Although the new appearance is still superior to competing = platforms in my opinion, a number of people still prefer the iOS 6 and earl= ier design. That design featured skeuomorphic effects, icons that had a 3D = appearance, gradient menus and icons, and overall had a more polished and p= rofessional look. Of course, iOS does not have a user-accessible file system, and I strongly = do not suggest jailbreaking, so customizing the appearance of iOS is not ve= ry feasible. However, there is a way to make your lock screen look more lik= e the iOS 6 and earlier lock screen using a creative solution. A comparison of the lock screen, with iOS 6 on the left, and later iOS vers= ions on the right This is actually fairly simple to do, and can apply to any wallpaper you wi= sh to use. All you are doing is putting an overlay image over the wallpaper= that you want to use for the lock screen. This should be done on your comp= uter, though I suppose if you have a comparable image editing program on yo= ur mobile device, it could still work. To begin, download one of the images= below. The left one is for 4-inch screens (iPhone 5-series and 5th or 6th = generation iPod touch), and the right one is for 4.7 or 5.5-inch screens (i= Phone 6 or 6S, including Plus models). I'll have a 3.5-inch version for the= iPhone 4 and 4S soon, and possibly the iPad. Please check this link for up= dates. =20 Now that you've downloaded the above image, find the image that you want to= use for your wallpaper, making sure it's the same dimensions as the above = image, and open it in Preview for Mac or a comparable application on your P= C. Next, also open the overlay image that you just downloaded. Press Comman= d + A (substitute control for Command on a PC) to select the entire image. = Now press Command + C to copy it, and close out of the window. Go back to t= he Preview window where your desired wallpaper is, and press Command + V to= paste the overlay image. That's it! That's all you have to do. As long as = your wallpaper has the exact same dimensions as the image here, you should = have a wallpaper that looks very similar to the iOS 6 lock screen. Your fin= ished product should look something like this: A finished version, shown on an iPhone 6 running iOS 9 Just save the image in Preview, and then you're ready to send it to your iO= S device however you like - email, iMessage, AirDrop, etc. Once on your dev= ice, just open Photos, find the image, and select it. Tap the Share icon in= the lower left, and near the bottom you should see options for "Copy," "Sl= ideshow," and so on. Scroll to the right on this portion of the screen unti= l you see "Use as Wallpaper," and tap on that. Tap "Set," then "Set Lock Sc= reen," and now you're all done. You can close out of Photos, lock your devi= ce and then wake it up again to see the new wallpaper. Hope you enjoy it! Back to:=20 Comment on this Blog Post eebf2c3492
