Lockscreen and ipod controls

[buzzshipman]

I am using typophone 4 as my lockscreen. I like the way it looks, but I was wondering how you can change the background on that. Also my main question is that when I double click the home button to bring up the ipod controls they are not there. I have the tpyophone clockhide activated in the settings app which if i don't have that on I can bring up the ipod controls, but clock is visible. Will the ipod controls never show up if I hide the clock that way, or is there another hide clock app that will work.

You can use the updated Lockscreen Clock Hide by David Ashman, which will let you hide the clock but keep your ipod controls. See this thread: http://forums.tipb.com/jailbreak-apps-hacks-themes-forum/225055-clock-hide-update.html

Only catch is Typophone's built in clock hide might conflict. Let me know if you need a Typophone theme without it, if you run into trouble.

Oh and to change the background you need to go into the theme folder and replace it with one of your own. Just make sure you give yours the same exact name.

Thanks for the info, and yes lockscreen clockhide does conflict with typophone. If you have another that doesn't have that feature so I can use clock hide that would be awesome.

Here is the one I use. You just need to unzip it, then put the theme folder into Library/Themes. (I just gave you the default black LockBackground.png but you can replace that if you want.)

First, uninstall the one you have and then install Lockscreen Clock Hide and you should be good to go. Let me know if you have issues with anything unwanted showing up on the lock screen.

Thanks that works great

Sweet! I couldn't remember if Ashman's clock hide also hid that translucent background bar behind the clock.
