HTC Widget HD for iPhone 4.2.1

So Stetsonstang1 originally posted the tutorial for this, but for those of us on the newest firmware 4.2.1, we run into some problems with the wallpaper. This shows you how to get your own custom wallpaper as the background. It’s a little tough to do but I think the end product is worth it :) Due to the shitty quality of my camera, heres a written guide on how to do it. 1. Open iFile and navigate to /var/stash/Themes/HTC Widget [HD] 2. Open the Wallpaper.html file with the text viewer. 3. Find the string “background-image:url(‘…..’) 4. Delete whatever is between the apostrophes and do one of the folowing. 4a. Paste the URL of the image you want for your background between the apostrophes 4b. Navigate to /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE and find the image you want to use. Remember the name of the image and when you go back to the wallpaper file, type the location of the file between the apostrophes (example: /var/mobile/Media/DCIM/100APPLE/IMG_0642.JPG). 5. On the line below the string we just edited, add “background-size: 60%;”. *If your image has the retina dimensions 640×960 then this will resize it to the screen. If it doesn’t you might have to adjust the percentage until it looks the way you’d like* 6. Respring and it should look good :) Side note: People have pointed out the white border. I haven’t found a fix for this yet but I don’t think it detracts from the beauty of this theme. However I will continue to try and find a way to remove it. Other tweaks on my phone

    @TheKevin12345 Yes I have tried the same fix on firmware 4.3.3 and it works fine!

    Hi, I was just wondering how you were able to move your icons down underneath your clock instead of their usual location at the top.

    why the weather on under the clock and then the weather “today” are different? It should be the same.

    Everyone get perpageHTML from Cydia then install the htc animated weather theme it’s wayy better than this. There’s no white border, no blue question mark box and it uses your wallpaper that you already have!

    open ifile and go to var/mobile/Libra­ry/SpringBoard/HomeBackgroundP­ortrait.jpg” change HomeBackgroundthumbnail to HomeBackgroundT­humbnail1.jpg. then download the picture you want as a background from safari, you need safari download mananger, go back to ifile, press home, got to download, click edit, check the photo you just uploaded, copy/link, then go to private/var/mobile/library/springboard/…rename the HomeBackgroundThumbnail.jpg(WITHOUT THE 1). respring, and Your DONE. Like if Worked
