Anyone know how to change color and shape to the lock button without installing a whole theme? I like the way my phone looks now and have worked hard to get it like this. I also like where the lock button is located on the screen but i would like to change color to it and maybe even shape.
And also, anyone know how to change the "slide" text?
Any help with links/cabs or other info would be much appriciated.
Here's a pic of the how it looks now..
I wish I knew the answer. I has something to do lockscreen .cpr files in windows.

I don't know what to say mate. It's always worked for me. Perhaps ask on the HDWall thread and see if they can help there.
I've used this on the last 2 devices I've had, so there's obviously some reason why it's not working for you.
I know what I did wrong, I forgot to install Co0kiemonsters patch. Working great now, just the music tab got bit weird but I can live with that.

That's something you do in HDWall I believe.
I uploaded them for you, put them in \Windows. Save the old ones somewhere so you can go back if something goes wrong.

The only thing (I think) you can do is to remove the thing so the GPS isn't tracking where your location is. I got one with my city manually added and a one called "my place" which is not showing weather at all, I love it.

Fully transparent?
Using DC v2.06. I have a clear lockscreen, as shown below. Right now the notifications come up transparent (missed call, etc) at the bottom of the screen. With the clear lock, it's very heard to read the text. Hence why I added the extra black bar at the bottom of the phone, to make them readable.
However, that bar is ugly at the bottom! Is it possible for someone to figure out a way, through the xml file, to add a black shadow to the white notification text, so that it will still be readable with a clear lockscreen? See the default date/time text on the default lockscreen for an example of what I'm after.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

You mean like this .
When no notifications:
Missed call:
Press while screen locked:
I applied a black background, 50% transparent, that will only appear when a notification message exists.
Replace the attached in your 'layout' folder and you are good to go (removed the .txt extension).

Everything transparent is basically the completely clear lockscreen, the above adds the shadow for when notifications appear, so that the text is more readable.

Still want me to send you a link? As mentioned, it should only be necessary to get a booting ROM, to do your work, then convert back. Let me know.

Awesome. Thank you so very much! I'll have to try this in the morning.
I seem to be having a problem that I didn't notice before using this...
When my alarm goes off, I can't disable it from the lockscreen. I have to unlock my phone before I can shut off the alarm.
JsChiSurf, could you let me know if you have the same issue? I'm not saying 100% sure that this is what caused it, but it's the only change I've made recently.
Thanks!

Good question, the files are in some odd format that I do not know how to work with.

The XML files are compiled binaries. You have to use a hexeditor to modify / patch the locations in the binary you wish to change.
Is anyone else having the alarm issue with this? I have to unlock my lockscreen in order to turn off the alarm.

You changed very few things from my theme... A link to it or mentioning my name would be nice... Even the theme's name is similar... :/
I don't want to discourage you from theming but I spent a lot of time making all of those icons.
I updated mine recently too, and will continue to. Check my sig...

I wouldn't mind if you use all of the buttons & status bar background, or just certain icons in the status bar, or just the dialer,etc. using pieces from other themes is how we all get started.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

thought id try help.. been a while since ive used 2.1 though! lol (this was like the early 2.1 update we first got before all the roms came out)
1) i reckon the menu button background thing is most likely lurking in framework-res.apk in res/drawable-hdpi folder.
2) the background from the launcher is probably in launcher.apk somewhere although i used to use adw launcher so never really looked into that.
3) as for mediascape background it should be in mediascape.apk although im sure theres some background in there maybe from playlist section or something else where theres a separate background file. cant remember in which apk ul find it but i think it was along the lines of the timescape or framework-res apk's!
some help i am lol sorry.. but if ya wanna look at the old work i had and maybe figure something out then feel free to do so. link should be in signature below if needed!
hope it helps!! good luck
Can anybody point me in the right direction to change the appearance of the App/Phone/Personalise buttons at the bottom of the screen?
I am getting there and I can change app icons, dialer colours/graphics etc, but this one has stumped me.

What I wanted to do was to change the curved phone button on a sense ROM to a square semi-transparent one, so I dont know if I want the full theming thing or not but that thread looks really interesting and will probably answer a lot of the other questions I am building up.
Thanks for pointing it out
Personalise Button can be changed by RCMix3D Tweaks in some ROMs.
