open the app
Add widgets like you would on your main page.
If you want a custom slider, press the 'Get Themes' button.
I don't get it, the widgets are the same, there's no "Get Themes" button in the menu for widget locker. What am I missing here? I go to the menu in widget locker and get these options:
WidgetLocker Enabled
Buttons & Inputs
Look & Feel
Behavior
Screen Timeout
Advanced
In Look & Feel here are the options:
Alternative Wallpaper
Select Wallpaper
Background Tint (greyed out)
Slider & Layout
Label Shortcuts
Hide Notification Bar
The only options in Slider & Layout are:
Widget Locker
Standard Android
Sense UI
iPhone
No Slider
That's it, just options for those sliders and no way to download any other ones.
Something must be wrong with mine then because here is what I see when going through the options.
Copy and past the below links into a browser on your desk top (Will be much easier to read through them then on your phone) starting with the first one listed then the next link and so on in succession. In the "Android Themes" thread on XDA-Developers.com you will find everything you ever wanted to know about geeking out on your phone.

Is it warez or something? Maybe you just need to update or have an old school version before he put the new themes in. That's weird man.
edit: Not suggesting that you be a pirate, arrrrr, or anything.
@hailtothetheif The black and white is awesome.
Done playing for the evening.
Clock and weather the same as before.
I made some 200x400 icons for the desktop, used Desktop Visualizer to create the shortcuts.
I don't think the icons necessarily work with the wallpaper, but I think that photograph (and the photographer) is awesome. Ether at Deviantart.

I just dont get all of this. you guys all have nice homescreens but its just so simple and theres nothing on the homescreen. it looks nice but theres no speed. isnt it a pain for you guys to search and search through your apps to find one app when you can just memorize where an app is on a homescreen? you guys dont even use notification bars!
I have all my other shortcuts (like nav, browser, whatever) on the hidden dockbar (ADW EX).
Other stuff... I don't need a Pew Pew 2 shortcut on the desktop.
You need to try it to see what it feels like, you might ended up making a nice minimalistic screen, who knows, for me, the notification bar its just one swipe down away, for my app drawer, just swipe up, I have only what I need on my main screen (most of the time I only use 1 screen at all) phone, sms, and gmail, are there visible and close for easy access, with a minimal clock and minimal battery percentage, there's no even need for a notification bar.

Actually it could be, I downloaded the .apk for WidgetLocker through a thread at xda when I was downloading a ROM there. Looked at the one on the market and mine is WAY outdated by a few versions. Uninstalling now and buy the one from the market.

I think that is the hiccup!! WL its a paid app, I wonder why the warez copy still up and nobody have reported it yet.
