what did you do dark?

Never had a doubt in my mind. Out of curiosity, how many hex keys did you try? LOL Good job buddy!

i tried to have an icon on the lockscreen but it doen't work.its not 148x94 either. It's 148x148. I can paste it in the right folder, not deleting your .png, and there does the story ends.
Tried to find the tuto for changing icons, but without result.

Hi Kenny1001,

I love this theme, and it's made me delve more into my N900 then I ever have before - A very nice side effect. I've changed the lockslider image several times, and I use the following process;

1. I use OpenSSH on the N900 and WINSCP on my home computer so I can "log" into the N900 easily (pretty sure you have to have root access on the N900, but can't quite remember).
2. Create your image but it does need to be 148x94 (148 wide, 94 high)
3. Get into the following folder - opt/usr/share/themes/M4riNa-D4rK/images/. This is where the "icon" or graphic is located and it's specifically called LockSliderThumb.png. It's not in any of the icon folders, so this is why I call it a graphic rather then an icon.
4. Change the original graphic to LockSliderThumb_Original.png. This way you always have the original that came with the theme.
5. Copy your new graphic into the folder and make sure you call it LockSliderThumb.png. Capitals and everything.

5(a). Make sure the permissions are set correct (CHMOD). I original had it set as R & W for Owner and just R for both Group and Other, but I have now changed it to R,W & X for all three (0777). Don't know if it matters, because when I first copied it across with the original setting it worked fine, so skip this step if it all works fine (this is a good reason to use OpenSSH and WINSCP as it makes it so easy).

6. Reboot the phone and you should be right to go.

I realise that this may seem to be a very noob set of instructions, but this is essentially what I am (a noob). Hope I helped.

@SoulBlade that is exactly how to do it, the only way easier might be to use filebox?

Make sure root access, view images and show hidden folders are enabled in the filebox settings. Navigate to your new icon in filebox, hold your finger on it till the menu appears, select copy and the icon will now show up in the clipboard. Go to wherever your icon needs to be, select the clipboard again and press paste, confirm the overwrite and you're done!

I have a folder in my MyDocs with all the personal theme bits I use that differ from the standard, so that at every update I just run through the folder and I'm back to my preferred setup.

Another really useful feature of filebox is the bookmarks folder, you can bookmark, say opt/usr/share/themes/M4riNa-D4rK and get straight from MyDocs to your destination folder in 2 keypresses!

I've attached the LockSliderThumb.png from the theme mate, to get yours to show up you can open theme customizer from your general settings, scroll down and (without changing anything) select 'Apply Changes', that should clear the image cache without you needing a re-boot.

@P I think I exhausted every possible number that wouldn't work... because for some reason every one I try now does!! Sod's law

@All Dany-69 has been writing a script to make things easier in terms of the installation of pixmaps icons and widget images, it's not ready yet though. As soon as it is you'll know about it!

Either way I've re-done quite a lot of the theme/icons just neatening things up, and the alarm bug is now fixed. I think the next update will probably be aesthetic, with the script to follow in the one after that.

Thanks to everyone for your patience

Kind Regards,

well i tried with mr soulblade's tuto, using filebox and it works!
because the size isn't correct it looks weird
I don't seem to find cool 148x94 icons.
maybe there is a way to rescale the icon you want...

In any drawing program (like gimp, photoshop, paint.NET) open the png of the one I posted, select the whole icon and cut it.
You'll then be left with an empty 148x94 box which you can put any picture you like in (although you might need to make some a bit smaller to fit). Or just make a 148x94 box, and select and cut that so it's transparent


The lockslider background is in opt/usr/share/themes/M4riNa-D4rK/backgrounds and is called lockslider.png,

i dont think need another keyboard,
