no matter what i do when including a blank slide to unlock string it wont go away

the weird thing is that its not there as normal it is simply moved to the right a little bit

i cant figure out why it is happening

what ideas do you guys have

[him121213]

i figured out one soloution... i am using customize right now but i still need to figure out why its not working with winterboard

[iBlade]

For some reason it never worked for me either with WinterBoard. I did edit the string file directly in SpringBoard.app

Are you putting the blank string into the correct .proj folder?
I have never had a problem with this. check to make sure you are using/editing the correct folder. For instance, uk is en.lproj, france is fr.lproj and so on.

Try this...

In a theme, or your own,

Yourtheme/Bundles/com.apple.springboard/en.lproj/


And create a SpringBoard.strings (using text edit or equivalent, just change extension to .strings).

These are the following I have, these all make the 'Slide to BLANK' go away....
