Just a quick question, is there still a issue with using WL and the theme engine build into CM7? I know for awhile if you used both widgets liked to disappear from WL when rebooting. Is this still a issue?
[Android Themes] Osbor:
seems to be working. all the individual download links work

this is actually a fantastic idea, assuming you provide some framework for uploading themes and maybe even searching them, it would circumvent the problem of threads turning into question dumps and non-theme posts
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
As far as I know, yes.
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
Thanks. I like your ideas but my html-foo is not that good. :)

The best I can muster is a index page with the submitter and a link to a page with the screen cap and download links. In a effort to keep bandwidth at a minimum we would need the submitter to host the files on a site like dropbox or something, similar to what is being done here.

Will WL 2.2 bring back the transetion/animation while unlocking the phone ? =)

I wanted S2U2 like lockscreen. Used to it on wm 6.5 my old diamond. Could it be possibe to make it in android os?

Trying to redo this for the Galaxy Tab 1024 x 600, but can't get the size right.

Whenever I place the image it resizes when it lands at the bottom of screen.

Need A nice iphone slider

hey i was wondering if someone can make me a really nice looking iphone slide to unlock just like the iphone default one. please :)
[Android Themes] jpzsports:
Is there any way I could get the SMS preview at the bottom of the lockscreen like in the Sense lockscreen?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Use the stock gallery then.

That's weird though, I don't even get the option to use Quickpic. It automatically takes me to the stock gallery and I hate it. So, I guess that's creating the issue.
[Android Themes] Osbor:
gunna ask again;

is there some way to get into the current widget locker beta? i really want to toy around with the sense unlockers with removable clock
[Android Themes] nickdc986:
dont know why, but quickpic opens up automatically when try to set a new widgetlocker wallpaper...
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Really? Weird, it's never even given me the option and I absolutely hate the stock gallery. I wonder why it does that.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
That's because at some point you ticked the box to set it as the default.

You can clear the default in Menu/settings/Applications/Manage Applications. Find the Gallery and under Launch by Default, clear the defaults. Next time you want to view an image you'll be asked which app to choose, choose QuicPic and you'll be all set.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Nope, I've already tried. Doesn't have any defaults set. I can't use it for WL what-so-ever.
[Android Themes] Vivasanti:
Hi guys loving this app, I'm sure its. Been asked before but....

Is there anyway to get a unread SMS count on my SMS slider icon on the lockscreen?

I know about the unread SMS app on the market but I don't think this works they way I want it to, I'm using handcent BTW.
[Android Themes] ekidd14:
Had WL working on my cappy running cm7 and also when i was on andromeda 3. Just flashed pheonix ultimate last night and now WL just force closes. Anyone know what the issue could be? I cant stand a non modified lock screen -__-
[Android Themes] varun.gid:
Hi guys!

Please if someone could help me out. I use widget locker 2.0.2. I try using the pacman mod but the full lockscreen doesnt show..onli pac man and few dots are there. The red enemy doesnt show on the lock screen!? Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!
[Android Themes] adianlorenzana:
Hey guys, I'm having a problem with widget locker. Every time I restart my phone, my custom lockscreen slider is replaced by one of the stock ones, depending on what kind of slider the custom one was based off of.

I'm running CM7.0.2 using the latest incredikernel, on a droid incredible

Thanks in advance for any help anybody can provide :)
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Have you let the phone fully boot and then turn the screen off then on? It takes some time before my lockscreen is converted on reboot, same on the wifes phone.
[Android Themes] RJSH_1727:
Hi, I am not able to view my Themes. I've downloaded like 5 or 6 of them directly onto my phone via the website. They're not listed in my Themes. I've Rebooted my phone and everything, but still don't see where I can change my Slider themes. Thanks for any assistance!
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Copy the .wltheme.zip's to /data/telsacoilsw.widgetlocker

That might solve it.
[Android Themes] tt0204:
Wish:

1.Sense 3.0!!! At least method to unlock.

2.Slider add some event such as on press, when height>x, etc. (very difficult and proves that you are awsome if you did it)

3.Different direction to unlock. e.g. up, diagonal, pinch.

4.No colours in anchor zone.

And huge thanks for the awsome app!
[Android Themes] skribblize:
i think there's a setting in WL under 'advanced' that lets you disable the stock lock. there is on mine, so you may want to check it out.

hope this helps.
[Android Themes] mr.megi:
This is one of my favorite apps!

I was wondering if we could have a "Galaxy S" unlock style too :)
[Android Themes] Smabbage:
I wish there was some way to get the Sense slider without the clock! :mad:

I have a decent slider but it's all screwed up since the clock is ever present. I just wanna create man!! :cool:
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
There isn't any colors in the anchor zone?
[Android Themes] tt0204:
Background colour?

Never mind I am not rotating my screen anyway.:p
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Are you talking about the dark spot? You can get rid of that.
[Android Themes] guuff:
I too would like to know how to get rid of the sense clock, it really limits customization. Thanks!

[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Not quite understanding what your issue is but you don't need to restart the phone after you put the themes in the folder. You're doing that for nothing.
[Android Themes] runjhun:
finally got it working from the help of niteowl 360 but it always load on top of the screen chk image .how to put it in bottom

thanks nightowl for ur help now someone help in in configuring it at the bottom of screen
[Android Themes] Little Dragon:
did you try holding on it??? and then dragging?
[Android Themes] runjhun:
look as u see the pic it always load on top of screen while when i drag down it enter into homescreen of launcherpro. beside when i tap on it for long time it gives me an option to remove it from screen as recycle bin shows at the bootom so i drag it it goes into recycle bin and gets removed from screen.

i tried both ways there must be something to do wth the settings to make it show in bottom i believe
[Android Themes] shhbz:
just press on the slider fr some time then drag it slowly downward when it becomes red moving into recylce bin just keep it liitle up and it will settle properly to ur screen just dont let it fall inside recylce bin
[Android Themes] runjhun:
great great finally got it working thanks for ur proper explanation

thank you
[Android Themes] Andy_How2Droid:
Thanks for these writeups and tips dude! Made picking up theming this and applying it a breeze!
[Android Themes] vampir4997:
Would it be possible to be able to open the app drawer from widgit locker? With the ability to use a custom icon?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yes. You just have to add it as an activity. If you use let's say, the stock slider, just configure it, go to shortcuts, activities, etc. Then change the icon. I don't think you can do it with the stock launcher though. I doubt you use it but still.
[Android Themes] anton2009:
Is there any way to get around widgets disappearing from WL after a reboot on CM7.0.2? Or is that only happening to me...?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Not yet. I'm pretty sure it's just the Theme Manager and not CM. I'm on Liquid and I have the same issue so it has to do with the TM. Plus, Widget Locker warns you that you have it installed and it might cause issues.
[Android Themes] vampir4997:
When you are making a custom slider there is no option for shortcuts, and under the shortcuts menu there is not an option for activity
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yeah there is. It will say slide to configure, this is only for Motorola slider, and you click shortcuts, I use LP so it shows the LP icon and it says activities next to it. Does the same for ADW. You can also just add a shortcut to the screen and choose activities but can't do a custom icon for that one.

Theme request

Hi guys,

Can someone make this theme?

It's from @firetiger screenshot
[Android Themes] guuff:
anyone know how to take the clock off of the sense slider??
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
You can't until the WL update is released.
[Android Themes] guuff:
thank you!
[Android Themes] bingobadgo:
I know this is probably a basic question but how do I get the ADW Notifier notifications to show on the lockscreen?

At the moment I have two sliders, one for unlock/ring mode and the other for handcent/gmail. I want the latter to show an unread count for each item. I have installed adw notifier and my home is ADW Ex so I think I am set up right, but I dont know where to go next.
[Android Themes] th3taman:
Can't wait... :D
[Android Themes] Arielo1:
this could be the most unclear tutorial i have ever read ....

how about something more clear with more details png sizes etc....
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
What I did was take existing themes and break them down. All of the sizes are there. Android and iphone sliders require the single black pixel. Rotary and sense sliders do not.

If you are looking for a specific style slider, I can give more info.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
It does have png sizes. I used it to make an iPhone slider and it worked perfectly fine.

His background part of the slider is 420x152. And a slider of 112x152.

Make a background, stick a black pixel at the top center, zoom in about 200x to do so. Make a slider and line it up, save it. Make a preview, etc. and you'll be good to go.
[Android Themes] adrian2pm:
i just bought this app. how do you set it to skip to the next song with the volume control while the screen is off? i am on cm7..thanks
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Doesn't CM7 have that as an option as part of the ROM?
[Android Themes] adrian2pm:
it does but when i enable widget locker it just turns up the volume when i hold the volume up and wakes the screen up..how do i keep it the screen off while pressing the volume

FIGURED IT OUT!!

THANK yall...
[Android Themes] Kreeker:
Hey Guys!

How do you change the position of the trash can in widget locker, or how do you make it so you can place a slider or widget on the absolute bottom of the screen?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Just drag it down there and kind of move it around to the side and stuff until it isn't red. Usually, your finger has to be on the trash can for it to delete it. So, just do it a little to the side. And if you need to, move it over some afterwards.
[Android Themes] Kreeker:
Lol that was easy :) Thank you!
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Anytime:) Haha
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
By any chance does anyone have a link to a post in this thread that explains how to make vertical sliders (sense style).
[Android Themes] Aeze:
/edit: I made a mistake, when I zipped it the files weren't in a folder. I also didn't prefix the pngs with iphone, I thought I could give them my theme name as the prefix. Works fine now. ^^
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
I've tried to do this, and it just won't stay down there, it bounces right back up the minute I let it go :confused:
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Just download a theme and look at it. I say that because you only have to edit one image. You just make a png that's 72x72 and name it sense_preview. And that will be just a picture or whatever to know what the theme is. Then make the slider, name it slider_sense and it's size will be 480x300.
[Android Themes] s1l3nt:
hold on the slider or widget until the arrows apear to resize and just pull the bottom arrow and the top arrow down to get it to the bottom.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
I'm assuming you're referring to a widget? Go to settings>Look and feel>Layout, and you'll see the phone that's in there, and you'll see arrows on it, drag them all the way down to the bottom of the phone. That will take away the anchors. That's what is causing it go bounce back up.
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
No, I was referring to the slider. I'll fiddle with it some more.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Oh, really? Hmm, make sure you don't have any widgets down there, maybe transparent ones.
[Android Themes] eieio1122:
Make the theme work?

I'm having a similar issue with a theme that I downloaded from page 1 (of the themes thread). How did niteowl help get this going?
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
Thanks, is there any way to remove the time from slider?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Not until the update. A lot of people seem to be thinking that you make the slider so that it doesn't show the clock, but it's just an option that comes with the update.
[Android Themes] sabret00the:
Thanks, I'll eagerly but patiently await the update then.
[Android Themes] :
Hi all. My first post here.

I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of app this guy's using on the missed sms/call count, and which clock theme he's using?

[Android Themes] trax26:
Question:

is that possible to make a wp7 locksreen ?

i meen, for a 480X800 phone:

-creat a 480X800 slider left with wallpaper pic of our choice

-creat a background _3.png 480X800 transparent

then put slider grid in full screen

put slider on vert ( resizing)

slide the "big" left button on the up to unlock
[Android Themes] dylandaniel91:
I know this is probably a stupid question... But what program are you using on your computer to create the custom locks?
[Android Themes] zHk3R:
Photoshop or GIMP.
[Android Themes] helllmonkey:
Once the theme is in the Themes folder on the SD card, open the app drawer and open widget locker. Long press on the screen and select custom slider. Pick your theme from the dropdown.
[Android Themes] :
And it was! Thanks a lot :)
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
10 pages into a Q&A on this app, and nothing tells you how to install/set up a theme you downloaded from the widget locker theme thread. That's ridiculous. I shouldn't even have to use search for something like this.
[Android Themes] eieio1122:
Making theme work...

Yes, I downloaded it into the themes folder. Then I tried both INSTALL and INSTALL & ADD, but it doesn't show up as an option when selecting customer slider....

The theme is post #9 by matt_jackson on the themes thread. I like how the lockscreen has alot of relevant information available (weather, calendar agenda, missed calls/sms/email). My car is my office and I leave my phone in the cradle all day and like to be able to see that information. If anyone knows of a similar theme that I can make work, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Probably because of how simple it is? And actually there is plenty of talk about where to put the sliders you download in this thread. And since you have the app, you should know how to add a slider by now. Not to mention the app comes with instructions.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
LMAO!! The point of a tutorial is to do it step from step assuming the reader knows nothing. The OP didn't even list what program he was in. He just stated to open a new project. Open a new project in .....??? That's why a guy had to ask a couple posts up what he was in. It's a piss poor tutorial.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
So i created these files, and then the instructions say that the files should look like this. what program is that? There is absolutely no reference to it. The program is the one in the tutorial it shows after walking you through building the pngs. It says HTCWildfire....

I am at the point where I have these files but no idea what to do with them. Some people are saying to open the orginal apk and overwrite, but doesn't say what to overwrite. This is horribly confusing and so many posts to go through, ughh.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
A tutorial on how to make a slider. You asked about how to apply it. You don't need a tutorial on how to apply when there is tons of talk in this thread about how to do that. You want to know why 10 pages in you didn't find anything? Because the 10 pages in you looked at, were that of the old theme thread, which is what this was when you had to mod the apk rather than making a theme. It's now been changed to a FAQ so you're going to have to look a little further back. But you were too busy complaining to ask.

Put the file that you made in a folder. Then send that folder to a zipped folder with (theme name).wltheme
[Android Themes] mkcm97:
dude... you also need to write a tutorial expecting the reader to use common sense. Which you clearly are not. so maybe we should question your reading/ inferring skills rather than kimbos tutorial. you need to use your common sense... nuff said.

no need to start a flame war.. just wanted to share how i viewed the situation.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
I was complaining, it's frustrating as hell. So this is an faq for making the slider but you are saying the applying it part is no longer valid? This is the only faq I see for widget locker and this is linked from the widget locker theme thread. I apology for the frustration but it really is difficult when people don't do tutorials assuming you are a beginner. How else are you supposed to learn. I do tons of research and try my best to not have to ask questions and make threads longer, but this thread could have been much much shorter if it was more succinct.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
My point...is that the question you were originally asking is answered when you first open the app. That's all. This used to be the theme thread but he changed it because there was a new theming system and changed this to a FAQ. Kimbo provided the only needed tutorial. No, he didn't originally specify the program he was using, but, now you know. He's using PS, but you can use Gimp just as easy. It doesn't matter, either works. And the thread isn't short because it's part of an old thread. So, the length of the thread would be long anyway.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
So you are saying that me knowing what program he is using should be common sense. Something you figure out in the natural course of growing? That's ridiculous and your foolish if you think that. I asked what the program was. That is in NO WAY common sense.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
You asked how to set the theme up, not what program you needed in order to make one. You even pointed out that Kimbo stated what program he was using to another member a few posts above yours.

Anyway, if you need help with anything, just let me know.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
Well, I can't get the background to appear and I put a black dot. Does the black pixel go behind the background. Is the background supposed to fill the whole 420X152 template? It looks like the slider in the op's example isn't filling the whole template, but in the pic of it in the folder it looks like it's a full background. Last thing does anybody know how to change the size of the brush to pixels rather than scaled. Perhaps my problem is it isn't exactly one pixel?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Just zoom in like, 200x and add a black pixel. I used the pencil when I did and it worked, and the dot is tiny with the pencil so you should be fine.

And no, it's not supposed to unless you just want it to, but most people don't have it fill the whole thing up. It would make the background pretty big.

But, just use the pencil instead of the brush and you should be good.
[Android Themes] mkcm97:
My point was, is I think you should be a little less critical about kimbo's tutorial. You are correct it is not necessarily common sense, but you can clearly tell hes using a photo editing program, and tbh it doesn't reallly matter which one.

but lets stop the arguing and just ask your questions, and they will be answered :D
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
ugh, tried the pencil, just having no luck with this. The png is attached. I even made a small 1x1 measured in pixels and filled it with black. Still didn't work.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Is the entire background black? That might be the issue. Try making it like, 3 pixels shorter. Then add the dot at the very top. That way the background and the pixel are separated by a row of transparent pixels. It might not be able to identify the pixel if it's a black dot on a black background.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
That png is actually 150 in height, with the black dot at the top in those last 2 pixels. I actually made the slider background part even smaller like it shows in the op and then put the dot at the top, to no avail :-(
[Android Themes] mkcm97:
hey buddy, what you do is make the image 152 pixels high. then put the dot on the very top pixel, that dot that you have their is maybe 10x10 pixels, it needs to be 1x1
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
He had it 152. He meant the part that says Fringe and all this is 150px high, with 2 rows of pixels above it with the black dot on the top row. Fixed now though.
[Android Themes] 2leaponover1:
Yes, DJ Carpenter fixed it for me, still don't know what i was doing wrong lol. Thanks for your help guys!
[Android Themes] gmam23:
Probly really simple but couldn't figure out. How do you get rid of the shadow on the screen, takes over bottom of screen really annoying? Thanks in advance

[Android Themes] gmam23:
Sweet thanks man.

Is here anyway to overlay widgets on top of each other? Also... for beautiful widgets... if I choose to have a certain weather icon, is there a way to have one icon be on WL and a different one appear for my homescreen?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Naw. I don't think he'll add that. I asked him about it once and there's a eisk of people not being able to unlock their phones.

And yeah, but they'll have the same skin.

[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Yo, try this out.

I'm not sure if there was anything wrong with the dot you had, but I erased it and added a new one. Also, your png sizes were messed up. Look at the new one I attached and see the sizes and what not:)
