iPhone Post your Jailbroken Home Screen (Part 2)

qkslvrgti said:
Alright, I'm very sorry to have to do this because I'm sure you all have to answer these questions all the time, but I just jailbroke my 4.2.1 phone for the first time in three years of iPhone ownership.

How can I install these widgets to my Springboard? I am trying to install LEXS' beautiful VerYsimple widget, and can't even seem to get the widget.html file readable anywhere to edit location, etc. TextEdit just shows the picture, and Dreamweaver just gives jibberish.

200 pages is tough to wade through to find one link. Anyone have a good step-by-step?

Do you have Winterboard installed? Check out Winterboard and OpenSSH, learn how to use both of those. To edit the html, try TextWrangler(if your on a Mac). You will need to use a program like CyberDuck to SSH the widget into your phone, the Winterboard to activate it. Read a little bit about Winterboard and how to SSH, then come back with more questions, I'm sue you'll have them

I've been looking through that stuff, but the only tutorials I see are installing packages with a ".theme" extension, which LEXS' widget does not.

Just place the downloaded folder into your themes folder, it will still work.

Your DockedIconLabelStyle is set not to show. copy and paste the string info from the UndockedIconLabelStyle and respring, and see if that works, or at lease get them back...

It is still not working. What I want is icon labels for all icons except the docked icons. This was working until I changed fonts:

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

	<string>margin-top:6px;margin-left:1px;width:57px;font-size: 8px;text-align:center;text-shadow: 0px 1px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4)</string>
	
	<key>CalendarIconDateStyle</key>

Do you just want a screenshot of my SB? And no, I'm not using any cydia program to disable icon labels. LEXS gave me the info.plist, it was working great, I changed fonts and now I can't get labels back for my undocked icons.

Do you have anything else activated in winterboard that has a info.plist in it
If you do place the Theme you are using above everything else.

Changing fonts should not effect your icon labels

I am on 4.2 so I have to have my Wallpaper.png in the Theme and
not directed to my photos as you can do on 4.1

I am afraid with this widget it's wallpaper in Theme
The coding that you can use to direct and get your wallpaper from photo's
I can not see working with this It took me 3 days to get HD wallpaper fully functional.
I will not go into a long explanations re this but I had to do a bit of cheating to get the wallpaper to work :)

So for now just replace Wallpaper.png with your Wallpaper

Bummer. :mad:

But thank you, nonetheless! :D I figured it had to be something in the code that was preventing me from changing it. No big deal. I really like the wallpaper that you included with the widget anyway.

Thanks!

I moved the theme to the top, I unchecked all other themes, I created a new theme with just this info.plist. Nothing works. But if I disable all themes, the labels do show up. And it definitely happened when I changed fonts, but changing them back didn't fix it either. I think I will uninstall Bytafont just to see if that changes anything.

Thanks again for the help.

Replace your current one with this one. You may need to make minor adjustments w/ color and calendar... Save and do a reboot!

Saved, resprung, rebooted. Still no icon labels. Thank you though
Edit:
Wait, I spoke to soon. I updated the plist in my theme with only the plist and it didn't work, but I replaced the on in my main theme and it worked. I now have icon labels back, thank you. I still don't want docked icon labels, but I almost don't want to try to remove them and run into this problem again. What did you have to change? What was wrong before.

I'm guessing how it was in a separate folder. To remove docked icons go into main theme folder ( where you info.plist needs to be) and make color: transparent and font size 0px in the DockedIconStyle string. Save/respring

Hey BW ... The "version" of the KruzeWidget that i have has the location and weather details on the SB at the top LHS & RHS, as well as the line of dates just above the dock down the bottom of the screen ....

in the pic that you posted of your SB "back a few pages" (like about 40 pages:)), there is no location or weather details on the SB at all ... do you have a different "version" of the Kruze Widget .... or did you "edit" those details "out" so that you only get the line of dates just above the dock down the bottom of the screen ...

can you pls post details of how you did that edit ... or a link to the version of that widget that you are using ...

i really like that look with the single date 'line or string" without the weather details ...

thank you

regards
A|T

What am I doing wrong? I added this:

Code: 
** * * * * * * <key>DockedIconLabelStyle</key>
** * * * * * * <string>visibility: hidden; color: transparent; font-size: 0px</string>

Its not working though.
