how did you get the dock to look like that? i cant get the mail or safari icon to look like that.sorry for all the questions i am new to all this and do not want to mess my phone up. thanks in advance for any help
 
After much tweaking, I'm pretty pleased with the way I now have everything on my phone. It's a hodgepodge of different themes, together with some things I've crafted on my own. I take credit only for the persistent lockscreen "reward if found" text, the transparency of the keypad, and the very minimalistic line slider (the button on the slider wasn't my design - I appropriated it from some other slider somewhere).

Not evident from these screenshots is that the background of the lockscreen and the background of the springboard randomly rotate. The lockscreen background changes every lock/unlock, while the springboard background changes every hour. They draw from a pool of over 1,000 abstract wallpapers I've gathered from various sites. Surprisingly, battery-life and performance are rock solid.

Major components:
* Icons - from Glasklart theme (available on Cydia)
* Calendar/Weather/Settings Widget on bottom of screen - from WAD Widget The widget basically is an overlay on top of my 5 icon dock. The icons for my 5 docked icons are transparent, so as not to interfere with the widget overlay, except for the text you can see up at their extreme top (settings, phone, internet, email, ipod).
* Daily Calendar on Lockscreen - from Lock Calendar (available on Cydia)
* Lost/Reward text - I just added the text I wanted to the HTML of the lockscreen's HTML file, via SSH and a text editor.
* Rotating Wallpapers/Lockscreens - from the instructions found here
* Slider - borrowed from Milk theme, and tweaked the graphics a bit
 
I sure like that 'Please call xxxxxxxxxxx if found' bit! :eek:

The blanked-out number is my home phone number: since I passcode protect my phone, there's not really a good way for someone who picks it up to figure out whose it is and how to get it back to me. So I put my home # there. I figure the $100 is a large enough reward to motivate someone to try to get it back to me, while still being significantly less than I would have to pay to replace the phone.
 
how did you get that beautiful weather lockscreen. I was looking for something similar to that....

You can find it here: http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewforum.php?id=24&p=2 (mine has been modified from the original obviously)

It's pretty handy. When I press the date, the calendar folds down to reveal the full calendar. It also displays missed calls, emails and texts as well as upcoming appointments without having to unlock the screen.

Very clever... I like that idea a lot. Does it get old having to unlock it every time you take it out of your pocket? It would be nice if there was a toggle in SBS.

Yeah, I knew. That's what I liked about it ;)

Iam after comments about my tweaks on how I could improve them further.

Lockscreen




Homescreen


WOW!! :eek: Could you package that up for us!? Or PM it to me? :D:D

Thanks
 
iNav I assume?? Which theme?

And to the poster above with the reward message on the lockscreen: How did you do that? I keep my phone locked all the time so that would be good for me.

Yeah It's called the iSmiley mod, you should be able to find it on Cydia. Just make sure you have iNav installed and have the iSmiley mod on top of iNav in Winterboard.
