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:



There you go thats all you need to create a simple lockscreen theme, for more info on what each image does, navigate to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework/ and look at the stock images
