Thanks for the simple install instructions! Quick question, how do I change the color of the wallpaper? I like the orange one that you have on pg 1. Does anyone have the different colored slantedlock wallpapers?

 

[brandonD101]

great work!

 

[henrikrox]

for some weird reason, i have the slide to unlock text still. its english on the iphone 4, weird weird :/ anyone know how to fix it

would be super happy if someone helped me out. i have norwegian region, and english text and speech.

Dunno what im doing wrong, but the slide to unlock text shows on the lockscreen. But when i slide to unlock the phone the text gradually goes away.

Works great on my iPad.

Thanks Claude626 and leddhedd.

My only problem with it is that I can't get the default wallpaper to show up.

I don't mind making my own or SSHing a pic' I like, but it would be nice to use any pic' I find on the web or image I've synced to it.

In the meantime, the wallpapers leddhedd re-sized look great.


Just in case anyone can figure out a fix:

Winterboard
SlantedLock
HD Icons iPad
iPad:iPhone 4 Clear Lock Screen
Glasklart HD BAdges
White Icon Labels

I've tried:

Settings > Brightness & Wallpaper > Selecting an image > Set Lockscreen > ReSpring

It didn't work for me.

Inside the SlantedLock configuration, under Wallpaper Set, select "Default". Respring. At least this is how it works for the iPhone 4. iPad may have the default location of the background in a different directory. I do not have an iPad to work on...

Last I tried making one for the iPad, my testers didn't respond til almost a week later. I find it too much of a hassle to develop it that way and figure there's not that much demand for it, so I dropped it. Besides leddhedd got a working one.

EDIT: On a separate note... I find that the weather icon is getting in the way of non-abstract wallpapers, so I turned it off. The current configuration menu only allows for a complete removal of weather--meaning you cannot simply remove the icon and keep the location, temperature, and condition. A quick work around is simply add one line to the css of the weathericon element.
- Use iFile to open up SlantedLock.css inside SlantedLock.theme/Private/css/
- Find #weatherIcon chunk at the very bottom of this file.
- Press Edit and add ABOVE the LAST closing curly braces (this thing: } ) ----> display:none;
- Save the file. Exit iFile. Respring.

You will be left with only the Location, temperature, and weather condition above the time. No icon.

Claude, dumb question here but what is the easiest way change the wallpapers? Do you have the blank templates anywhere that I can copy from my phone?

I'm not sure I understand your question. However, looking at your previous post, it sounds like you want one of the images from the pack of default 24 hour wallpapers.

If that is the case, then you can find all 24 images inside the folder SlantedLock.theme/Private/images/24hrbkg/
(or something named with 24hr... i forgot the name of the set's folder)

Claude, what time does it change from day to night icons?

i mean it gets black outside here at 2000, and it still show and sun and a cloud, instead of dark night cloudy icon.

Its now 22:30 here, and it still shows a sun, which is weird.

Is there a way to set when the the cycle changes?

its now midnight, same problem, shows a sun and cloudy, the degrees and forecast is right, but its night many hours ago, i also use a htc plugin on homescreen, and that is showing correct weather. weird

There is no day/night distinction icons. There may be a few appropriate icons that resembles night time, but for the most part, the icon follows what the weather code that the weather source dictates. I find it very inaccurate, and will plan on excluding this icon in the future. It has been something that's bothering me. For what it's worth, I have disabled the weather icon for my own personal use using the technique I described in my previous post. It's just something not practical to have if it's not accurate.

EDIT: To clarify, the inaccuracies of the icons are due largely to the limited icons in the icon set. I got it from some other weather packages... and they're kinda a mess... some sets would have more than others and stuff like that, so there are a lot of reuses of icons for different weather codes--causing odd displays of icons relative to time.

Been using this for a while and it's still the best! Recently though, I found the animated backgrounds (that mimic Android's) that can run on the lockscreen or as a wallpaper. These also use Javascript, I believe. One of them is NeuroLine by nitestarzz, which can be downloaded here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8SPZXBN7

I wanted to use SlantedLock on top of them, but apparently it doesn't work. It's either one or the other. Is there any way to use them together? It would be the most awesome thing ever. I've been trying to combine the code but I don't know any computer languages/programming so I've had no luck >_>

Well with a bit of clean up in the code there shoudlnt be a problem i think to atleast get the day/night right.

Like how do i add my own? looking trough yahooweather.js, there is only 4-5 icons for night specific weather stuff.
For example, its light snow showers here now, yahooweather.js says light snow showers is //14 and "snow2.png"

How can i add my own like Snow2_Night.png and light snow showers (night) and. Would be super, as at is now is preety messed up.

Yes. It can be done. All I had to do was add a check for time of day, but As I said way earlier in this whole long thread... It will break if someone were to find another icon set from somewhere else and try using it as such icon set will not have the required icons as a custom made set.

 

[henrikrox]

Sorry, but i dont quite understand what you mean.

Could you tell me how to add my own weather types, im not going to use other icons or what you mean, i just mean its alot of icons inside tick folders not being linked in the yahooweather.js

That file shows 95% day weather, and almost no night weather

My custom pics not working

[henrikrox]

i cleaned up the code now, with images and inside yahooweather.js, seems great so far.

I absolutely love this lockscreen!! Although I am not crazy about the provided weather icons so I downloaded "Novacons: weather" icons to replace them with from http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/free-weather-icons-collection/

Now, as per the instructions provided in the text document I made a folder and renamed all of the files to correspond with the ones in the HTC weather icon set. Then SSHed the folder into Library/Themes/SlantedLock.themes/Private/images (where all the other image folders are).
I turned the theme off, changed the config folder to point to "Novacon" for my weather icons and then re-enabled the theme but it only displays a box with a ? mark in the middle.
Now I have looked over the posts here and deleted the file in databases for safari but this has not addressed the issue.
I have also tried replacing the Trick icons with mine and then selecting it but still the same issue - something to do with my icons - as well as changing the resolution of all the icons to 128x128...
I am just wondering if anyone here might be able to help me with my problem please (><) Thanks

My icons (edited): http://rapidshare.com/files/435822108/NovaconWeatherIcons.zip

 

[henrikrox]

All i did was to make a folder inside images, called weatheralt (can call whatever)

Then i made sure the png's were named correctly inside that folder.

like cloudy_4.png etc.

Then i want to the config in safari, chose custom weather and typed in weatheralt.

Done

Yep... this is the case where the icon set is either missing a required icon or is improperly named or is in the wrong format.

Icons are definitely gone if I make a new revision. Too much hassle.

Anyone experiencing sluggish performance even though you are using 1.5.4. I have used 1.5.4 and I'm having massive lag after turning the phone on after being active for 1-2 hours.

It took my iPhone 4 13 seconds to launch the photo app. When I disabled slantedlock it took 1-2.

I'm on 4.2.1 btw

 

[timakudo]

Thanks Claude, turns out that was it.
I renamed another set of icons from that website which worked perfectly. Must have just been those particular icons. Will try again. Does resolution matter? If I have my icons as 256x256 will they be too big or squished to the right size? Or should I resize to 128 (that will keep the hd quality I'm after)? Thanks

Hey guys,
I just downloaded this theme and works great. One problem though, I live in South Australia, Mount Lofty and I can't seem to get the weather bit to work. I entered my ZIP code but it got East Arlington in Texas instead. Can someone please get the code for my location? I prefer accuweather as Yahoo doesn't supply all the details in my area.

I'd greatly appreciate this!
