Patience. Patience. Patience. Or do a search. I would have thought that something like this would be documented somewhere.

Yes it is possible.
If you are still using the alpha theme then the image you need to replace is called lockslider.png and you can ftp to it if you have rootsh installed and just drag and drop your replacement image there.
The filepath is
/usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds

Thanks Peter oh I mean shazosbourne :D

so can you tell me if this is a correct way to do? I'm still learning Linux :)

Code:

mv /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/lockslider.png /home/user/MyDocs/myfolder

and then the file that I've created

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/myfolder /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/lockslider.png

Is this how I do it?:rolleyes:

LOL when you did the first step you overwrite the one you created:D Move it to another directory then copy your own one from the second command you posted.

EDIT: Second command needs to be this

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/myfolder/lockslider.png /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/

Well I am not great with xterm but I think if you create a new image to your liking called lockslider.png and put it in MyDocs/myfolder then you would just need to

cp /home/user/MyDocs/myfolder/lockslider.png /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds

In all seriousness, download and install Winscp connect to your n900 using that. Assuming you have a wireless network to use. So much easier if you want to go changing icons and backgrounds etc.
I might make a youtube video on how to do it as I am surprised at how many people don't use it.

Yeah that would work too,but if he first moves it off to another directory, he will have a backup handy in case he wishes to revert to original;)
