[Android Themes] HayleyKat:
I'm having the same issue,

I've attached the two images I'd like to have used as a slider if anyone can fix this for me asap?

(Would like the bow to drag across the ribbon to unlock.)

I thought adding the "Iphone" to the file name would help but I guess not.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
For starters, acting like that isn't going to get you much help. There are going to be times when people don't or can't reply.

Now, that happens a lot if you use a file browser to extract the .rar. If you download Unrar (in the market), it should work fine. I had that issue using eFile Manager but Unrar has worked perfectly. If that doesn't, you'll have to extract it on your computer and what not.

Drag it to be bottom and hold it to the side for a minute and the trash can will go away. You might have to move it around a little bit but don't let go of it if the trash can is there.

Name the bow "iphone_slider_left" (without the quotes), name the background "iphone_background_3. It's better to make them the same height so that it's easier to line up. Make the background images 480px wide (if that's your phones res), you'll make another images called :iphone_slider_right" which will be the same size as your iphone_slider_left image, but it will be transparent instead. And make a preview icons of course, 72x72. It's easiest to download one that's already been made and look at it (I suggest you do so), and once you're done with all that, put them in a folder, name it whatever, then send that folder to a zipped folder and name it whatever.wltheme. Make sense?
[Android Themes] HayleyKat:
Thanks-I just did that using zhk3r's Light theme,but now the background doesnt show up but the bow slider does.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Ah, sorry about that:) I forgot to mention that. Open the iphone_background_3 image in Ps or Gimp, whatever you use. Zoom in like, 200, 300x or so, and use the pencil to add a small black pixel to the very top of the image. It doesn't matter if it's centered or not as long as it's up there, the background will show up. It won't otherwise.
[Android Themes] HayleyKat:
Oh awesome-got it!! Thanks again! C:

That was extremely fast haha. But glad you got it working! And no problem!

Help with Transparent Icons on Slider

Hey All - I've been working on my WidgetLocker screen for a couple of months now. Almost have it exactly as I want it. I'm using a 9x8 grid which has perfectly allowed me to add all the things I want to view instantly or access instantly including 7 sliders to allow for quick opening of 14 apps/shortcuts.

Due to the theme of my lockscreen, I want to use custom "neon" or "glowing" icons for my slider functions. I have some great transparent neon icons (meaning for example, the "people" icon is the outline of 2 people, but is transparent inside and out other than the outline itself). Here is my problem...

If I select icon in WidgetLocker Slider Screen and choose "Pick & Crop from Gallery", it allows me to pick the icon and crop it so that it appears as large as possible on my screen (you can see why I'd want that with 7 sliders on the bottom half of my screen) BUT WidgetLocker appears to automatically put a black square background behind the icon meaning it's no longer transparent. On the other hand, if instead of choosing "pick & crop from gallery", I choose "Browse Files" and select the image that way, it stays transparent, but for some reason also shows up a lot tinier.

I tried cropping the image via Photoshop to right around the edges of the actual outline/image, but this does not change anything. It still shows up small if I use the Browse File way (even though it is transparent) OR it shows up bigger if I Browse Gallery & Crop but then is not transparent because there's a black square background behind it.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Eric

anyone can help me with creating WL themes ?

everytime i make it , the background won't show up :(
[Android Themes] marriedman624:
I'm guessing you are making an iphone type theme. For the background you have to add a 1x1 pixel black dot at the very top of the image. it doesn't matter if it is centered or not, but needs to be at the top.

This pixel will not show up on the background but is required to be there for the background to show up.

This is need Root?
[Android Themes] thinkhope:
Just started noticing something. Maybe its always been this way but I'm pretty sure it hasn't otherwise I would have caught it before. On any sense style slider, I slide my lock down to unlock my screen and notice that the lock image quickly goes back to the locked position before my homescreen appears. This is only happening with sense style sliders. This is only happening when my phone is actually locked. When I'm editing my lockscreen and trying different sense sliders, I slide down to exit the editor and the image remains below the screen as it should. Then once I actually lock my screen and unlock it, I experience the above.

Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

VAIO Fingerprint Scanner Theme displays too small on my screen.

Hello,

I'm running on a flashed Sprint to MetroPCS LG Optimus LS670 Android 2.2.2 system.

I've bought and installed the WidgetLocker application and I seem to have a problem with a custom slider that I downloaded and moved to my phone.

Here's the link to the slider I downloaded and moved to my Android: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12721469&postcount=419

The problem with it is, I moved it to my SD card and into the WidgetLocker theme section on the SD card.

But when I apply it to the application the slider and time displays to small, I've tried adjusting the anchor and the grid size but I can't find the solution.

Does anyone know the cause and or a solution to this problem?

All help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Here's a screenshot of my problem

What is your layout (Settings-> Look & Feel-> Layout)? With that setup, mine is a 4x4 grid with a 1-row anchor at the bottom (see attached).
[Android Themes] RaulitoL:
Thanks for the quick response,

My layout was at 2x3 with a 3-row anchor at the bottom.

I tried your layout and the slider still had the same display, I tried to re-size it as well and still no solution :/
[Android Themes] buzzard808:
What's your screen resolution? This theme was designed for WVGA resolution (480x800). May only work for that resolution (have no way of checking).
[Android Themes] RaulitoL:
This is gonna sound "noobie" lol, how do you find out your screens resolution?
[Android Themes] laba82:
Googled your phone and LG's website says 480 x 320.
[Android Themes] RaulitoL:
Yup, thanks. I found out by downloading Android Assistant from the market, really handy app by the way..

Well my resolution is 480x230 as stated above, do you have any idea how I can re-size the custom slider to make it fit my screen? :confused:
[Android Themes] buzzard808:
I'm sure it can be resized/customized for that resolution, but without having a device to test it on, I don't know that I can do it. Anyone is welcomed to take a stab at it if they'd like.
[Android Themes] RaulitoL:
What would I have to do though?

For example, would taking the .zip file and unzipping it then re-sizing the images work?

I don't know I'm just throwing that out there as a possibility :o
[Android Themes] buzzard808:
Yes, it would probably require resizing the images.

damn...tried using GIMP and photoshop to make a new widgetlocker theme...but its becoming increasingly obvious to me as i attempt, i really suck at it. the how to guide would be sweet if it included a set of guidance for both GIMP and Photoshop. or if there was a severly dumbed down set of instructions for people like me that lookat all the options and go crosseyed.

Hey, thanks for the advice dude but my phone isn't rooted even though I thought it would be. I've rooted a MetroPCS Ascend before but I gave that phone away after I got the Optimus.

The reason I'm connected to MetroPCS on an LG Sprint phone is because a friend of mines at "Simple Mobile" flashed it over, I thought he had to root it in order to do that but it appears not :/

You don't. You simply remove the "integrated" clock widget (it is just a widget), and use a different clock widget of your choice instead.

What you have in your picture is not the "integrated clock with a different font". What you have in your picture is a completely different third party widget.

Hi,

I'm experiencing a possibly battery draining problem with Widgetlocker on my Galaxy S2.

Two lock screen

This has probably been answered somewhere but with such vast amount of information its very difficult to find it.

Wonder if anyone can help

I am using latest version of widgetlocker on Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini (NOT to be confused with Xperia X10 mini that was released last year. The Xperia mini was only released couple of weeks ago).

When I unlock the widgetlocker screen I am also shown the stock lock screen (by this I mean the slider not just the lock pattern). This means I have to unlock three times;

1) widget locker

2) stock slider

3) stock lock pattern.

Is there anyway of removing number (2) from above list?

[Android Themes] Step666:
I'm guessing this is in some way related to why WidgetLocker insists on scaling down images, even though the number of rows and columns selected should be more than adequate for the size of image.

Can anyone offer any insight as to how I can stop WL doing this?
[Android Themes] Chubalicious:
does anybody known a HTC sense 3.0 lock screen for widgetlocker?
[Android Themes] knowah:
I'm not sure about the scaling of images, etc. I never could get the background and slider in the first set of links to match up true. It was always 1 pixel off, no matter if I added a pixel to either layer.

But to combat the blank space left at the bottom, I use a solid black bar along the bottom edge of the background with a semi transparent slider on top of it. It works great if you have a black phone with a nice screen that shows true(r) blacks, like a super amoled. I do not see the black bar along the bottom at all.

I've spent a lot of time creating the image I want to use as the slider but every time I add it, no matter how large I make it on the page, it doesn't appear as the correct size, it's scaled down.

I'll see if I can upload some screenshots to explain.

[Android Themes] Step666:
Ok, so here's a couple of quick screenshots showing the problem I mentioned before.

Sorry for the small image size but I think it should still be obvious what the issues are.

Firstly, the slider was cropped down from the background, so the outline of the hand should be exactly the same size as the one it sits over.

Secondly, the image is smaller than the box in the first screenshot, so there's no reason why it shouldn't appear full size in the first image and certainly no reason why it's still the wrong size in the second screenshot.

Anyone got any idea why this isn't working properly?
