Ok. This would apply to ANY theme, but for example's sake, let's say I'm using "Illumine" theme. (which I am)

On the lockscreen, where it says "Slide to Unlock", HOW DO I CHANGE THOSE WORDS?

For example, if you use the "Silent Hill" theme, it says "SET ME FREE" instead of "Slide to Unlock". I know it will involve SSH'ing, I'm just curious which files I would have to modify.

Anyone know?

Go to themes/NAME/bundles/com.apple.springboard/en.iproj and open up SpringBoard.strings (if there is no file, make one).

It should look like this, change the text accordingly or leave it blank to display nothing

<?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">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>ALARM_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string> I'm Up! </string>
<key>AWAY_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string> unlock me! </string>
<key>CALENDAR_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string> </string>
<key>CF_USER_NOTE_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string> </string>
<key>SLIDE_TO_ANSWER</key>
<string> </string>
<key>SLIDE_TO_CALL_BACK</key>
<string> </string>
<key>SLIDE_TO_CANCEL</key>
<string> Stop Syncing! </string>
<key>SLIDE_TO_LISTEN</key>
<string> </string>
<key>SMS_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string> </string>
<key>TIMER_LOCK_LABEL</key>
<string> </string>
</dict>
</plist>

Ahh, I somewhat see. Though I don't see the exact line I would need for a basic unlock, I do see the lists of other functions.

Thank you.

Lion,

What did you use to read the "SpringBoard.strings" file? I ask because I used word but i can not save it as a string file. :confused:

Edit: Do you have to have a mac?

Edit: I figured it out N/M :cool:
