Removing the clock in the status bar

**CaptainChaos** · 11-04-2008, 12:03 PM

I am working on a theme that displays the time on the springboard so I would like to remove the time that is displayed on the upper status bar. Is there a plist or something I can edit to make invisible or set it to false maybe?

Also, is there a way to rotate the icons 90 degrees? I am trying to create a landscape theme for my springboard, but the labels don't seem to want to change..ie the names displayed under the apps. I know you can make them invisible, but I would prefer them to show.

there is a theme for witherboad in Cydia called Extended Preferences and it has the option to change the clock to whatever you want so if you turn fake time on and leave it blank it makes the clock transparent....and it all is done in the settings app ...i like it its real simple....

i have this widget here that just displays the clock...it was the clock/date widget...all i did was take out the date part of it

PHP Code:

I have been using MIM for some time now and have always wondered what the Banner option was for :P This makes it really simple if people that use the theme now this already. Thank you!

**PARUSA** · 03-08-2009, 11:09 AM

so how can i restore back the time? i tried uninstalling MIM but it didn't restore on old state.
