What phone are you using? Cause WidgetLocker should automatically pass your own lock screen when you unlock it. Every now and then I'll see a flash of mine but it goes away like it's unlocking. If your phone is an older model that may be the problem.
[Android Themes] jddunkley:
Haha I must have been really impatient when I was trying to create that rotary and didn't try all my options. The slider image just had to be named slider_rotary.png. Wow, thank you me. I will post them on the themes thread :)

Thank you for the link! Now I can play around a bit more with the templates.
[Android Themes] rgn2000:
On the first page it shows how to create a theme. Can someone tell me what the software is for creating the theme??
[Android Themes] jddunkley:
Do you mean for image editing? All you have to do is edit images like it says and save them as .png files. I like to use GIMP, it's free and pretty simple to use.

Here the link for the actual WidgetLocker theming page:

http://widgetlocker.teslacoilsw.com/themes-doc/creating-themes/

If you go there, at the bottom of the page they have the generic zip files and you can see what each .png needs to be named to create the theme. Hope this helps!

Hi, I just bought Widgetlocker a few hours ago, and I'm wondering if anyone has posted a rotary slider with the vertical direction reversed, as in a right semicircle, not a left one. It's late and I don't want to look at 250 pages of themes
[Android Themes] Carbz:
Scaling

Hi guys, first time post here, and I hope it's not too stupid of a question.

I just bought the app on my Nexus S.

I made my own theme yesterday using the guilde at page #1 of this topic, and I made both the slider height and background height 152 pixels.

Now when I tried the theme I noticed that the slider seems to be scaled down a fair bit - is there no way to stop it from doing that? The OP states that "slider" height is 150 pixels, so it shouldnt really scale that much down? Does it vary from phone to phone?

Help!!!!

New to widget Locker. Long story short. I put a custom slide locker on and I get this ugly widget background that I can't get rid of. Can anyone help me?
[Android Themes] nick177th:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Please ignore my previous post above. I do have a legit question though. Under "settings" It gives you the option for an alternate wallpaper. When I choose one, WL doesn't display it. Am I misunderstanding what "alternate" means in the settings or am I doing something wrong?

Help with customizing my lockscreen

So I have WidgetLocker on my phone and I'm trying to customize my lockscreen to look similar to a WP7 lockscreen.

These are two examples of ones I'd like my phone to look like:

I'm currently using Launcher 7 as my home launcher, and just want everything to look similar/I like the look of the lockscreen on the phones.

Basically I want to customize a clock like the first picture, but have unread text message/phone calls and maybe a calendar/appointment thing.

Any help to customize my lockscreen like the WP7s would be greatly appreciated thank you.

I also really like toosurreal01's lockscreen how he has the weather clock and "phone" "text" and "gmail" but I don't know how to get mine to look like that AND to have unread stuff for those things.

Samsung Continuum ticker

I searched for answer, but didn't find a post. On the SGS Continuum SCH-I400, the ticker at the bottom does not unlock with Widgetlocker. It will unlock after a phone call, but otherwise stays locked. Is there any way to get it to unlock with the screen? I have messed with a bunch of the settings and am rooted, but still can't get it to work right.

Thanks

Help needed for a first timer!

As mention on my title, got my htc desire z last few days.

First problem:

Got this cool app widgetlocker and bought it but it seems i couldn't find the settings on my phone.

Secondly, the default 10x10 grid is big and covered almost half of my screen.

Is there any chance to remove it or reduce the length so that it fits like the CowonD3Lock.

Thanks in advance.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
To get to settings, just open WidgetLocker, press the menu buttons, then click settings.

For the grid size, go to Lock and Feel in settings>layout, and chabge the size to whatever you want. 10x10 is good though, gives you a better grid size and you can just resize the widget accordingly.
[Android Themes] SwiftJudgement:
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted in here to keep the official theme thread clean. Also thanks to all the slide designers for their hard work. That thread was really good until about page 10, and I ended up getting a few great sliders.

[Android Themes] Lakitu:
Is it possible to have the slider come down vertically toward the bottom of the screen? I have this idea for Link and the Triforce. I have the png files made up , but when I tried it out, I got the standard horizontal style, obviously. I also don't want the slider to bounce back, but I think that is not possible.

Perhaps a sense style slider without the clock.

Theme will chabge to deafult on reboot!!!

Please help me, my widgetlocker will change the theme to the deafult when I reboot

The widget still work fine. Now I have to remove them and add the new everytime I got a reboot...

I'm confuse with this problem, because It's getting worse than before(1/2).

Now it's "sometimes" won't change to the deafult (1/10)

Is this the A2ext's problem?

Is it possible to change the wallpaper on lockscreen with widgetlocker on a Captivate? I tried to do as stated in the OP but,

/data/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/files/wallpaper.png

doesn't exist for me. I have,

/data/data/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker/lib

Is this still possible?
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
You change it in the settings under look and feel.

Unless it's different for a Captivate?
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
No, it's the same. Menu/Settings/Look & Feel/checkmark Alternative Wallpaper and then Select Wallpaper.

[Android Themes] clumsywob:
How about a way to have Widget Locker auto rotate if auto rotate is on?

The only thing I see are WL>Look & Feel>Screen Orientation>System Default, Force Portrait, Force Landscape, or Sensor.

The problem is System Default doesn't rotate the lock screen is Auto-rotate is on. FP and FL are obvious. And Sensor only rotates the lockscreen.

The problem is, I only want the lock screen to rotate when auto-rotate is on. My reason behind this: I have a car mount for my phone and I am using Tasker to turn on auto-rotate when my phone connects to my car bluetooth.

My goal is to have WL auto-rotate only when the OS have auto-rotate enabled.

Any ideas on this?

does anyone have a unread count for exchange using the default email client? i can not use k9 mail because it doesn't support exchange 2010. i need the unread count for my work email and it is a pain not having it on the lock screen.

I'd like to make a request for a theme.

Is it possible to make a theme like the lock screen for Sentio UI? In this video, http://vimeo.com/18979345, you can see it at the very beginning. I'm just interested in the lock and arrow, not the date or anything at the top. I'd try to do it myself, but I'm not sure how to do a vertical lock slider.
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
Regarding the arrow, take a look here:

That blow my fu** mind off. Didnt even know that can be done.

Well.. that changes my theming inspiration.. Going to photoshop right now-> :D
[Android Themes] Artholic:
Ok.. Now i realize that it didnt.. There is just too much limits.

Would be sweet if dev could add sense-like slider go up instead down. (And btw... i dont wana be asshole, but where is option to remove clock from sense slider?)
[Android Themes] Scrupix:
It does go up or down the slider ;)

To make the slider go up do the following:

-select theme

-in the menu where is the theme deactivate right side(drag and set to disabled) hit save and now resize it to make it to move vertical instead of horizontal

And that's it, I tested on my phone and it works 100% to drag the arrow up ;)

Regarding the option to remove the clock from sense slider, it will be for sure implemented in the next updates, Kevin said that it will do this but he doesn't know when exactly, sow be patient ;)

Hey, I have a question. I am using this theme and would like to use the radial unlock. However, when I use it, the radial arc is solid gray, not the translucent black like in the screenshot. Does this happen for anyone else?

I have also modified the them to use the r2d2 lock screen icons and some other Star Wars icons, but I am waiting for the author to give his ok before I upload it since I am using his sliders.

I am also trying to figure out how to remove the buttons/bubbles from the sliders and radial arc for a cleaner look. If anyone knows how I can do that, I would appreciate the help. I am new to photoshop and having a hell of a time figuring it out. I can easily do it in paint, but when I load it in photoshop to fix the background transparecny, it doesnt come out right.
[Android Themes] Artholic:
Oh, I just ment that there is not option to unlock up in sense style slider. :)

That option could let u use bigger images.
[Android Themes] bigsmitty64:
Thanks so much! Guess I didn't look to hard huh? :D

[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Are you using WidgetLocker 2.0, or are you on the older one?
[Android Themes] Artic King:
Oh,srry. I Use 2.0
[Android Themes] reinbeau:
Ok, is the zip file properly named? It has to end with .wltheme.zip in order for it to open with WidgetLocker.

Yes.

Some reinstall and rebooting did the trick :)

The higher the grid size, the smaller it looks. But, that doesn't really matter because you can resize them anyway. I use 10x10 and have no issues.

ALSO, I haven't played with WL much lately other than changing sliders and Widgets, and what happened to being able to put widgets at the bottom? Where the iPhone slider goes.

Last time I tried, you could

You can drop the slider at the bottom just hold it off to the side of the trash can (where it doesn't glow red). If that doesn't work you may be able to resize the widget into the correct spot, depending on the widget

I am looking for a way to do something that I thought was possible but cant seem to find the setting.

On the lock screen i have a few apps and a dialer slider. If I open these apps or slide the dialer it should not ask for a password (stock screen is set to ask for passcode) but if I try to actually unlock it should still require the password.

edit: just to clarify since I think I may not have been to clear.

I had to put a password on my phone. my nephew was found using it to look up porn at night. hes currently 13 and my sister would kill me if I let him. I used widget locker for a while and it has the basics like my dialer, mms, gmail, and yahoo mail clients accessible from locked screen. I would like to be able to still open those easily like while driving and not really able to easily enter the rather long lock code I created. but in order to unlock it and gain access to the web or other apps I would still like it to require the passcode.

[Android Themes] niteowl360:
Here's my first attempt

Moved to te correct thread ...
[Android Themes] SirSigma:
Okay, this will probably sound lame, but I don't know what else to do anymore.

I was using a theme from the themes thread for a while, and I wanted to personalize it just for my own use by opening the images on Photoshop, changing them around, and them packing them back into a zip file. I only changed the iphone_slider_left and iphone_slider_right files. After that, I made a new zip file and made sure the theme names were consistent as I put the folder into the zip, then transferred it over to my phone.

Now when I try to open it to see how it looks, Widgetlocker won't find it at all. I even already tried checking the black pixel, and it's still there. I try opening it on my CM7 phone's file manager, but on the list of apps, Widgetlocker doesn't show up as an option. Anybody know what I possibly did wrong or if I need to try something else? Please help.

Oh, and I checked the image names if they were correct, too. Still no go.

EDIT: I feel like a HUGE dope now, but I'll just edit this in to help anybody else out who has the same problem. Turns out I had my images within a folder within a folder within the zip, which threw WidgetLocker off. I fixed this accordingly to be images within a folder within the zip and now it's looking good.
[Android Themes] DJ Carpenter:
Unzip it. If it's in a normal folder it reads them better.
