opened x-term.
1. typed sudo gainroot
2. typed cp -r /usr/share/themes/beta/* /home/user/MyDocs/themes/beta-backup/
3. typed cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/themes/beta /usr/share/themes/

after doing stage 2 i do have loads of files in my 'beta-backup' folder, after doing stage 3 i have rebooted my N900 but still see my standard lock screen.

Is it because i'm using the Maemo.Org theme?

Changed theme and got it working.

yep.

but you can do it like:

Code:

cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/themes/beta/* /usr/share/themes/$themename/

where $themename is the name of the theme-folder you are using at the moment :)

Yes, I have done it.
Take the .zip. Extract it into a folder on your phone. Somewhere accessible, like /home/user/MyDocs (root folder when you attach phone in mass storage mode; N900 (or something like that) when you use default File Manager on the phone).
Now you see four files in File Manager on the phone. Tap one of them (.deb; its icon is white-and-red), and Application Manager will start. Agree to install Pac-man slider. When it says "application successfully installed", it's installed. You can see Pac-man background. But the slider isn't reloaded it; you need to reboot.
After un-installation, you will also need a reboot to get default theme slider back.

Warning and disclaimer. Theoretically, not every theme works will with it (though most do work as intended). It was tested only with default theme on Maemo 5.
And please, if you installed theme while using theme x, uninstall Pac-man first before uninstalling theme x or updating it; and when uninstalling Pac-man, you MUST use exactly the same theme you used while installing Pac-man. In the worst case, you will lose lock-slider images in one of your themes.
In short, don't do anything with themes while Pac-man is installed, or you might scratch your head in thoughts about lock-slider chaos. If you follow this rule, and theme is standard (has the lock-slider images named standard way), everything is fine.

Re: [Lock Screen] Pac-man pixel-moody

I would love to see someday a full theme in pac-man style :)

Re: [Lock Screen] Pac-man pixel-moody

mmm. No matter what I do, even reboot, I see the proper lock screen only the first time. After that it goes back to the default blue image with the pac-man slider button only.

I'm using the default them, backed it up & then unzipped the images into /usr/share/themes/alpha.What am I doing wrong?:confused:

Re: [Lock Screen] Pac-man pixel-moody

works for me, at least for now

I've made up some new lockslider art after seeing someone else here on the forums give it a go. I pulled up the original arcade ROM and did a screenshot so it's pixel accurate... then it went through the ringer in Photoshop to enhance the pixelisation, add some vignetting and a glow. I'm fairly pleased with the end result, and have even worked it so the dots behind our good friend Puck-man-san dissappear as he goes past.

EDIT: zip file has been updated to support Portrait mode

Enjoy!

These links lead to nowhere. Do you have a pixelated lockslider-portrait.png? Because I like the lockslider background, but I only have the one which is for landscape (as in the deb I packed long ago). And I doubt I would be able to adopt it for portrait.
Best wishes.
