How do you make a Slider background

[flozzo96]

Hi,
im working on a (not very proffesional) theme and was just wondering: How do I make a custom slider background? I've figured out were to place it, but which size should I use, because I found something about 79x96, but is there an alternative to that horrible, undesignable size?
Thank You,

Flozzo

Question:
Which folder did you find the slider bar image and what is the name of it?

im sure i can make you one in Photoshop

[flozzo96]

well I found the slider bar in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/TelephonyUI.framework
but when I ssh it to pc it is a 79x96 image which appears broken :S

a couple of questions:
whats the name of the file?
what would you like it to look like?

im sure i can help if you like?

[flozzo96]

hi thnx for your help so far,
the file is named bottombarbkgndlock.png, but I have an alternative now, without letters, this was my idea:

[iGarza]

cool. So do you want the word "FLYNN" as the arrow to slide?

[flozzo96]

No, more like in the background, although that is quite a good idea ^^

[iGarza]

so you want the word FLYNN as the background of the slider?

if so let me play with it. i will shoot you something soon

[flozzo96]

Yeah, the attachement somewhere in this topic is what i want the background to look like, and play with it as long as you want

[iGarza]

DANG thats a tough one!!!!
it seems the background of the slider is not do-able because the iPhone stretches that image.

your best bet is to have the text inside the slider say FLYNN and have the arrow button be something cool.

Is this a tron theme?

[flozzo96]

it's indeed hard/impossible, and sorry for this stupid question, but whats a tron theme?

[iGarza]

[flozzo96]
