figured it out, for anyone who is having this problem too.

SSH into System/Library/SpringBoardPlugins and change NowPlaying ArtLockScreen.bundle to NowPlaying ArtLockScreen_.bundle and the album art won't show up anymore, leaving SlantedLock showing even while playing music.

Nice find!

Not sure, didn't see it posted but is there a way to use the default "slide to unlock" arrow/bar? I'm not a huge fan of padlock, but if I can't change it back it'll be fine... Thankx!

Anything's possible in an HTML theme. I had different sliders previosly but decided the "padlock" was the least intrusive of the options and stuck with it. Hopefully someone will point you in the right direction or you can find a desirable slider code in another theme and cut it in.

In winterboard, put SlantedLock above Suave HD.

Wow. That was easy. T hanks

Anyway to have the script just use the default wallpaper set with the stock settings app?
