This is a pretty incredible new lock screen theme: it includes rotating wallpapers, animated bars that fill as seconds/minutes/hours are added to the clock, and a hidden date display that is revealed by touching the screen. But even with all that it manages to feel pretty minimal:

Definitely worth checking out his other themes as well!

This is beautiful! My notifications are coming up as invisible so its hard to read the text since it's white. Any ideas?

It only happens right when they are new and centered on the lock screen. However, when it's been dismissed it is at the top with a grey BG and looks very clean.

[Massie]

If you go into the theme, look in Bundles/SpringBoard and you'll find the BulletinListLockScreenFirstAlertBG image...that's what makes it transparent. Delete it or rename it to use the native one.

[prophecyc2]

PERFECT!

Did that and respring and it worked flawless. I didn't know HTML could accept notifications now. That's awesome.

I'm reading on the link you posted about trying to change the BG and having issues so I might try to mess with that later.

this does look amazing.. almost makes me want to.. jailbreak?

question for anyone using this theme..

when using the native turn-by-turn navigation while in lockscreen mode how does the theme behave? does it go away? or is it underneath? this will determine if i attempt this

Quick test (not in car) shows the usual map interface. Only part of the theme I see is the slider.

do i need to load anything else as well? (clockhide etc..)

edit: also where do native notifications show? up high or middle of the screen?

I assume you need it but I already run it (edit, just checked and you will want it). Native notifications show in the usual place with a transparent popup, then up high for stacked notifications. Or you can install a theme I put together this afternoon called ClearLowNotifications, which moves everything down below the bars:

Ah awesome, thanks Massie! Assume it's compatible with 4S and won't go off screen due to the iPhone 5 screen estate this is accommodating for?

Just answered my own question, doesn't seem to work well on 4S, thanks anyway though.

Is there anyway I can edit the file to drop the notification lower?

To adjust the notification height up OR down just resize the BarLCD image in the theme; taller will push notifications lower; a shorter LCD will move them up.

Awesome! Thanks so much for the help

^ Resizing doesn't seem work for me. I tried to keep the BarLCD image in same size ratio and just increasing the height and replacing the image and respring and doesn't seem to have taken effect. Oh well no biggie. Thanks anyway.

Worked for me. This is what I ended up with. Steps I took was sent it to my email edited through photoshop then resent it back to myself.

Question for you though Massie. Is there a way to get rid of the dark area below the notification?

[BLiNK]

loved the theme but did not like how the native notifs looked no matter how i set it up

[prophecyc2]

I actually like them stacked high!

[BLiNK]

this is EXACTLY when infoshade (LockInfo) would work perfectly

How much taller did you make the image (you only need to adjust the height, not the width btw)? It's possible you made it too tall, which would mean the notifications are pushed off the bottom of your viewable screen area. There isn't really a ton of space between the bars and the slider area to begin with. Other than that (and assuming you used the exact same file name) there's no reason it shouldn't work.

What exactly does that do?

Do you have other notifications in the background that haven't been dealt with yet? The only time I've seen anything like that is when you have other notifications that haven't been acted on yet but which are still in your Notification Center. (In other words it's not part of the theme.) Most often I see it when I have unread messages from BiteSMS:



Hope that makes sense.

Well that is a biteSMS text. So I guess that's the issue. Not that big a deal though. Thanks for the help again.
