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

claude..

i finally decided to just use your new cached version from cydia....since i could not CENTER the month or days properly on the older version.

i had brought this subject up several times before...the original author of the program never had all the proper ICONS to coincide with the actual description of weather,this happens on a few occasions depending obviously on the descr at the time.

so I had gone into each description in the yahoo;js file to make them coincide properly.....now on this new cache version i see you have not fixed this..

today i woke up and i have a cloudy description but see a SUNNY icon.

normally i would just fix this myself in the yahoo js but you have changed it,and i dont see how or where i can make these changes....


please advise ,i can fix it all and update it back to you for future,as i did with the PRE-Cache versions.

thanks

I've been using Accuweather exclusively for this very reason. Frustrating to say the least, and I don't have the skills to debug the js file for yahoo weather.

For those interested in round dots for the time semicolon instead of square blocks, here's the webkit instruction:
-webkit-border-radius:15px;

Just add it to sections div#secondsbox and div#ampmbox in your css.
Note: to get a clean round circle, I increased the box height and width to 16px

Very cool. Added this today from your instruction. I left the old code with // just in case I want to revert back!
 
Claude i updated to the latest version,and I see you made it easier(like older version) to edit the yahoo.js file so i can fix the icon=description properly.

I edited the yahoo.js and i have also added several new icons to the 'KLEAR' folder,which makes this a much more complete set of icons for certain description weather conditions....i highly recommend people adding this to their slanted lock themes,and I hope Claude will add these changes too.

FOR YAHOO.JS used with "KLEAR" ICONS ONLY!

first off,you need to paste this text into your yahoo.js file exactly to replace whats there in exact same position:

var MiniIcons =
[
"tornado", //0 tornado
"tstorm3", //1 tropical storm
"tornado", //2 hurricane
"tstorm3", //3 severe thunderstorms
"tstorm2", //4 thunderstorms
"sleet", //5 mixed rain and snow
"sleet", //6 mixed rain and sleet
"sleet", //7 mixed snow and sleet
"sleet", //8 freezing drizzle
"light_rain", //9 drizzle
"sleet", //10 freezing rain
"shower2", //11 showers
"shower3", //12 showers
"snow1", //13 snow flurries
"snow2", //14 light snow showers
"snow4", //15 blowing snow
"snow4", //16 snow
"hail", //17 hail
"sleet", //18 sleet
"mist", //19 dust
"fog", //20 foggy
"mist", //21 haze
"mist", //22 smoky
"windy", //23 blustery
"windy", //24 windy
"cold", //25 cold
"cloudy5", //26 cloudy
"cloudy4_night", //27 mostly cloudy (night)
"cloudy4", //28 mostly cloudy (day)
"cloudy2_night", //29 partly cloudy (night)
"cloudy2", //30 partly cloudy (day)
"sunny_night", //31 clear (night)
"sunny", //32 sunny
"mist_night", //33 fair (night)
"mist", //34 fair (day)
"hail", //35 mixed rain and hail
"hot", //36 hot
"tstorm1", //37 isolated thunderstorms
"tstorm2", //38 scattered thunderstorms
"tstorm2", //39 scattered thunderstorms
"tstorm2", //40 scattered showers
"snow5", //41 heavy snow
"snow3", //42 scattered snow showers
"snow5", //43 heavy snow
"cloudy1", //44 partly cloudy
"tstorm1", //45 thundershowers
"snow2", //46 snow showers
"tstorm1", //47 isolated thundershowers
"dunno", //3200 not available

Now all you need to do is replace your KLEAR folder with this attached KLEAR folder,this will make sure the proper weather conditions icon coincides with the proper description,and also I have added several new icons such as:
-cold

-fog

-hot

-sleet

-tornado

-windy

*as usual always backup any files/folders you are editing.

I don't sense that something is wrong with the weather icon. I KNOW what is wrong with the weather icon. :)

This is for yahooWeather.
Do this:
Edit this link and put it in your browser:
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?u=f&w=INSERT_YOUR_WOEID_HERE
Then right click on that page and view source(if you are using firefox)
See the line similar to this: <yweather:condition text="Fair" code="33" temp="70" date="Sat, 04 Sep 2010 8:53 pm PDT" />
Now match the "code" number to the list below.
Finally, look up the icon name as dictated by the list in your icons folder. If the icon you find in your icon folder matches what is being shown on your iPhone, then it's working. :) Also note the time of the forecast from that link. If Yahoo isn't providing up-to-the-minute condition, I can't make it accurate.

<snip long list>

See all the duplicated entries in that list? It's using same icon for multiple code events. This is exactly what ROCKERDAN was talking about.

As far as I'm concerned, the script is fetching the proper data and relaying it onto your screen given the settings, it's functional code. I'm not going to fix this list because it seems to be following standard icon list rules(a not so accurate one?). Also, I mainly use the weather for the temperature display, which I think is a WHOLE lot more accurate than the icons anyways. :D

If I were to modify that list, then I'm essentially creating a "new standard" for icon naming, which would pretty much break with whatever icon set you might chose to use in the future. There are a total of 48 condition code, but each theme seems to have only 39 icons.(HTC has 40) So what happens to the other 8-9 icons? If I edit this list by specifying NEW icon names, then what happens when you use another set of icons that adheres to the OLD standard with only 39 icons? You will get broken image on the icons that isn't available in that icon set.

You can certainly play with that list in the JS files to suite your liking. :)

ROCKERDAN, I know this is an issue, but it is something we've all inherited from weatherfurik I think.

With your solution, we can only have ONE set of icon to work with the theme: The Klear set. This is because you added new icons with new names.

If I want to use the theme with Tick icon set, for example, I would get broken images when the code asks for an icon that doesn't exist in the Tick icon set. So I would update the icon list if you just use what was already there--and make it "more accurate", I would update the script and credit your work. However, any alterations and additions to the list to reference items that aren't already there pose a good chance someone is going to get a broken image because they aren't using an icon set with that icon.
 
Claude: since it takes a several seconds (the lockscreen by default is only lit up for 5 seconds I believe), you may want to recommend in your instructions to install the program Lockscreen Dim Delay Control. Then you can set a longer duration for the lock screen as opposed to hitting home a few times. Just a thought.

While this may be true, the occurrence of those long delayed load is far in between. Noticeable for me only when testing or checking out the new settings, etc. For my daily use, I frequently hit the home button to read time. For that purpose, it's instantaneous. I'm just not a fan of installing additional mods to bog down the phone for small features that matters lightly. What can I say? I'm a practical guy and likes applying efficiency into practical use stuff. ;)

Of course, users can install however they wish, I simply listed what is required to make the thing run. :)

+1 I have found that the lockscreen is there almost always. I do have the dim delay installed but that was mostly for when I was using LockInfo. It's still there so I can admire my SlantedLock a little longer :cool:

Just used your update and my yahoo is now displaying the right icon for the weather! Nice work on the icons too!

Hi Claude,

I really like your theme a lot I've been using this and the LockMS theme. Anyways I been able to successfully insert code in the LockMS HTML file that will allow the background to change depending on the time of day, but I am having trouble inserting it in your theme. Any help will be appreciated, and I think this will be a really cool feature to your theme. Thanks.

exactly why i was sure to say use KLEAR only.....i have no interest personally in changing icon sets,the HTC are horrible IMO and the tango are decent,and anyone could easily add the ones i mentioned to any set they like. I just added them to KLEAR since i like these most.

I just hated the fact it called for a cloudy1 icon for 5 different types of weather!,LOL...made no sense to me whatsoever,and I know it has nothing to do with your script since i saw this issue way back on original weatherFurik themes.....

I just thought since you now had your signature on these new themes you would want it all to work properly....finding better icons online,and in retina form(like "tornado" icon i got) look fantastic...

i am glad i was able to edit the yahooJS much easier now,since you reverted back to older style,nice work Claude i love the look.
 
Having fun with SlantedLock. It's really making life easier with the HTML changes. New change suggested for Yahoo js is also working great!

Since I rarely turn my phone off I just happened to notice that the power down slider tray doesn't match the style of the slide to unlock and slide to answer slider trays. Instead, it's a white/gray looking rectangle that just doesn't belong.

Anyone can easily fix this graphic, just look for topbarbkgnd@2x.png and make it completely transparent.

I know its been asked but I cannot find it--how do I get the Thin Lock Slide? thanks
 
Same issue here with me.....cache version(latest) just doesnt want to update to MOON(night icon)

seems to take several hours....

I had great luck with the older versions withOUT CACHE personally.....and I dont mind SSH at all,

so I went back to my other version.....some small tweaks to CSS file.....round COLON for seconds and AM/PM....added italics to description and tweaked the month,day and date locations....

really love it!

edit: Just added weatherIcon.....now i got statusbar temp/icon and temp badge/icon on app!

not a big deal.. just the perfectionist in me.. but is there a solution to the image we use as our LS wallpaper being distorted at all? sometimes the color is different or size, can't exactly tell.

this is an awwweeessommmeee lockscreen

Simply take the Slantedlock.css from the cached version and drop it in the "'old" version. They will look the same.
Click to expand...

that was first thing i tried,but didnt work whatsoever....there must be too many other changes in the html.

that was why i asked claude about centering the older version.

but now im much happier with the older version i tweaked(pics above) which updates better for me....

the cache version just wasnt updating correctly ,mostly showing sun 3-4 hours into the nightime,while the yahoo app showed moon correctly.

still love the theme overal,just easier for me to ssh the original NON CACHE version.
