[How to] Create a simple lockscreen theme - Coffee - Oct 30, 2011
Welcome to my next tutorial, this tutorial will be showing you how to make a basic lockscreen.
Step 1:
Create your theme folder and call it themename.theme, this is how winterboard knows its a theme, inside this you put your 320x480 wallpaper called LockBackground.png and also a folder called Bundles. Grammar is important in this.

Step 2:
Inside your Bundles folder you want to create 1 (or 2) folders. I'll explain what these folders do:
com.apple.Springboard, inside this folder you can put your own custom system strings files so that for example you can change your slide to unlock text etc.
com.apple.TelephonyUI, this is where you put the images that you want your lockscreen slider to be.

Step 3:
You will now want to create the images for your lockscreen, these should be named:
iOS5
BarBottomLock@2x~iphone.png
BarBottomLock~iphone.png
etc
iOS4
[email protected]
BarBottomLock.png
etc
This image shows you the rest of the names:
