Hey guys,

Forgive me if this has been discussed ad nauseum. I am a noob to the jb world. I have been researching for the past two hours with no specific answers. However, I have learned how to use cyberduck and ssh.

Anyway, I have a zip file for a lockscreen I like. I know how to transfer it to my iphone with cyberduck. But, I must not be formatting it right because winterboard shows the theme, but when I activate it, it just goes right back to the normal apple lockscreen.

Can anyone tell me:
1. how to make sure it is in the right format.
2. how to get it to my iphone in such a way that winterboard can instal it.

Again, I'm sorry for the repetition, but I could really use a clear answer.

Thank you!
 
Ok, figured it out: What I've had to do is include my own LockBackground.html file (in my theme directory) that points to my LockBackground.png file (in my theme directory). Works like a charm:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<div id="background">
<img src="/Library/Themes/**YOUR THEME NAME**/LockBackground.png" width="320" height="480"></img>
</div>
</body>
</html>

I didn't really understand that, but I have read more tutorials on this and it looks like I am doing everything right. Even the themes I put on my phone from cydia are coming up with question marks instead of images. The specific lockscreen I want is here...

I unzip it...transfer it with ssh to the themes folder in my phone...load the hide the clock app...go into winterboard and select the lockscreen.....respring....and behold....nothing. All I see is the standard apple wallpaper
