Yeah you're right, gotta be black really. Was just thinking of something different looking (and that i secretly wish i had the white 16gb iphone)
Those revo skins look sweet... would just worry about the protection if it was dropped. I like the feel of a harder case too |

Oh right was the font not applied through winterboard then?
Yeah exactly why i couldnt be bothered with swirly, MMS really isnt that important to me... and having to go on the o2 site to check a received MMS isnt really a problem on the iphone!
I'm quite happy with being able to send the odd quick pic via email too |

lol well i guess it does the same thing essentially, but obviously easier to change it via the phone with Winterboard.
What theme you using atm then? I'm struggling to find one i like atm... using bluebird currently

Nice! Like them both... I like putting my own touch on the themes as well  What annoys me is most of the themes through Cydia have loads of icons missing and it just ruins the theme straight away
Can i just ask you something, how do you get the smegging weather widget to work?!! I've installed wbApp and applied it in winterboard and selected my location within wbApp but it never finds my locale, it just says 'loading' |

I got it to work, well sort of.... Which options did you select to get the description of the weather rather than the location? And how do you get the little borders around the writing and weather symbol? cheers |

ok so you got it working?
the display style is defined in the configure.js file which is in the private folder of the weatherwidget theme
the line
var stylesheetWall='myopia' determines the display style
* originalBubble (which places a chiclet like bubble with the weather info inside)
* split (this the one i am using where you get the local and temp on the left and the current weather icon on the right)
* myopia ( the current weather icon with the temp and locale next to it)
* iconOnly (displays the current weather as an icon only)
* oneLine (displays all info in one line)
inside the styesheets folder is the config file for each display stlye, the little dark borders come from editting the relevevant config file
like
#weatherIcon{
height:36px;
width:36px;
float:right;
padding: 1px 10px 1px 10px;
margin: 0 20px 0 10px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color: rgba(79,79,79,1.0);
}
the lines
border-style:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color: rgba(79,79,79,1.0);
these set the border widths and colour, got mpst of the info from here
http://mytriniphone.com/blog/[....]e-springboard/page-1/post-284/
missing icons is very annoying in themes, tho i managed to find a template icon fr the above themes so i could make the ones i needed
from the template

Cheers for the info on this mate, had a little play with it last night and have put borders round them now! Looks cool. Can see me spending a while playing around with this!
One thing though, you've got the description on the split left, whereas i've just got my locale which i dont want. I'd rather it say 'partly sunny' etc. What do you need to ammend to get it to say that? |

Absolutely in love with this phone. It's stunning.
I can already forgive it for anything, but here's my niggle list so far:
- No delivery receipts on SMS (without typing *0# each time anyway)
- No private appointments in the calendar - ie, if you're using an Exchange calendar that's shared in the office, the appointments you add via the Iphone can't be marked "private" to stop anyone else seeing them,
- No tasks (which I knew about) but dissapointingly, I've not yet found a replacement "to-do" app in the appstore that will actually sound an alarm or alert you in any way about an impending to-do item. This might just be because I've only tried a few free ones... any suggestions?
I'm so impressed with pretty much every other aspect of it, I can happily live with all of the above and more - which surprises me considering I always thought of myself as one of these "power users" that would be driven mad by something so simple as the iPhone... but of course, it's really not simple at all, it's an incredibly complex and well thought out, well engineered, well designed device that just gets it 99% right first time.
Ever heard of Haslemere? It's a relatively small town in the south of england, I happened to pass it on the train last night when my wife texted to see where I was. On the iPhone (to which I'd never mentioned Haslemere before) I one-thumbed something like "i jydr oasswd hssknwtw" - I'm really not sure I typed a single letter right. I was already reaching for the delete key when I realised that "I just passed Haslemere" (complete with capitalisation) was sat there on the screen. Bloody brilliant.

re "i jydr oasswd hssknwtw"  ! I know exactly what you mean, and the thing is it takes some getting used to the iphone getting it right 99.999% of the time as when you start with it you feel you have to keep correcting the words yourself.
btw, sometimes you actually want the word you typed and not the suggested word which would get replaced in when you press space. Just touch your word before pressing space and it will keep your word and next time it won't try to replace your word either. (Not sure if you found this out yet)
anyway, welcome to the club!
you have managed to express my sentiments about the iPhone very well
enjoy!

no problem, to get the description and not the locale you just edit the city to display none and set desc, here is a copy of what my stlyesheet config looks like
#ClockContainer{
position:absolute;
margin-top:-95px;
margin-left:-96px;
}
#WeatherContainer{
opacity:0.85;
margin-top:0px;
margin-left:-65px;
width:100%;
background-color:#aaa;
color:white;
}
#TextContainer, #weatherIcon{
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.37);
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color: rgba(79,79,79,1.0);
opacity:1;
}
#TextContainer{
float:left;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 10px;
margin: 0 10px 0 -25px;
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-shadow: rgba(0,0,0,0.7) 0 0 2px;
}
#TextContainer p{
padding:0;
margin:0;
display:inline;
}
#desc{
font-size:12px;
text-transform:capitalize;
}
#city{
display:none;
}
#weatherIcon{
height:36px;
width:36px;
float:right;
padding: 1px 10px 1px 10px;
margin: 0 20px 0 10px;
-webkit-border-radius:5px;
border-style:solid;
border-width:2px;
border-color: rgba(79,79,79,1.0);

cheers again Nokia... i shall be ammending that later. It's just my town name is pretty long and it looks a bit ugly on the springboard lol
As for the incase slider, Apple Store UK have em... i wanna go in for one soon too. Seen some pretty ok looking fake ones on ebay for £4.99... but i'd never trust the quality of them.
btw Did you find out what that font was that you're using? Also could you tell me how you edited it yourself by sshing in? I've applied a font via winterboard and it only seems to change the icon label etc and not the system fonts |
