I tried my fist slider and it works.. the only problem is the background I made does not show up, only the slider. Could someone look at it and tell me what I have done wrong.. again It is very basic I only wanted to see if I could do it..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6752979/blackdot.wltheme.zip
[Android Themes] MickeyCee:
Did you put the dot on the very top pixel?
[Android Themes] tllippert:
I thought I did.. I have been playing around with another theme and I got the background to work but now I'm having problems with lettering... I probably didn't get the pixel to the top on that one, but did on the new one I'm messing around on.. On the new one I have writing on it, but when I make it the lock screen the lettering is stretched and does not look right, I'm trying to fix it.. Here is the one I'm working on.. If you put it on your phone you'll see what I mean by the letters stretching..

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6752979/policeline.wltheme.zip
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
That's because the dot is above the text. Put the black dot to the side where there aren't any letters and it won't do that.
[Android Themes] MickeyCee:
Nice concept on the new one, I am still very new at making these myself. I do see how the text stretches....no idea how to fix it but sure some of the great people in this thread will help out.
[Android Themes] Weapondrift:
Ok, im confused...ive NEVER used any kind of photoshop or any kind of tool. So on step 2 theres a highlighted box....what was used to highlight it? :confused:
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
That's just the active layer. You can just click on a layer and it highlights it.

Question

Ok so in the other thread where people are posting themes I see a lot of themes that have widgets (or at least thats what I suspect) showing how many missed calls they have, sms, gmail, etc. what widgets are they using to display these stats? I am pretty fluent with the concepts of transparent pngs and customizing like they are doing I just dont know what widgets they are using to get a start...
[Android Themes] hachoo:
How did you end up doing this? I don't want my volume buttons to unlock at the moment because my NS always knocks around in my pocket and the buttons are quick sensitive. I'm running CM7 as well... is there something I'm missing in the CM7 settings that is interfering with the WL settings??
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Hard keys only wake the device if you have the stock lockscreen disabled. So, you'll have to enable it to keep them from turning it on.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
SMS Unread Count, TX Missed, and Missed It.
[Android Themes] Weapondrift:
thanks ...I might be back asking for more help with this maybe ALOT more frequently lol

out of curiosity tho. were you using the single pixel at the top as a reference point for the center?
[Android Themes] johnny quest:
I posted this on the wrong "widget locker" thread so this may be a duplicate.

I would love to use these lockscreens but I'm getting force closes on my phone and its driving me crazy. I can't pick a lockscreen when I go to add, it freezes up and then force close window pops up.

what can I do. I uninstalled it and then reinstalled and its still the same thing. I even took it out of Data/app and put it in System/data/app and still. Help please.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
No problem. Haha that's cool, man.

Well, those aren't my shots:) But, the black pixel is what allows the background to show up. This is so you can use the sliders on higher resolution devices such as the XOOM. You can put the black pixel anywhere at the top, it doesn't matter if it's centered or not, just as long as it's up there. But, if you make a slider with text, don't put the dot over the text or it will stretch it and it will look really bad. Put it in above an area that's just the background or whatever.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Was it after you flashed a new ROM or something that this started happening? I think I heard someone else talking about they had force closes after they flashed something. You could always try exporting it the the SD card and installing it from there. I don't think it will help if it was force closing the other two ways but you could always try.
[Android Themes] johnnysyeah:
I got a question,

I'm trying to set a Application to a custom slider, but I want to KEEP the slider image instead of having the application icon take over. Anyone know if that's possible?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah, when you edit the slider to choose what application it runs, there is an icons tab. Just click that and select built in, and it will give you all of the slider images.
[Android Themes] johnnysyeah:
Hmm, just tried that, but in the Built in option, I don't see any of the new themed slider images.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Which slider is it for exactly? Like, one of the stock sliders or a theme? If a theme, which?
[Android Themes] johnnysyeah:
It's a theme; the Tron theme.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Ah, now I get what you mean. I was thinking it was the regular slider or rotary maybe. The only thing I know to do for that is to put the slider image on your SD card, then choose custom icon, and then select the slider from your gallery. Should work just the same.
[Android Themes] johnnysyeah:
I actually tried that too, it sort of worked, except the arrows would be smaller than normal.

But I just thought about it, if I chose the file also when I make the Unlocking slider, then it should all look small, at the same size.

It would work out that way then!

Thanks a lot for your help :D
[Android Themes] jason.hamilton:
Hello, can anyone take a look at this youtube video and tell me if that is widget locker that he uses to unlock the phone. Is it possible to do that kind of lockscreen w/ WL? Its non linear so you can move the box around before settling it down to unlock. Would be awesome to get this lockscreen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg23Tvkjonc&feature=related
[Android Themes] johnny quest:
this happened after I installed a rom then installed all my apps. But it worked way back then with other roms. It was working when I first put it back on my phone and then when I tried to install some sliders it hasn't worked since.

Home Button Unlock

I have tried searching for this but nothing I find solved my issue.

I have unchecked "Allowed Home Button" but I can still unlock the screen when I press the home button.

Can someone please tell me how I can disable this.

I am using it on a Samsung Galaxy S2.

Thanks for the help.

Sorry if the answer is here somewhere, I must be daft cause I really did not find one that helped.
[Android Themes] fox_dye:

I would really like something plain and boring that I can't find anywhere. The standard sense pull down screen but straight and rectangular. It would be great if there was a clock, and the last 3 or so appointments, missed calls, sms and number of emails or something like that.

I would really appreciate that! The background from here, or something similar would be excellent too.

Is there any way to implement Widget Locker on the call lockscreen?
[Android Themes] razorx123:
I feel retarded.. I can not find the directory which im supposed to put the themes..

"/data/com.widgetlocker.teslacoilsw/themes"

I do not have a com.widgerlocker.teslacoilsw directory.. Please help me :)

I use "My files" program .. Should i be using any other program?

If i use "root explorer" i can find /data/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/

But there is no theme directory.. So i created one and put the theme there.. If i try to long click it i do not get any install option.

But i dont know what to do next..

[Android Themes] syn87:
I love this app! But i do have one minor problem though. When I get a pop up message via Handcent, as I start writing a reply, widgetlocker locks up and takes me to the lockscreen. It becomes a bit unresponsive afterwards. I have the timeout setting off, and I tried looking at other settings but I cant figure it out. Is there a way to make it so that the pop up message will stay up as I write the message?

[Android Themes] azlemad:
Hi guys

I plug my phone into the car stereo when I'm driving to listen to mp3s.

I have set a slider to open the stock music player.

Then I have "Phantom Music Control" widget on my WidgetLock screen, to skip songs easily without having to unlock. (the widget is only visible while music player is open)

Trouble is, when I unplug my phone after using it in the car (player auto pauses when removing cord from headphone jack) and put it in my pocket, the music player is still open, phantom widget still visible and sometimes I bump the play/pause button and music starts playing which can sometimes be embarrassing/annoying :P

So what I want to do is make a slider where it will kill/close the music player.

Or kill the player when the cord removed from headphone jack.

Possible? Which is best way to go about doing this

thanks for any ideas =)
[Android Themes] grudas:

[Android Themes] oOMavrikOo:
Can someone tell me where to find the "com" names for determining which apks can't show pop ups on top of the lock screen?
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
You did not have the single black pixel at the top of the slider. That is required for sliders, but not for rotary or sense.

Here ya go.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Do you have Minimalistic Text downloaded? You can look at the activities list through that and get the names. Or, if you have Launcher Pro, you can add a shortcut, and go to Activities and look through the list. You can also go to /system/data if you're rooted and see them.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Ok...a lot of folks have had this same dilemma about the background not showing up but after reading the thread and applying the possible solutions to this issue, I still can't get the background to show up. The slider works fine though. I've attached the file so if any of the experts on here want to check it out and see what I'm doing wrong and let me know, that would be greatly appreciated. I've edited and created battery mods, rosie mods, titlebars etc., all with little to no problems but I can't get this to work. It's driving me crazy...lol. :rolleyes:

This by no means is this the finished product but it's something I'm working on until I can get this issue solved then I can go in and do more with it.

When i turn off the screen for stand by it turns back on ? no idea whats causing it ? please help me out .

[Android Themes] jillora:
I did a quick search and didn't find my answer and also read the last few pages of this thread and it is seriously long. I just downloaded widgetlocker today and am having fun playing around with it, but the widgetlocker website seems a bit barren of help. Here are a couple of really basic things I'm sure have been asked many times in this thread but which I could not find the answer to.

1. How can I replace the unlock slider with the custom one? When I add the slider, it shows up, but cannot replace the default and I cannot delete the default.

Also, the background is based on an Incredible which has the same screen resolution as the HD2, why does widgetlocker insist on cropping the background? What can I do to overcome it?

I finally bought widgetlocker because of PaulMZ's Star Trek PADD theme I saw over at androidforums.(I'd post a link, but don't have enough posts yet.)

Thanks in advance for any answers.
[Android Themes] wahur1:
bump anyone?
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
If the wallpaper for a theme is from a link to a deviant art image as a couple of mine are, you will need to use a program like The GIMP to resize or crop for your screen resolution. I like to link to the original image when possible. As far as removing the default slider from the Widgetlocker screen, press and hold on the locker, lift it up out of place and a trash can should appear. Drop it down on the trash can and it should turn red at which point, release and it should go away.
[Android Themes] oOMavrikOo:
I'm having troubles with Handcent pop ups popping up even after disabling it. It only shows for a second when waking the device, then disappears until unlocked, but sometimes I can't type in the text box on the pop up after this occurs. Is this common? Is there a fix?
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Your lock works just fine on my phone. Have you restarted since you added it toy our sd card? I know with testing, added a theme would work fine, but if I repalced one, I had to restart the phone to flush it out, then everything would work.
[Android Themes] killmastern3:
Guys,

[Android Themes] lambasurm:
can we place our iphone sliders gaplessly to the bottom of the screen anytime soon?

here's an example how it would look: http://fav.me/d2ny3b8

p.s. can the sense and iphone sliders be made "pressable?" i.e. like the android slider, which switches color upon pressing
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Turn on your anchor. Then it will sit at the bottom.
[Android Themes] lambasurm:
the slider background can be stretched to the bottom without a problem, but the slider itself can not be aligned to the bottom regardless of the anchor setting.

just maybe it can be overcome, if not - i'm happy using sense

[Android Themes] jkolner:

[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
The themes that come with it are built into the .apk. All custom themes go in the theme folder that the other member just referred to.

[Android Themes] s197:
Anyone seen the HTC Sense 3.0 lockscreen? I don't suppose upcoming versions of WL would be able to create something similar?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I have another question about the background. Does the static image in the background have to have smooth lines? The reason I ask is that the background image I made has jagged edges and when I see the image on my screen, part of the image is jagged and the middle of it is a straight line. This of course is unintended. It's just displayed incorrectly and I don't know why.

If anyone needs more clarification, please let me know. Thanks in advance.

That's Fancy Widget Pro:

The clock skin is MIUIClock and the weather skin is SGSWeather.

If you purchase it from the market, put the attached files on your SD card:

The weather skin:

In the settings of the widget go into Appearance settings, the widget style has to be Flip clock and set each skin individually.

[Android Themes] vanessaem:
I know...but I was just just giving him another way to do it. Can you help me out with my question if possible? Please. :)
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah, sure. What is it?
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
It was written a few post up. I can PM you if that would be better? However, I've been messing around with the theme and I think I'm making a break through.

This was the original question. I'm still wondering about it because I'm having a heck of a time here.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
The only reason I can think of that happening is because of the black dot stretching the theme. Is the theme the width of your phones resolution? If it's smaller, that would be why it's happening.
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
You know, funny enough, that was the breakthrough I was having. I'm going to post what I have so far over on the main Widget Locker Theme page in a few. It's a simple looking theme but looks are deceiving. It was a real chore to create. :rolleyes:
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
So, does that mean you got it working? Haha
[Android Themes] vanessaem:
Well, it always worked but I had that problem I described before and it's still not 100% the way I want it but it will have to do for now. I've been at this theme off and on all weekend..lol. Thanks.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I just looked at it. Put your black pixel to the side instead of the center and it won't affect the the zipper at all.

I have a question concerning WL's compatibility with the Theme Chooser. I know its a known issue, and will prolly be addressed in the next version of WL, but im looking for a work around.

Does anyone know if it would be possible to use the theme chooser to apply a CM theme, and then remove theme chooser via TiBu, and have the theme stay, and WL work properly?

Or will removing theme chooser, remove the theme. Orrrr, is it the theme that messes with WL and not necessarily the app?

Any Answers would be helpful! Thanks :)
