Mail and SMS overlap on Lock Screen

[eleazar123]

Maybe I'm stupid, but I've had this issue for a long time. Whenever I get an e-mail, and then an sms comes in before I read the email, they overlap each other and I can't read either one. I have the default layout currently (mail is listed by the clock and sms down at the bottom of the screen). Is there any way to be able to have both sms and mail on the same screen with the calendar and still be able to read them all? Like maybe sms stays on top until I read it and then mail comes to the front? It's really frustrating b/c it happens quite often.

Any ideas?

What do you mean. Like, the alerts overlap? Or the badges?

I'm having the same issue. Please see attached picture as an example. Note the SMS that is buried under the emails. However, under the Intelliscreen settings, I have mail set for up top with the clock. Let me know if you need further clarification. Thanks

This is obviously a problem with your layout. This is easily fixed by locking a box into place by double clicking it, so that another box does not jump on top of it. This will however when a new email is recieved cause another box to move down, and most likely making another box not visible until the email has been marked as read.

? Then how come under the preferences and layout screen, the mail is shown at the TOP of calendar, not crossing with SMS at all. See attached pic. That doesn't make sense.

how do you place those weather info on the status bar? That's very nice! Can you show me how? Thanks

Sure! It's called WeatherIcon in Cydia. Make sure it's the current version- version 2.2.3. Then you need icons to make it show the picture of the weather like that. There's three choices- Katra weather icon, Klear weather icon, and Smoog weather icon, so download one of those from Cydia too. Mine is Katra, if you like that one in particular. Make sure both Katra and WeatherIcon are enabled in Winterboard. WeatherIcon's settings will be in the default Apple settings app, so you can change there whether you want it in the status bar, on the icon, badges, etc. Hope that helps!
