MS Extension SnowCover 1.1(Update)
Hi guys,
over the last few days I was working on a little Mobile Substrate
Extension
to display the cover-art on the Lockscreen in a different way.
Current available Themes:
for 1.1:
Vinyl Touch by Thyraz post #1
slice by fer-shirley post #500
Big ol Vinyl by webdiod post ##625
CD Casel by Theshizz000 post ##661
for 2.0:
Dark Wood by pixel-art post #436
Pink Flower by pixel-art post #442
I will collect the other themes in this thread in the first post with
credits to the artists for an easier overview. Please give me permissions to post it here. Also mention a name and the post number
*Im to busy and to lazy to list them here. If someone does the code for me and send me text, ill copy paste it in this post
*
1.1 (The *Lite* version of it)
---------------------------
Changelog for 1.1:
Back to the roots, for less memory usage and a better usability.
- Like Version 1.0 but with Cover Overlay
- Set the size and the position for the Album in a new plist.
- Seperated Theme and Extension in two Downloads
---------------------------
Preview:
Credits to Thyraz, he created the "Vinyl Touch" cover-artwork
displayed above.
Download the theme from here here
and place it in /Library/Themes/ on your device
Installation:
Manually Installation only at the moment.
- Download the package from here
- extract the zip file
- copy the dylib to /Library/Mobile Substrate/DynamicLibraries/
on your device (delete the old one first if you're upgrading)
- activate a SnowCover theme in Winterboard and respring.
Modding:
Inside a theme the following files need to be placed inside /Bundles/
com.apple.springboard
- SCCoverBG.png is the Lockscreen Background used while the Extension
is visible.
- SCCoverFrame.png is the cover itself, displayed behind the iTunes
Album Artwork.
- SCCoverOverlay.png is a image that is displayed above the Album-
Artwork, so it matches your Cover-Style in a better way.
- com.gi-lo.SnowCover.plist controls the size and position ov the
cover artwork.
4 keys inside are needed:
* CoverWidth
* CoverHeight
* CoverX
* CoverY
Or simply copy the file from the sample theme and edit it to your needs.

A little suggestion:
As you can see, this fits very nicely with the Tenuitas Lockscreen
made by iAndrew. ![]()

Works with both Lockinfo Options for me:
Overlay Cover Art and hidden LockInfo when playing music.
edit: for the Wallpaper, it's from kol.

The iPhone version is also in his deviantart package.

I've got LockInfo installed, tried both options Thyraz said worked for him, then disabled it in sbsettings, still nothing ![]()
I'm rebooting now, will update.
edit: reboot did not solve.

That's not a setting with that name.
It's just the opposite of "Overlay Album Art".
So simply turn it off for this "feature". ![]()

An overlay image setting would make this extension perfect IMHO.
By the way, i'm using it along with LockInfo without any problems.
Thanks again for your amazing work ![]()

Re: MS Extension SnowCover 1.1(Update)
What does this really do? Does it display random cover arts from the iPod albums? And how's the performance? Does it use much RAM? Battery?
