Change the FIRST location in the Apple Weather app.
Yes. If you have the theme you want to replace it with you just copy and paste the images where the original stock images are.
Google the name of each image for the slider. Find the location of the file. Back up the old file (rename to whatever.png.backup) and then paste the themed slider images in place. Then respring.
That's what I do.
You have to edit the .png.
You do everything the same as a theme, but you just have to manually swap out the .png files.
thanks
but can you be more specific, where are the png files located?
and im no good in photoshop i just want to make the clock red, can i download the red png files somewhere online?
If you find any theme or image of what you want online you can put it where you want it. I think it's UILCDBackground or something like that. probably in /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app/
thanks
im in the sprinboard folder
but what is the name of the png i need to replace? for the clock
Not sure. Look at a theme or google it. That's about all I'd do. I said I thought it's UILCD something

how can i use this unlock slider without winterboard?
Yes, do what I said. Open up the theme and google all the images in the folder to see where you need to paste them.
I'm happy with the native rendering for LockInfo but I'd like to use the Tea LockBackground theme (Tea Time-Lapse in Cydia) for the lockscreen background. Is there a way to do this without Winterboard? I've had no luck using the instructions in this thread....
I've got lockinfo working perfect without winterboard
also, I've almost managed to theme my iphone without winterboard, by replacing the stock graphics. almost means I can not find any trace of stock files corresponding to images found in UIImages folder of themes. assuming they are assembled into .artwork files or embedded into the code some way - correct me if I'm wrong
another question - is there any way to teach lockinfo use weather data from app Fiz Weather - the best one, after me, and the most accurate. cause yahoo and apple data actually sucks - it's always wrong
and one more - in the Info.plist file of a theme there is some css styling for the springboard, like calendar icon letter sizes and colors. I checked everywhere I could trying to find this styling for original springboard... no luck. any suggestions? maybe I could add this styling to some other Info.plist?
thanks...

.artwork files can be edited, but not so easily. I've never done it.
You'll have to check the settings for WeatherInfo if you're using native rendering.
As far as theming with the Info.plist, I have no clue. I keep my phone mostly stock.
Sorry.
Slider without winterboard
Hi,
First of all unzip the file. It will give you two folders, one com.apple.springboard and other com.apple.telephonyui.
Step 1:-
Open com.apple.springboard, open en.proj, copy springboard.strings and paste it to /System/Library/CoreServices/springboard.app/english.Iproj. Soemtimes english.iporj can be en.Iproj.
Step2:-
open com.apple.telephonyui, copy all files and paste all files to /system/Library/privateframeworks/telephonyui.framework.
Do not paste into english.iproj
Better if you take a backup.
Respring and Enjoy!

Not that I'm aware of. You still need to Winterboard to activate the themes. You have to use a program like Fugu on the Mac to establish an ssh session and then transfer the files over.
Hi all,
I'm not sure if what I'm trying to do is possible, but I was hoping someone might be able to answer it for me. I originally set up lockinfo and themed it with Winterboard, but decided I didn't really like it A) being on the lock screen, and B) didn't like the slowdown caused by Winterboard. So, after uninstalling everything and mulling things over, I remembered seeing an option to have the lockinfo screen on the first page of the springboard instead of the lockscreen. I liked this idea a lot, and decided to give it a try, but this time without Winterboard (after reading through this thread).
So, my question is...can I still theme lockinfo without winterboard, and with it on the first screen of springboard and not on the lockscreen? I had lockinfo themed just the way I wanted during the first setup, and after removing it, I saved all the files I had altered and tried moving them over to the Lockinfo/plugins folder on the iPhone, but none of those changes were applied. Anyway, back to the gist, is it possible? And if so, could someone guide me in the right direction?
Thanks in advace!!

There should be directions in the beginning of this thread and throughout it about what exactly to do.
If you still have questions about specifics then ask there but also post what theme you are trying to use as well.
I'm using the Grupppled Lockinfo.theme that I acquired from this website. Following Rubalkalra's advice, I dropped this into the Library/Lockinfo folder, resprang and restarted my phone, but still no theme. Not sure what step I'm missing, as I tired to follow the directions at the beginning of this thread (from step 3 as I'd already removed Winterboard before trying this again).

Read the VERY first post here if you want to use the HTML theme for Gruppled. I posted step by step what to do to install the theme. Obviously you can skip the parts where I tell you how to install LockInfo. You have that already.
Your other option is to use the new Gruppled Native theme for LockInfo. It looks like Gruppled (made by the same guy) but runs with Native Rendering.

That's where Gruppler posts the new Native theme. I'd suggest this as a better method.
Sorry, I guess the first post in this thread just isn't helping me that much.
Not sure.
Did you get either Dim or Dark? Those are the native ones. I'm not sure what the file contents are because I don't use them. Also I am unable to download the files here to check for you.
I can guess though what you'll want to look for...
section_header.png will be the headers. There may be one for the Clock plugin specifically too. That one you have to put in the /Library/LockInfo/Plugins/com.ashman.clockplugin/ folder. Not the real filepath, but should be enough to get you on your way.
If there is a .plist file, put it in the root /Library/LockInfo folder.
