Try this as a demo for how it works

pick a theme and place it at the top (you can move things up and down the list on the right hand side of the screen)

now activate the "No docked icon labels" in the list (make sure its below the theme)

now exit winterboard

when the phone has resprung you will see your theme and you will notice that you still have icon labels under your dock.

now go back into winterboard and move "No docked icon labels" ABOVE your theme

exit winterboard

when the phone has resprung you will see that he icon labels have now disappeared

this is because the "No docked icon labels" is now taking precedence over the theme.

If you move it back the labels will reappear.

Try it with the user lock background option.

hardly a teenager Gary but thanks. OK its working now. Didnt know about moving the winterboard themes

Tony

Gary D · 31-01-2009, 8:18 AM

no worries happy to help, its caught a few people out that one

Have to admit that it all sounded a bit daunting, but its quite simple once you apply a few. The "Alarm LITE" application is quite good too (App Store)

Gary D · 31-01-2009, 8:42 AM

Annoy a teen is my current fav - sends out a sonic pulse over a 6 foot radius of the phone to anyone under 20, seems to work ok - i'm conducting sonic warfare experiments on my nephew today.

back on topic'ish

get the MacBook Air Keyboard - its better than the default

chelsea.tone · 31-01-2009, 8:51 AM

Where would i find that ?

chelsea.tone · 31-01-2009, 9:01 AM

Cant seem to find it

Tony

Thanks Gary for your explanation re Winterboard 'layers'. I did not realise about the hierarchy thing either and could not work out why un-unlockable was not working with the Deep theme. Thanks to you now it does. Brilliant.

Just so glad my iPhone recovered as I am now loving it even more and finding it indispensable. What an amazing piece of kit. I've had it about 18 months but never taken with it till all this fiddling

have you noticed the mac air keyboard
apppearing with a black background in certain apps
mainly cydia i have seen this

I love winterboard
I wonder if apple will ever enable some of the features we all use in jail breaking.
Numeric battery, pda.net, sbsettings style menu

chelsea.tone · 01-02-2009, 9:24 AM

I have the Mac Air Keyboard as advised by Gary D, its much better than standard.

yes i have noticed the "black" KB in cydia and i have no idea what causes it.

as for adopting winterboard - i bet apple have a team of coders who tear apeat every significant cydia release and think to themselves "why didn't we think of that, and how can we implement it without them thinging we have ripped off their idea" - some of the home brew coders have shamed apple.

an iPhone thats not jailbroken is only half an iPhone in my view.
