Post Your iPhone Theme


Recommended Posts

You mean on the lock screen? If so, no, I haven't really thought about that, but how is it changed?

Yeah. I have the same theme as you with the tap to unlock button. But I see on your screenshot that the old slide to unlock text is still showing.

I think there are a couple of ways to change the text, but I found the easiest way is to download pledit for windows from http://www.weiphone.com/thread-96170-1-1.html

and then SSH into the iphone, grab the SpringBoard.strings and using pledit find the text "slide to unlock". Delete the text and upload it back to the iphone.

Oh and make sure to backup SpringBoard.strings as well! I assumed the file would be editable with any text editor but I was wrong :(

Gotcha. I ended up installing 'A Better Tap to Unlock' from Cydia to get rid of it. I actually prefer it over the theme's lock screen.

Here are two themes I have been working on. I am experimenting with using the entire screen rather than just icons. So far there is not much design aesthetic to the collage looking one because I was not sure that this would work. Surprisingly, every icon works. I'm revising with better images in the next few days.

Your second one looks great! :D

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
