Anyone have any idea how to make Custom Widget fonts work on iOS 4.1 ? For example I tried the Cyborg Lockscreen by SuperVixen and the Caution Lockscreen and Springboard Widgets by IrishVixen. Both of them dont work for me.

I dunno if its the way the html is coded or the ttf file.....or it just wont work unless you upgrade beyond iOS 4.1.

Thanks for any advice, cheers.
 
Hey LEXS, did you release this widget already? It's so beautiful

I'd like to know the same. I happened to come across a Heiti TC font in one mod and I like it so I've been using it for everything but it'd be nice to have other options. I didn't install the font in the System/Font/Caches folder it just happens to work with every widget I plug in.

Also, how do I change the iPod play logo that appears in the status bar? I read somewhere you have to alter a couple png's in the System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app directory but the Default_Play and FSO_play png's weren't there. Am I missing something?
 
@Bennybear and tems
please check back my previous screenshots for the updated download links

@tadad1
thats a lot of hard work! thanks for sharing your quality theme :)

Thank you I will. I like the updated ones better. Great work!

I remember reading somewhere that substantial changes were made to web/java related stuff in 4.2.1, and that included font types. I'm suspecting that's your issue. Now exactly where I read that, I couldn't tell you at this point...

While it won't get you the font that the widget was designed with, you can always change fonts in the HTML by specifying a new one under the style section for each item element. Most of the time, changing those to Helvetica will get you whatever system font you have specified. I'll sometimes use Bytafont to specify a different font for the Dialer, and then change the font listed in the HTML to "PhonepadTwo"--that way I can use a font that doesn't work well for reading mail, but looks great on a lockscreen, for example.
 
Think I'm settled for the rest of the summer. Well if I could get the weather icon for the widget-criscross to show up above the lighthouse. and if I can make the move2unlock tab to pink I'll be golden how to do any of those... please share your secrets!

Well, moving the weather icon should be pretty simple--it's either in the HTML or the CSS file (if there is one) and they're usually called weathericon. LOL It's just a matter of moving it upward by specifying a new "top" position in pixels.

Shoot me a link to the widget if you want and I'll find the right part of the code for you.

Thanks IrishVixen. I heard something similar from another member here....

So could one use a different font for say LockClock (using Bytafont) and then use that in the HTML widget (on IOS 4.1) ?

Well...I *think* it would work on 4.1. I can't say I've personally tried it as prior to upgrading to 4.2.1, I had one theme on my phone for something like 9 months (SlantedLock).

Those were the days...when my free time wasn't consumed by Photoshop and HTML... :D

Can someone post the tap to unlock that looks like the white square on the home button? I have been searching for it without success. Thanks

EDITED: As per IrishVixen's tip, (iOS 4.1) using a different font for dialer (Bytafont), you can use "PhonepadTwo" as font-family to get your lockscreen widget to show a different font from your System font.

Thanks IrishVixen and SuperVixen

Does not work on iOS 4.1, lol and Im too lazy to upgrade to 4.2.1 :p

LOL--I sat on 4.0 from a week after the first jailbreakme last summer until about two months ago. I get that.

Did you specifically try the dialer and "PhonepadTwo" (exactly as capitalized here and no spaces)? I've never tried any other combo, honestly. Supervixen had posted that tip a while back, but probably after 4.2.1 was already out.

I'm so wanting another phone to test this kind of thing on. *eyes hubby's stock phone irritably*
 

This may be a very basic question, but how do you go about installing the downloaded .zip folder? I have iPhone Explorer, so a file/folder location is all that's needed if that's how you do it. Thanks in advance, and sorry if this was already said or detailed elsewhere. I searched via MRoogle and glanced through MacThemes and couldn't find a guide anywhere.

you have been super helpful! I feel like people have become nicer on this thread over time.

I don't recall where I found the widget. I can send you the code. I'll PM you that.

EDIt: the code is WAY too long...

Zip the theme and post it to mediafile, then send me the link--it's free, you don't even have to sign up.
